A nice round at Burnham and Berrow courtesy of @MendieGK alongsode @pokerjoke

What a quality course that is. Really enjoyed the course. Very quickly starting to see the beauty of such courses. I’ll not go into detail on the round as it’s not polite to brag 😂😂

One thing though. If I see another amateur hit it as far as Sam I’ll be amazed. Didn’t hurt the ego at all 😆😆

Really enjoyed the round today in great company,Sam was a splendid host and Dave was great company all the way round(helps when you have lots of shots .

Course was in good condition and the greens were very true.

Drove so well today to the 18th when I needed a good one the gods failed me.
Great fun being bombed past by 50 yards when Sam brought out the big dog.
Dave very steady golf and if you stay patient that handicap will come down for sure.

FIrst round off the tips net 71 .
Double on first
Double on nine.
Treble on sixteen.
The rest was very good.
Bit disappointed until I saw 63 on leader board. “63” jeez.

Some would say that drive on 18 was karma....

Not me if course. But some.....

Nice to meet more forummers. What this place is all about.

played with a mate who wanted to put in a supplementary score before heading off for work for a couple of months.

quite windy and an easterly too boot. first time on the new holes from the back tee's. first is 50 yards longer, but was a drive and a 9 iron , had to lay up on the 2nd with the new drive bunkers so was hybrid off the tee which left a 266 shot for the 2nd, made it.. just . 6th is def easier. 7th was 3 wood, 5 iron and wedge. back 9 was tough into the wind,

i played quite well, which is typical as i didn't take a sup card and shot 3 over gross which would have been a cut, my mate played sheer hite and will be getting 0.1

new holes are nice though the greens are slow, def going to be playing a could of shots harder into a westerly

Oh my days, as a long hitter myself🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😱 I look forward to playing with @MendieGK and @Captainron in 2 weeks. I should be at least 80 yards shorter per drive than them two.

I guess Sam will be straighter than Cam 🤣

Even I'm straighter than Cam. I may be 100 yards shorter but I have a chance to actually play my second with the same ball

I do recall thinking Cam was a big hitter. But I've played with others who I thiught were equally as long. Granted there was more wind at prince's

But today was the first time I saw silly distances.

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Just a 9 hole practice, dropped 2 balls and played both as had the place to myself.

Worst ball 5 over, best ball 3 over gross.

That must have been the one we found

Found some extra distance with your new higher ball flight ?

Hey mate are you accepting my H4H challenge

If it’s a KFC bucket challenge then he will be all over that

Friday, swinging like I could play the game, 2 over for 14 holes before dark stopped play.

Saturday, went to BD, didn't lose a ball somehow, 2nd hole tee shot into trees/rough, chip out hit tree back in rough, chip out hit tree into a ditch, tried to chip out of ditch still in ditch, big squirrel throw did the job, and so the round went on, gave up scoring for the round. Highlight was the wife had said she wanted to get fitter, so son/I 'raced' her round the front 9 in 1hr 20 minutes, she was ready to drop

Sunday, played better, driving pants but chipping and 4 iron out of trees was working a treat, finished on 18th with three rubbish shots and then a cheeky chip in for par, golfing life was all good again

 

[rudebhoy]

Haven't used my driver for weeks as it was letting me down badly. Have been hitting my irons really well, so that has been my fallback, and my scoring has improved

Decided today I really needed to give the driver another go.

Result - driver was great, used it on 14 out of 18 holes, and other than two minor slices, hit it long and straight every time.

However - irons were absolutely awful, the worst I have hit them in months! What a frustrating game

A friendly Pairs Match Play game today with the Captain against the Vice Captain. It was actually practice for our Spanish Federation League game in a few weeks.


Played my 8th best game ever with a gross score of 85. (best 81) that included two scores of eight. I started so well so I putted out on all greens, as the guys behind us were never in range. Hit 11 greens in regulation, but can you believe that I never had a birdie, just not falling at the moment, plus a few were a good 2 putt. Missed a 3 foot putt on the 9th for a first ever 39.


We won 4&3 with my partner playing his part, and no doubt we will be kept together for our Federation game.


H/c 14.5 (up since Friday’s medal)

3 rounds last 3 days. Sat, the Torrance at St. Andrews Fairmont. Sun, Kingsbarns and today back to Bootle.

Played bad Saturday. Good Sunday. Good front 9 today. Back 9 had the shanks, 2 pts in 7 holes! Then 7pts on 17/18.

Had 26 Stableford pts every day 🤷‍♂️
