I Made A Complete Mess Of Things Today And This Is Why - Rolling Thread

[Crazyface]

I was going to post in the other thread, but it seems that you need to "buffer" and as I didn't........

Major on Sunday. Par- great up and down. Par- simple green in reg and two put. Par - fab up and down again!!!. Long par three. Bit of a wait. rhythm gone. Hydrid, violent slice..ball...gone. Reload with an iron hmmmm nice and safe, must remember this. Went for flag that was too close to edge on the green. Dropped short. chip, shot past hole two stabb....seven.
Playing partners drive off down long difficult par 5. Me to go ......heavens open and a world of water pours down. Panic, slash at drive massive hook, get another ball. Playing partners donning waterproofs. I can hardly see. Rain everywhere. Glasses with drops on them, misting up, clothes quickly getting soaked, hammer one away, ran for cover. Started to suit up. playing partners casaully wander off. Me now soaked to the skin attempting to get into suit. Wet through and proper fed up. 8.
Good job one of my partners was playing shockingly bad and swearing his way round. losing at least ten balls. I kept on giggling at his every duffed shot and curse, s'funny how hearing and old man curse is funny. must be me. As I walked behind him as he cursed his way down each fairway. Best bit was when he said "oh i don't really care.....I've won this one" tears were rolling down my face. i think he thought I should be locked up. :rofl:

Been making a mess of things the past 5 rounds or so.
My swing has faults now that need to be addressed or I can kiss goodbye to getting any lower than 5. My bad rounds have been in the 80's due to poor ball striking and struggling with the driver.
If it wasn't for my wedge game and putting id be going up pretty quickly.
Seems like now more than ever I need range time. So it's time to knuckle down again and stay away from the course comps for a few weeks until I get this sorted..
Had to NR out 11 yesterday (which I hate doing) to maintain pace of play. At that stage I was 10 over. 😨

On the weekend, head just not in the game, I hit every shot in the book bar one, slide, fade, draw, hook, fat, thin, chunk, top, sky, the only one I didn't hit was the one I wanted to. Still it was good exercise and good company.

Sunday could have been a round of 85 if it wasn't for the 6th that I generally always par and the 9th that's always a bogey.

6th - fatted a chip (all other chipping that day was awesome) and then 3 putted - the only 3 putt of the day. 2 nod on the 9th was supposed to be a lazy wedge lay up only it was so lazy I fatter it into a brook 10 yards in front of me.

Ended with an 89 instead of what could quite easily have been my best round of the year.

This has come completely out of the blue, as putting has been my strong suit for ages. Going to put this down as a one-off freak show. Round tomorrow with Fabian- hopefully I'll be able to get the pace down just a little better.

Get your old putter out. I would be making that putter sit the next one out. :rofl:

Made a mess of so many comps where I've been going well and then chucked a cricket score in from nowhere to have a prospective cut go to try and meet the buffer to 0.1ville. Things tend to go to pot very quickly at the moment and so I try and keep put of the way of my PP's if they are going well and not feel too sorry for myself. Sometimes, another PP is having an equally bad time and I usually have a bit of banter with them. We have one or two that turn in swearing machines if it starts going wrong, and are usually on a short fuse and easy to wind up in the 19th

Nah. Love my new putter tbh, and it's been rolling in the putts nicely on my home course. Also holed about 50 yards of putts the week before at another open. It's a BLIP I tell thee!!!!
