Second on Wednesday, and first today. 4 birdies and an outrageous eagle. The second shot to the par 5 was tugged left a little, over some tall trees OOB. Long enough to carry the corner and finish pin high a foot to the left of the green. 40ft downhill, swinging putt - in she popped.

Thanks guys, look forward to meeting up soon for a NE meet.

Came 5th in todays comp and earned a .3 cut. Three better than handicap but only one better than CSS.

I played like a Fish out of water today absolutely shocking if the truth be told but I guess some would be happy with it :swing:

Pleasure to be there Paul. Smashing day, good company. All very respectable and yet still 9 points behind the clubhouse leaders 😱😱.

Shot 75. 38 points stableford. 2nd place to a 42 maybe cabby had a point.

77 blows round the PGA National at the Belfry, the first decent round in a while, and still plenty to work on.

played with the usual crowd yesterday, but decided to play an individual comp between us rather than the usual 4 BBB and team game. Played pretty steady with a 74 gross (sss73) drove the ball very well happy with my game at the moment. wish i'd entered the 4 day next week now.

off to play with the Tain boys at Brora this lunchtime.

Just managed a few holes yesterday evening by myself - knocking a couple of balls along. On our short 4th - couple of 5i tee shots - same distance maybe 10 paces apart. Leaves something like 75yds to flag. First one I catch thin and it whizzes over the green into the boundary hedge and OoB. 2nd hit very nicely and it goes in the hole for an eagle. Funny old game.

Not been out much in the last few weeks, had one shonky round a couple of weeks back. Could barely hit it today.

Squared my shoulders after going round the par 3 course in 40 for 9 holes. Finally hitting the ball, if not on line, got round I 33.

All shots now straight and I’m also lining up better too. This bodes well for my game as this was the form I found earlier this year before the heatwave struck.

Finally found some form this morning, 1st out at 7-20am and round in 75 blows so will have a small cut coming. Breezy but ball running miles as its still like concrete. Drive on 17 went 350 yards, unfortunately it was my second ball as the 1st one was in the middle of a gorse bush!

Should have been a sub par round but threw away 4 shots on the 3 par 5's on the back 9.

Frustrating but stopped the rot.

Played a 4 Ball better ball today, drove the ball very well but the rest was a struggle, enjoyed the format though.
Going to have to get practicing in the bunker again, killed 2 holes for me.

I decided that I needed some experience playing comps on away courses (something I have very rarely done and always with disastrous results), so I signed up for a 9-hole comp at Schloss Myllendonk today. That's actually the golf course closest to where I live, but I'd never played there, because it has the reputation of being very exclusive and snobbish. The greenfee was a bit on the expensive side with 40€ for the 9 holes plus 8 € to join the comp, but it was well worth it. Not only is the course located really beautifully around an old castle with the club house restaurant, pro shop etc. all situated in the outbuildings of the castle, the course itself is build on the old castle grounds and is a really stunning parkland course. The greens were the fastest but also best I ever played anywhere. Like green velvet. Absolutely amazing. I later learned that they have been rated the 3rd best greens in all of Germany. I really expected the members and the staff to be a bit arrogant, but they totally weren't. Everybody was just super-nice and there was a really cool bantery atmosphere all around. I just loved it there. I played pretty solid (to be honest, I think the course is quite a bit easier than my home course, even though it is rated harder), playing 22 pts on the 9 holes and got my handicap cut from -29.5 to -27.5.

The coolest thing is that, even though I could never afford a full membership there, they offered me a "secondary membership" (provided I am a full paying member at another club in the area, which I am) for 850€ a year. Now, that is still a hefty amount, but provided that I could literally play there every day (it is just 5 minutes from my workplace and less than 10 min from where I live ... I could even walk there if I wanted to), I think it could be worth it. I am really excited about this. I think I will do it next year.

Occasionally you hit a bit of form and just hope it lasts a bit longer. Well finally after shooting level gross last weekend I managed to keep the form running for a whole week and today was crowned Club Champion !!
Amazed and still in a bit of shock to be honest, new handicap of 4.3 with take some getting used to though!

Had the day off work today to have a round with my dad and my uncle at Aldenham. Played an absolute blinder! 42 out, 42 in for a 14 over par 84. Ties my best ever gross score that I only got two weeks ago, but as that was on a par 68 I'd say this is my new best. Got 42 points. 7 pars, 3 double bogeys and the rest all bogeys. Feeling pretty good about my game at the moment.

Two days after the above, went out with my mates and played Grims Dyke. Never played there before, but I went out and got a new personal best of 83! Even managed two birdies in a row at the 6th and 7th, never done that before. The putt for the second birdie was almost certainly the best putt I've ever hit, I was off the back of a two tier green with the pin on the lower tier right at the front. Must have been at least 50 feet but I sank it somehow.

Had an unbelievable month really. Last month my best ever round was 85, this month I've got 84 twice and now an 83, and on three different courses too. Buzzing at the moment!
