Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

End of Season Academy Comp. Played 9 holes Greensomes with an Academy Member - our 21pts won it. I played very average but my 5hybrid worked pretty well the times I used it.

And I really enjoyed playing with a lady academy member (academy/v forward tees HC 37; ladies back comp tee she is HC 50 :oops:).

I generally find playing with lady 'academy/newbies/learners' easier than playing with Academy blokes - the blokes often are more inclined to want to play the shots that they think they should be able to take on and play - ignoring my advice - when I know that they are unlikely to succeed - and in any alternative shot format course management is crucial. I'll add, I'll always let a newbie bloke play the shot he wants to play even if it against my advice (as if I could stop him) - and I'll never complain. I might give him a gentle 'well I did say...' look if and when it goes wrong ;)

Can't wait already
 
Just a few holes late yesterday afternoon in the warm sunshine - all by myself and as I looked around hardly anyone on the course. Lovely - at last.

Our head greenie was hand-watering new turf and had switched on some of our tee watering - we haven't had any rain of any amount for 15days - and none forecast for this week. That after the rain we've had those last 6 months. Course and new works coming along nicely.
