4th round of The Presidents Cup today, 80 gross, not expecting a cut as CSS likely to be 69, but you never know.

Played the Derby today, not as good as yesterday but won my match 2&1 - drove it well again, putted ok, but my shorter clubs were brutal, I didn’t make one birdie from the 4/5 times I was just short of the green on a par 4.... I was not impressed!

half dozens holes this evening on my tod - had a wee ferret around as our Married Couples Open was this afternoon and there were a couple of interclub matches this weekend as well. So rick pickings usually in order. How I found 40 balls I'm not so sure. A dozen I'll use - the rest can go in a big bag of 500-600 and go back to the club for our range (as we have free balls on our range)

Played a drawn comp game yesterday. 41 points with 2 blobs. Only the 4th time in a year I have played to handicap or better so was a bit out of the blue. Front nine was my typical inconsistent game, but my back nine was ridiculously good (shooting +2 gross). Had a front nine of 15 points and a back nine of 26 points. Didn't win comp as someone came in with 42 points but not really fussed about that; the main thing is the handicap cut I should get
played Brora yesterday and it was not a burnt and many of the other courses up here, surprisingly green in places and the don't have a fairway irrigation system either.
Quite a tough wind on the way out, hard off the left. Drove the ball extremely well again with only one fairway missed, pro the best ive ever been of the tee on the back 9 where i have struggled in the past, even had an iron for my 2nd on the par five 10th which was a first for me.
didn't putt well and left plenty out there, but enjoyed the game and company.
No game at Nairn this week as its the 4 day open, but we get a reciprocal at Dunbar so might get a game there on afternoon

Well it was Saturday afternoon actually, with the wife at Davenport (Poynton) I birdied the first, but the wife was on fire. Her swing speed has gone up by at least 50%. Long story short short 114.....11 shots better than previous best! This also included 5 shots taken in a bunker, which she chipped into instead of over from the side of a green, and a five putt on a green after being on for 2 and only 3 meters away. And another four putt after being on for two and her ball rolling off down a slope making it a very tricky putt back up, the first putt came back to her!. So there are at least 8 shots that you could discount making it 106 ! She smiled most of the way round, but still doesn't get the thrill of improvement at sport.
Lovely afternoon out after what we've been through.

Well, if she kept smiling, maybe she does and just doesn't get the thrill of boasting about it?
Kidding. Great to hear that she is doing well and had a great round.

Funny weekend as I had to get out where I could due to lots of family commitments. Friday went out with my wife and son for 4 holes.
Saturday I sneaked in 11 holes early evening on a virtually empty course. An 8 and a 7 on the card ruined my Gross score and also got me two blobs but I managed to score 22 points from the other 9 holes. I got a gross par on two par 4s had a par on two par 4s and par on a par 5. Three 3 putts, one 1 putt and the rest two putts. It was pretty good golf taking into context my 27 handicap.
Sunday had a lesson plus a half hour on the chipping / putting green.
Playing in a society day on Wednesday afternoon!

Veterans Trophy at ours yesterday. 40 points and cut to 11 for the first time.
Usual frustrations as I left at least 3 out there but pleased overall. Down 2.3 in the past two months.

Realised on Friday that all RSG tee times had gone for school holidays in August, so had to book up a time for yesterday in order to use the H4H green voucher with son. Thanks H4H and RSG:thup:
On Sunday played Brabazon course, really enjoyed the course, amazing condition given footfall. Greens were lush and very fast. 10th is a great looking hole, drove green missed putt. Played really well, couple of birdies lots of pars. Hopefully will revisit when we dont have to rush off straight after the round.
Yesterday morning played RSG, loads of tweedle dees and tweedle dumbs on the course:rofl: Still not taken with the course, but did effectively have millionaires golf, one balls ahead of us which we kept up and no one behind us. Very relaxing apart from hitting about a third of my drives in the rough but scored really well, a couple of birdies.
Yesterday afternoon, as in Kent I couldn't stop myself going back to RCP, instead of the beast from the east it was roasting hot, was pooped by the end. This was a round of blob good score repeat, I have left my balls everywhere Really liked this course, probably my equal favourite links course I have played, the undulations on the fairways and greens 'set on dunes' are just fantastic, great fun to play and still made me laugh and smile this time. Drive home in bed just before 3am.

Had my second group lesson on a Sunday then hit the range last night.
Feeling much better about my swing now. Still a million miles off from good but my contact is a lot more consistent and my % of horror shots is coming down fast.
I’m really enjoying not rushing. I don’t own any woods and haven’t hit anything longer than a 7 iron as yet as I want to work gradually on solid foundations.
Looking forward to having some one on one lessons once the group stuff is over.
Going to play the par 3 course at thornbury again on Sat. First week was 88, last week 73 so hoping I can get below 70 on Sat.

Cheers, Chris. I've got Chubby Chandler's number and might give him a call when I knock these last 11 off... :thup::rofl:

Chalk and cheese at the club champs. Net 72 Saturday for +2 and 15th place in net event. Horror net 84 on Sunday. Going great until two consecutive 9's. Crap happens and back to it this week. Couple of bad swings, couple of bad decisions and some red mist. Nothing more

Hit a superb 4 iron up the hill to left corner on the first. Perfect position. Once up the hill the ball had rolled 50 meters to the right. Shocked but no probs. 100 meters out. Hit 3/4 PW. Just short of green. BOING !!!!! Bounced back into rough. Found three balls then mine. Hacked out. Sliced to right of green etc etc etc etc. 10.
Walking round with black clouds all around ??????????????. Going up the 9th, down it came. Soaked! Found 6 balls in rough on 10th. :thup:
Walked off!

Back from part 2 of the southern odyssey. Played West Sussex, Swinley Forest and The Berkshire Blue. Started well and got progressively worse as we went on. Think 7 rounds over 4 days took it out of me but the courses were magnificent.
West Sussex is genuinely awesome. A proper plotters course with some exceptional holes on it. Swinley is an absolute picture! Stunning, stunning beauty over 18 holes which tore me a new one but I loved every minute of it! The Berkshire Blue was also very good but I didn't do it justice. Been very lucky to play them all.

Played Frilford Heath Blue Course, with the current weather it was playing ridiculously difficult. The greens were very quick and firm making it difficult to get anything near the pin.
It didn't help I was playing terribly, fighting a hook the whole way round. I thought I had cracked last week but it's all gone wrong
