Good day today

[The_Squire]

Had my best round today and in a competition as well.

We had the Monthly stableford on the Roman Road course (sss70) and I hit 39 points and a gross score of 81 nett 67 with a couple of sand saves and a couple of birdies. What pleased me most though was it's the first time I've kept a six off the card. Now can I continue it the next time I go out?

I had a terrible day I shot a 77 but should have been better lipped out for 2 eagles on 9 and 15 and many birdie oppurtunities went astray.

That's good going squire keeping 6's off your card is definitely the way to good golf. I thought I had done a good job of this when I had parred all the par 5s last time out and only had bogeys on the par 4s. I then proceeded to make 2 doubles on remaining par 4s meaning I had 2 of the bleeders!

I'm guessing the course is pretty difficult off the competition tees as well so very well done, and as ever good luck reproducing the form.

Thats pretty good shooting. I had nothing on so went out late this afternoon on my own. The chipping was better but the pitching is still hit and miss. I'll either stiff it or shank it and both swing feel exactly the same. Putter was stone cold but my long game was in excellent knick. Didn't keep score and was playing two balls so really just an on course practice session

On the 2nd hardest hole I missed a 1 ft putt for birdie and had 4 other chances for par from 1-2 ft and missed all of them. Hoping for a better day tommrow.

So you missed 5 times from less than 24 inches! Book a putting lesson with your pro or go to Specsavers.

 

[CarpeDiem]

My eyes are fine, just after the first one (2nd hole) I lost all my confidence. After the round I handed my card in a when straight onto the putting green, holed every single putt from 4 ft and in. Just need to chill tonight and have another go tomorrow. If not then its lesson time.

My putting today was an absolute shambles. I was hitting loads of greens in regulation, but letting myself down with 3 and even 4 puts. Absolutely no confidence with teh flat stick. Time for a new one? Ha!

 

[mono217]

HNJ just annoyed that I could have done better if you know what I mean

 

[Canfordhacker]

Well done Squire - anytime you keep a six off it will be good.

Mono - what do you play off?

 

[mono217]

14.6 but will be cut because I shot a 8 under but this is still a winter handicap my summer one will be back soon

 

[HomerJSimpson]

No such thing as a winter and summer handicap. Your andicap is the same all year subject to cuts and increases based on performance vs SSS or CSS

Where was that mono?

 

[mono217]

HJS our course does it really wierd in the winter instead of freezing our handicap or anything you have a different one for summer or winter.

Mono, my friend. Have you heard of grammar and punctuation?

 

[mono217]

Sorry shanker.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I stand by my original comment. You don't have two handicaps unless someone else can enlighten me in which case I'd be happy to learn

 

[The_Squire]

Eaglehunter,

Sorry this reply is late but just got in from Cardiff after a few apple juices from Bulmers.
It was off the yellow tees as the whites aren't in comps until April, but the sss70 is for the yellows.

Still, very happy with it.

Was 83 - 10 nett 73 drove great irons good but couldn't putt for toffee i feel a new putter in the wind the pro offered me a good deal on a Scotty Cameron more haggling to be done there. 6 3 putts is no good.
