I played for the first time today in 50+ days and …...

You mean "sliced"...... ?

If he hit a 3/4 gap wedge, by forum standards the slice must have been accompanied with a fat hit

Thought this needed its own thread for comments on our first round back.

I was one of the first ones out at Pyrford this morning (pulling rank as Captain of course!) - first shot really ropey as trying to remember how to swing a club. Then somehow shot level par for the front nine and +3 gross overall. Where did that come from?

We have taken white tees away to promote social golf - all the essential distancing options - starting on the 10th because it is right by the clubhouse window. But hey - GOLF IS BACK!!! (Sorry Scotland/NI)

Out of interest, when did you start your captaincy?
I was supposed to start mine after the AGM at the end of March but that has been postponed now until November at the earliest.
Will yours run for the usual 12 months or has it been extended?

I don't "slice" I work the ball left to right

It began in November so I am half-way through it. There have been informal comments about doing another year but it depends on my own circumstances as I was planning to move from Surrey down to Devon at the end of this year. We will see. I have just had to cancel my Captain's Day and postponed the Club Championship for now until September. Guess I picked the wrong year to have the honour.

Yes, and me.
It has been suggested that we swap to a November changeover and that would tie in with when our ladies section change their captaincy.

I don't think we will be allowed fourballs unless our protocol differs from the GUI Republic of Ireland model. But I know that today the GUI have a meeting with all clubs to sign them up to the protocols, so I cant see them being any different.

3 balls at 14 min intervals is what we are going for at Clandeboye.

That'll do me at Warrenpoint.

Haven't picked up a club in 2x months.
1st tee today.
Mini driver to the 150 market (fairway)
8 iron to within 3ft of the pin
Sunk the putt for birdie
???

The rest of the round wasn't too shabby,
Pars or 1x over with 1x blob.
All in all, much better than expected.
A happy bunny to be back playing.
Roll on Fri for my next game.

3hcp....before the lockdown.
Steady 87 today. ? 3rd swing was a shank. Game feels very rusty and hands are sore.

On the bright side. You broke 90

 

[Papas1982]

30 points. Typically best drive of the day on the first.

30 mph winds with ridiculous gusts, but better weather reported next two days. So will try again.

Course was spot on. If that was with limited staff they've done well.

 

[Ye Olde Boomer]

Our course is now open but the clubhouse is still closed.

I've yet to be tempted. Right now I'm missing the club more than the golf, I guess.

Hope HJS doesn't see this, he's nervous enough without seeing how badly a 'proper' golfer has gone today

We've had the same problem..... we've called this year just an 'Honourary year', though I'm not sure of the meaning other than it's 'Void' & we've just moved everything back a year. So its now 2022 for my Captains year......... hopefully.
Good luck with your year's guys.

16.00 tee time , respectable drive down the first , flushed a 4 iron to 3 foot and drained the birdie putt, laughing like a drain at how stupid this game can be be !!
HiD had 36 points and chuffed and I ended up on 33

HiD picked up her own bunker rake from garden centre for £5, does the job

Cheers Dave. It may well be 2022 before things are back to something like normal.
