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.
Well done matey. I've done my hard yards and qualified for our end of season "Masters" for competition winners between September 2018 and August 2019

Went out solo today, trying a few things.
Quite busy for a Monday so I had to skip around missing some holes, playing some twice...
It's there, it just needs a damn good kick up the backside!
But I did play our 9th hole twice in a total of 7 shots - it's considered one of the trickier ones so that was pleasing.

I didn’t play, but I practised on the short game area at Woburn today. Just a joy to be there and playing different shots from different distances. Just amazing. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Just a bounce game today with 14 players, a few pulling out because of the threat of rain, which didn't materialised.
Good conditions, but the scoring was poor. 2nd with 32 points, with the winner having 33 points.
Driving was the worse this year, but managed to somehow work myself around the course.
Parred all 4 of our par 3 holes. The Spanish do like long par threes, our yellow tees are 157 180 176 and 185 yards.

Next game is on Friday, April Medal.

I'd love to have that sort of facility accessible locally. I could literally spend hours and hours working on things and finding out what does and doesn't work best for my game.

Wandered round for 18 holes with a 2 and a14 handicapper. With an 8 on one par 4 the score was always going to be high but an 84 (71) off 12 was ok. Best thing was the low handicapper suggestion that I try cack handed putting and it worked really well. He shot gross 66😁😁

I take it your putting was terrible ? Otherwise I would take it as a bit of gamesmanship.:unsure:

No, the 9th is the one with the windmill

Beaten to it. Good to see other forumers on my wavelength.(y)

Played today and marked a card for a new member, he hit the ball absolutely miles it was obscene, at one point on a par 3 I was hitting 5 iron and he was hitting a PW! Then one par 5 I've got a 3 wood for 2nd shot and he has a 7iron! However he had absolutely no short game whatsoever and shot a 90 despite hitting a lot of fairways and greens, if he can find a short game he will be lethal.

I on the other hand stuck with 3 wood off the tee as again driver was barely finding the course, even the 3 wood was struggling to behave. But I managed to knock it round in +8 with a penalty drop on the last and OOB on the 12th (the one time I hit the driver😒).

Lessons booked in for next week to start the process of sorting my game out and seeing if I can actually play a competition round without having a horror show.

We got beaten by the fog - as expertly forecast.. Not!
Managed 9 and the fog wafted in and out but settled as a total pea soup on the 8th.
Played the 9th and called it a day...
A mile down the road it was cracking the pavements:mad:

Did you get a par 3 on the 9th ?:whistle::)

Got a society day at Blackmoor tomorrow , so you can keep the fog to yourself. Would be nice if it warmed up a bit as well. We have some ancient Mariners that might not survive a cold snap.:eek:
