I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

First card of the year, first full round at home this year and............
79 blows (+8) tor 35 poi ts and a 0.1 or 0.2 cut.
I'll take that after the poor showing on Friday....
Doubled the 10th - our first - with 4 very poor shots then picked things up a bit.
Turned with 16 poi ts so level 2s for the 8 holes...and then the game kicked in.
A birdie and 4 pars to start our back 9 but 3 bogeys in the last 4 holes scuppered a really good score.
Birdie putt lipped out on the last too.....
And the heel is holding up.....
Bring on Spring
 
9 holes today as a warm up for Wednesday.. make sure I am in the groove. Solid 39 out but a few disappointing putts and one 3 putt. Mostly okay stuff, I was trying a Callaway Chrome Tour ball today. The idea was to reduce my driver spin levels but to be honest I think it will take more than a ball to get it down.
 
Played with my best mate at the club. He always wants some sort of competition and loves match play, so that's what we did, off scratch. (I'm off 15 he's off 8). I won the first. Second is a par three, I put my tee shot to 2 meters, he was up a steep banl to the right of the green, with no shot. He drop it to with in 15 cm. Gimme. 3rd. I smashed my drive and absolute mile up the hill. He's 30 meters back. He puts his chip to the back left of the green with almost no chance. I flick on. He.....yup chips to less than 15cm. gimme. And on and on and on. He won it on the 15th. BUT. I missed a nemesis putt on 15. He told me why and how to correct. So from there on in I was practising the putts. Came off feeling pretty good. We should be having a re-match on Wednesday, weather permitting. He really wants me to stay.......but as we walked round pointed out all thre reasons I'm leaving (without knowing it).
 
18 holes at Goswick today, first 18 as a member.😬
No mats as of yesterday, course dry as a bone, came off the course with clean shoes, no mud on the trousers and a big smile on my face.

New 7th Par 3 hole looks like it’s always been there, incredible job by the greenstaff. Opens for play 1st April.

Bit of a mild wind and sunny.
Was this created though the winter?
