First qualifier of the year and I'm leader in the clubhouse.

Well, this is what happens when you don't advertise a competition until the afternoon/evening before
There were.......2 entries!!
Me and CVG.....and I did him by a point so I've won my first competition at the Zoo
What a joke
And because we both missed buffer by about a long par 5 , CSS went reductions only..........

now that you are a winner, there is only one way to go I’m afraid. It’s only a short life span at the top😂😂😂

did you get your name on a board?

 

[Imurg]

did you get your name on a board?

Sadly, no.
Just a boring monthly comp......anyway, 5 day members don't get board comps at our place.

Just got back from the club, as I expected 0.1 increase coming my way. Started par, par, quad, quad, triple to be +11 after 5 holes.. Then pars all way until the par 4, 9th hole there I am 95 yards from the green in 1, walked off with a 6.

So 13 over after 9 holes. Then managed to shoot level par back 9, what a poxy game. I definetly need to practice more and sort out my driving and bunker play.

So @Imurg after 1 round you have the lead in our wager...

Played darenth valley.
Didn’t hit a fairway.
Irons were ok.
Played last 7 holes level par.
Have developed a high fade with my driver which is annoying.
Off to the range tomorrow

Went to the range with 7iron, 3 wood and driver.
Hit 60 balls in total of which 10 were decent.
I hate this poxy game

Sunday roll up and another miserable day playing badly. There seems to be a definite pattern emerging over the last month or so of playing reasonably most Saturdays and then terribly on a Sunday. No idea why but it stops now

 

[garyinderry]

4 over front, level par back. Double on a 130yard par 3. Ouch


New putting grip working an absolute treat. Holing out is a breeze and feeling very confident of putts going on my intended line for longer ones.

Looking forward to the course going back to full length. Weather was perfect out there today.

 

[Bxm Foxy]

Late report, played Saturday. Absolutely perfect conditions, very inconsistent golf from me. 32 points, left lots of shots out there. Looking forward to a few things to work on before next game on Saturday.

 

[Crazyface]

and played with an unloosable ball. I sent it to places that, I'm sure no other golf ball had ever been, and kept on finding it. I reloaded at least 5 times so by finding it I saved at least 10 shots! Smashing day it was too.

 

[Fish]

I lost 4 balls over the weekend, 1 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday, with 2 of those being on 1 hole!

Nuff said.....

 

[Curls]

What did we learn from this weekend's competitive activity?

Don't skull a pint, run to the tee box and take your first swing of the day.

 

[Crazyface]

I found one as well!!! The wife also "found" one as she discovered on the green we were on at the time. (Played wrong ball). LOL. It got launched into the bushes nearby on completion of the hole.

Bitter sweet yesterday playing in the first (and last) comp of the season at Aylesbury Park GC which is now closed due to HS2.
It was captains changeover Texas Scramble (must be shortest term for a captain ever) and whilst I was somewhat off form, we managed to come 2nd with net 59.1

Played at St Daves, started off great 6 pars on the front nine, driving great and long game great. thought for the first time ever I was going to beat my handicap, not a chance, only got a couple pars on the back nine as the short game disappeared.

Its a hard course when you are hitting woods into most of the par 4s, 3s and 5s and your short game doesn't get you up and down at all. Must have gone in 5-6 greenside bunkers after pretty good shots to the green with woods and didnt manage to get up and down once. The course is great its so relentless.

Came back, then had a quick 9 holes at the home club and went round in 1 over. Hit every fairway and both pars 3s off the tee, so 9 out of 9, don't think I have ever done that before, shame I didn't sink a putt.

First title of the season safely tucked away in the trophy cabinet, won the Centenary Four Ball competition to open the season with my regular PP Paul. Very close finish but won on count back with a better back 9.

Was a good day and we both played well.

[GG26]

Only managed nine holes at the weekend and with a couple of exceptions struck the ball really well. My previous best score on our front nine was 43 and managed a 40 and could easily have been a couple less. Even threw a couple of birdies in there, which are rare for me. Just hope I keep this up when our season starts, although disappointingly we only have two weekend qualifiers before June.

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Got out this afternoon, only 1 other person on the course, gross 73 for a nett 64 , best score I’ve put together off the winter tees and preferred lies. Included 5 birdies, another personal best!
Short game was spot on, had a loft and lie check done on the irons on saturday and all 3 wedges adjusted to 2 degrees flat.
Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Played Porthmadog GC today to complete a busy few days of golf. Royal Lytham last Thursday, Holywell GC on Saturday and Royal St Davids yesterday were the other rounds. Decent sunny weather for all the games but very inconsistent in each. A few good holes always seem to be followed by a few very poor holes. No confidence in my game at the moment but the light nights now will see me get a bit of practice in.
