How did it go

[Deleted member 15344]

It didn’t get any better did it ?

Finding the tee shot is a victory for him - even if it didn’t go past the ladies

Weird day - every par was a good drive, awful second shot, brilliant third shot, 6ft away max.
Drives were a mix of superb ( for me) and topped?
Hybrids - started badly and gradually got straighter with each shot.
Irons - generally left apart from wedge or 9i which all ended close to the pin.

Greens were much better than I expected so roll on tomorrow.

did you only play 9 holes? MyFitnessPal registers 1800 if carrying for 18 or 1400-1500 if pulling a trolley

I just tracked my steps. I find MyFitnessPal grossly over exaggerates calories burnt on their exercises.

Disappointed in the condition of the course, being as it has been unplayed for months. Played OK (for me, that is) ... three really good holes, three disastrous holes and the rest average. Happy to be out there again ... and in the sun too.

Got to love Cumbrian weather

Theres a reason it's called ' The Lakes'

After thinking I was prime Tiger for a few months playing in a net I bladed my first shot on the range! It gradually improved and played pretty well! Under 74 which was my target.

Best part was having a few cans in the mates garden after.

I played as well as I was playing in December...awful. 6 points front nine, 10 points back nine. Although the course looks green and lush, it was very wet still in places.

Wasn't it? I've just got in from a few too many drinks on a mates boat and playing again tomorrow early doors!

Hmmm....
10 points after 4 holes including a birdie . Then another 10 on next 13 holes . And 3 points on the last . Bloody game. Not sure why I was so keen for lockdown to end?

What exactly disappointed you about the conditions of the course considering the winter and early spring we have had and the lack of warm weather to help the growth ?

19 points on the front nine, 9 on the back. Just happy to be playing.

As if getting out for 18 holes of golf and banter with the lads wasn’t already fantastic enough... I get home and the Mrs says “fish & chips for supper, my treat” That’s not a cod it’s a shark ? (and yes that’s her mug in the background, much easier to agree ?) View attachment 35891

That is actually making me hungry ?

You want your handicap looking at you do....

Great being out in the sunshine and swinging a club again. Played better than expected, 41 for the front. Got a bit tired carrying, a couple of double bogeys at the start of the back nine resulted in 44 back. Thought the course looked great, still a bit soft in parts on the back, and the greens were slow, but can see the work the green staff have been doing, just bloody great to be out and and playing again.

Chuffed for the Scottish lad who dropped in with us. He won with 41 points. However one of the other guys who normally plays with us finished last with 18 points ?

It was a bit of a prod and it went about 220yds up right side of fairway...

Played 13 holes by myself and with 2 balls - course in lovely condition and didn’t once did I have a dodgy fairway lie. All went well until an unmentionable with one tee shot on the last I played. Just about scraped a par with it. Typical. But played my dodgy run of holes - 6 through 9 - in level par with the two balls. 6 pars, a bogey and a birdie. Sweet.

 

[clubchamp98]

Played quite well yesterday.
Only problem was normally I am pretty good from 80yds but just couldn’t get it right long or short.
Bit of fusarium scaring on greens but course was good.

Beyond the state of their game, how did people's bodies and related aches and pains react after the last couple of months of enforced hibernation?
I've put on a 2 kg and feel as stiff as a board, even before hitting anything.
