how did we all get on today?

1 over for 16 holes was enough for a 3&2 win despite having to give 14 shots away. Even if i do say so myself, my wedge play was excellent today.

Also I have finally found a 3wood that i like, the new Nike VR str8 fit with a stiff Voodoo is the mutts nuts.

good on u!
 
Hit the ball pretty solidly all round but couldn't score. For some reason I decided to put the itsy spider back in the bag (no idea why) and had no confidence on the green. My partner who use to go under a bandit pseudonym had an absolute howler. 38 points on a Friday and couldn't play today. We got turned over 4&3 in a friendly bounce game
 
I shot 81 nett 71 for 36 points, could have and should have been better.

Had 3 duffed chips and only hit 6 GIR.

Not sure what was wrong but all the greens i didnt hit in regulation were missed to the right.

Roll on tomorrows round.
 
Medal was cancelled due to frost. Greens were back on when I played. Teed off at 1.30 and was 5 over for the front and 10 over for the back. Off 18 so am happy with that. Was off slightly forward tees in some holes but thats my best score since last March.

10 fairways and 5 gir with 32 putts.

As usual I duffed 5/6 wedges shots.......
 
First proper medal of the year. Nett 64 with a @&*$: 8 on a par 4, Didn't play particularly well but scrambled well and dropped a couple of long putts.
 
+4 today.

Not too bad. Didn't swing it great to be honest but I got it round. Greens were very poor, 35 putts including two 3 jabs.

Had to go to Rothesay for a game as like Andy our place still has over 4" of snow on it!
 
4bbb comp today and back on all 18 greens which were a little slow and bumpy tbh

We shot 72 gross 66 nett which wont come anywhere near the prizes as a 60 was in when we left.

Shot 75 on my own ball with a horrible double on the 14th , a good days golfing and a nice start to the years comps
 
Played a winter 4 ball tie this morning. Course was a lot drier underfoot than it was a fortnight ago. Played reasonably well, but we lost at 20th hole :( The greens were a lottery today, still suffering badly from all the snow and wet weather.

4 weeks to go until the first medal.... hmmmm, might give it a miss unless the course improves drastically :o

On the bright side, the game is getting there. Ball striking quite good today, even with three layers on !
 
We tee'd off in slight frost so we played 1st 8 holes on temp greens. I had 22 pts for the 1st 9 holes and 20 over the 2nd 9, so 2 weeks in a row 42 pts. I had 1 bad snap hook on our 8th hole today got away with bogie. 4 birdies and 2 bogies rest par's. Took the cash of the guys yet again, so things looking good. Weather meant to be good tomorrow so hear's to another good round.
 
Struck the ball really well today. Didn't match the score.

A shocking 89 net 70 for 1 over my handicap - including 7 3 putts, 1 OOB (complete stupidity on my part) and 3 shots in a bunker on the 18th. Piss poor.

Still, there's always tomorrow. Mixed Ambrose, 8:30am shotgun start. Got a crap hole to start on, bloody miles away.
 
Off out for a lesson on the short game tomorrow. It better be warmer today standing around being shown how to do it properly. The wind was proper cold today even with a number of layers and a jacket on
