Played solo today, expecting 4.5hr round due to all the 4 balls on jam packed course
1st tee rain started, not quite biblical but noah on standby for front nine
Ppl retreating to club house en masse leaving mostly clear course and the two other groups of die hards let me through in seconds
Such an enjoyable round even in the rain
18 done in a smidge under 2hours
Terrible scores on front nine that i haven't even counted up yet but reset on 10th tee and played a much better coming home in 1 under handicap for 2nd nine
Absolutely drowned with no waterproof gear and just polo shirt and shorts but didn't dampen the spirits

Did you have a buggy, or were you running between shots?

As much as I'd like to claim walking with tour bag... I had buggy

Fraid not, moved to another course this year and too far to commute for 6 days
I'll go watch one day but would need to hire a place nearby if I wanted to caddy

Christmas party for the grandchildren at the club today. Face painting, dancing, magician and a selection box off Santa to round it off. All of the kids loved it.
Me? Four hours of mayhem and wild screaming, I just had to suck it up.
I could have just as easily put this in Golf Random Irritations

Booked 4 open competitions for next season this afternoon.
Car packed for a trip to Saunton tomorrow morning.
Need to play more competitions, too much social golf this year.

My 3 grown up kids chipped in together and got me a round at Gleneagles, son said he would come and play as well.
Much appreciated and having played there once before I shall look forward to a return.

Not seeing any of those awful Christmas photos of professional golfers posing with the family in matching onesies

Despite being flat and generously supplied with trees, there's a bit on my course where you get a good view of nearly the full length of the first 6 holes all at once.
When I was round that spot today, I realised that every single group on all of these holes involved a youngster or two; one group playing by themselves, some playing with Dad, some with Mum and some with Grandad (at a best guess). Great to see - who says they're all welded to Playstations!

Finished the year with three rounds in the 70’s, and my game in a completely different place from this time last year.

Gladden the heart…or just the wonder of it. I dunno.
Lottie Woad home for Christmas and at the club practicing today. As I stood on our 3rd tee beside our practice chipping ground she’d been practicing for, I guess, at least an hour. An hour after we finished our 4hr round she was on the putting green in the near darkness. I guess that’s just the name of the game at the very top.

End of the day it’s her job! So putting in say 5-6hrs of practice is no different from someone doing their working day and I’d expect that from a top level player.
I find it more impressive when Am’s do it whilst holding down full time jobs or education because they’re having to fit it in around normal life. BTW not taking anything away from her it’s good she’s putting in the work and hopefully does even better next year and fantastic you are up close seeing it in person.

Most encouragingly so did I
And for me, as it is for you also I guess, that’s a big thing given the state of my game spring time this year when my HI was 8.0 cf current 5.7

You are spot on with that
