Did you get a par 3 on the 9th ?

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.

Being able to see no more than 120 yards I managed to par it.....so up thine!

Finally got to play in a medal after a month of conflicting dates. Just got in before the rain started this evening.

Front 9 of 46 which I felt robbed by (2 tee shots straight down the middle hitting something and shooting into rough never to be seen again).

Back 9 was probably the best I've played. 39 shots for a 85 net 69. From the 6th onwards I didn't miss a green from 160 in. Gutted to miss a few reasonable birdie putts for what would have been a level par back 9.

Should see me cut from 16 (16.3) to 16 (15.7) 🙄🙄

Good effort. Shame about those two lost balls from a good drive. Hope the cut is first of many this season and that back nine is impressive

Day 2 at The Hotchkin and again very enjoyable , visited some different bunkers to yesterday

B Team 4BBB match tonight, I was playing the Mizuno White Fang 1, 3, 5 & 7 woods, Dunlop Peter Thomson 3 to 9 plus PW & SW and a Bronty BW6 putter.

First time out on the course with the Bronty putter and I holed some bombs, including a curling downhiller from off the green, I was starting to feel embarrassed so many were going in.
But we still only managed a half.

Evidently I can’t do maths properly. Now off 15.1.

Last night was a 9 hole divot and drive shotgun start at 5pm. Weather was nice, simply cannot wait for the summer evenings as there was a nice taster with sunny spells. Played ok, was a bit of a mixed bag but I scrambled well. Highlight had to be the pitch in eagle from about 50 yards on the 6th - driver, 4 iron and a pitch for 5 points. Continued with a par on 7, 8 & the first (started on 2). Overall a personal 20 points and our team (best 2 scored from 4) won 😎 nice new callaway epic flash cap and a decent chilli and rice for dinner topped it off perfectly. Great company too 👍🏻👍🏻

Played today, very erratic, probably end up about half way down the field and as its a qualifier will have 0.1 added - oh well !
I did find 6 balls though, including 2 X ProV1.
Every cloud...............

 

[Imurg]

It's a stupid game and I'll fight anyone who says different

 

[Wolf]

Another round and just scraped by into buffer to avoid another 0.1. Yet again Driver woes it goes long straight left, or short and way right 😒 lessons begin tomorrow to correct said issue and may have to treat myself to a new driver just to feel better 😂

IIn the flip side played with a lad of 13 who had 45 points, literally the round of his life and at one point apologised saying he felt embarrassed that everything g he did went in the hole as he knew he'd be called a bandit in clubhouse. Just told him to enjoy the good play and savour the moment.

Great start start to today’s Stableford comp. 1st tee Par 3, 220 into a stiff breeze hit a good one rolls on to about 15 ft from the pin.

A bloomin’ red kite appears from the trees attacks my ball has 3 goes at taking it away leaving about 30yds off the green. New ball as well!

Replace the ball on the green, head gone, 3 putt and the tone set for the day.

Smashing day today. Captain's day, shotgun start. I played with 2 blokes I've never met before and they were great. I didn't score too well but actually played very decently. Putting let me down but equally our greens are quite ropey right now and they cost me a few. I still need to work more on my mid irons but short irons were back on form so that made me a happy boy.

The rain even held off until I came in 😄. Looking forward to next week when I can get back on the yellows.

First medal of the year (as opposed to Stableford which all our winter comps are). Played like a tosser of course. Cracking start of triple, triple. Threatened a comeback by playing reasonably well for 11 holes, then a shank on the 14th resulting in another triple killed that comeback stone dead. Ended up with a net 73 which is +5. And that's me back up to 21 when I should be on 18 by now. Just rubbish. Frustrating. Might go out again tomorrow.

Seems like every round now I hit one or two ridiculous shanks with a wedge. There's nothing more frustrating than being about 100 yards from the green, shanking it in completely the wrong direction into some trees and taking another 5 shots to get it down from there. Painful.

I wasn't last. And that is as good as it got

🤣🤣🤣 We are here to share your pain. I was there 2 weeks ago.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Two days of superb practice disintegrated into mediocrity (at best). A measly 27 points and was lucky to get that. I simply didn't feel I swung it as I had in warm up from the second tee (lost ball OOB). Medal tomorrow. That'll be fun!

 

[Lump]

Captains drive in today. Drawn 4balls. I pulled the outgoing lady Captain and Club captain.
5 birdies myself and a great team effort, we snuck the win by 2 pts. Really nice day and really starting to feel at home at the new club.

Why did you leave Selby James?

I like the look of the oaks, does it feel like a relatively new course?

You’ve got some cracking professionals there.

Keep going Homer.

It will happen one day when it all clicks into place.

Cheers pal. Still glass half full as it really does feel close and the work I've done in practice where I'm hitting it great reminds me its in there. Just need to stay patient although I could do with a spark on the greens but we'll try again tomorrow and see what happens
