[Imurg]

We were joined by a strange bloke today - looked very familiar and quite a lot like a guy we used to play with....
It was Fragger!!!!!!
Lots of banter, lots of really poor golf....
I had so many 1 point holes, then started getting better but then completely collapsed. 2 points in the last 4 holes - I just couldn't hit a shot, nothing......all over the place...
Hit about 2 decent shots all day.
I'm blaming the cold that Mrs Imurg gave me - timing was way off and I had about 3 hours sleep last night.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
The good news is that Fragger' was even worse !!
He's back for more next Friday too.

Shot 93 at Wellow. Played well but made a mess of a couple of par 3's.

Normal service then and feeling like crap too. It really is getting too easy. Come on Frag, get a grip!

Had a qualifier today. Took a guest with me who is on holiday and had to help him around the course. Ended up with 31 points and 6th place (4 players on 35 points) in very windy conditions.
Had to take 4 penalty shots, 2 water, 2 plants, so I shouldn't be to upset. My lag putting was as good as I have ever played, on greens that Miguel Angel Jimenez once said that would be difficult for
professionals to putt on. 9 holes with putts less than 15 inches.

Which course?

Played with my son today at our new course, we have moved from a 9 hole shorter course to a full 18 hole course. 3rd full round for him, he is 12 plays off 27, I play off 10. I gave him 1 shot per hole so it was match play but with full scoring. His 1st 2 rounds previously were 101 and I was low 80's.

Today he shot his first under 100 with a 93, he was 4 up with 4 play, i won the next 2 but he stuffed me on the 17th and beat me on the 18th as well. One really happy boy, he has made some big strides recently, change of head movement / weight is really paying off. I think I enjoyed watching him more than I did actually playing. I shot an 87 just couldn't get it going. Still superb being out at 7am on a sunny morning, course quiet, we got round in 3 hours, he twisted my arm as he played so well and I bought him a new scooter on the way home

Lovely stuff, he will be giving you shots in no time😁

first comp on the 3 new greens today, strong S/E which doesn't help except on one hole.

73 gross (CSS 73 at the moment ) leading in the CH, should be a nice cut, left a couple out there two

Wanted to play 18 holes today. When I came down the 8th it started snowing. Like, really? And I am not talking a few flakes. About ten minutes later the fairways and greens were white. It was wet, it was cold, putting became impossible and I did not bring any colored golf balls (because, yeah, the forecast said it would be cold, but snow? Come on! It's the middle of April. Last year we had 25 °C and were already in the middle of a drought at this time of the year). I played down the 9th, but then gave up. Pretty much everyone else on the course did the same, the clubhouse was packed and the barkeeper had a really hard time delivering the coffees fast enough. The snow stopped relatively quickly afterwards, but since I was feeling cold wet and miserable, I really wasn't inclined to go out there again. Guess I will just watch some decent golf on the telly (or rather my PC) instead.

First qualifier off single figures, useless, absolutely crashed and burned.

But (and it’s not an excuse) we were held up by the 6 Coppers chasing a bloke on the course and the Police Helicopter flying low.

 

[Lump]

Gross 75. Should have been better but I’m an arse and hit a couple of shocking drives out of nowhere.
Still should be a little cut.

Lost my summer knockout match 4&3. Didn't swing it as well as I have, certainly in practice this week, but the other guy was 2 or 3 under handicap and rolled in a very rude 30 foot putt on the 15th for birdie to kill it off. I kept going 2 down, get it back to 1 and then he'd sneak another. A lost ball on the 13th opened the gap to 4 and although I won the next that birdie putt was too good. Try again in the roll up

Were they after a bandit?

Boom Boom, certainly were😂

Blowing an absolute gale out there today. Everyone agreed it was the hardest wind they at played in at our home club.

Pairs qualifying round. Betterball. Just the 36 points but that was the best we were going to score. Battled and fought as best we could. We will see if it is good enough to get through to the knock outs.

36 holes on the Hotchkin today.

AM round a medal, 0.1 back as I was utter guff, hit some good and some really really bad shots. My tee shots on 10 and 12 were just so bad.

PM round hosting @Captainron and @Odvan and again we all played some real guff, Cameron hit some of the widest shots I have ever seen on the Hotchkin, I would have got a pic but my phone doesn’t zoom out that far 🤮🤮🤮 the 3rd shout into 9 that ended up in the bunker on 12 was just incredible.

He did redeem himself by making an eagle 5 pointer on 14.

Anyway final result was odvan having the buy the drinks for last place and also handing me £10 before his journey home for our singles match and I do look forward to our next meeting when his girlfriend lets him out for the day again.

 

[patricks148]

results in lowest gross and the handicap prize too, very surprised esp as there were quite a few low guys in it today at least 5 in plus fig.


most important thing....a cut

Medal yesterday, net 74 (css73), struggled off the tee so heavily I had to rely heavily on my scrambling and short game to keep the numbers low. 2 silly trebles in their which was down to poor concentration at the time but 7 solid regulation pars in the mix which was pleasing.

Roll up this morning, 41 points and came 2nd, much better off the tee finding 11 of the 14 fairways, only 1 double bogey otherwise solid scores throughout the card.

Both days right off the back stones and in cold windy conditions so very pleased overall.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Sunday roll up. 32 points. Played ok in places and some poor shots but a glass half full day
