Oh, when you apply online you choose either the 1st or the 10th, the tee time and date, we picked and started from the 1st

Thats not bad then. always played from the first with a member, but a couple of times we went with the SGU the starter made us go off the 10th he said just in case a member wants to play, both of those times we were the only people there all day

Used to go to Gullane a couple of times each year and one of our "rituals" was to stand on the 7th tee of No1 and look across to Muirfield.

Occasionally we would see a couple of players on the course at which point one of us would inevitably say "Busy at Muirfield today."

A member of our Club who was an official of EGU and an R&A ref called in "on spec" and asked if there was any chance of a game for he and his friend only to be told, very graciously, that unfortunately they were rather busy that day.

There was one car on the car park and no players in view.

Second place on 7 over par, net 1 over. Wind started to rise mid front 9, and was a 3 club wind by the time we finished. Went to the turn 1 over, inc losing a ball. Back 9 saw a few raggy holes, dropping 6 shots inc 2 lost balls.

B-team today, won 3-1, my partner came in on 2 of the par 3’s at a critical time, otherwise I played 5 under handicap, and even though I sprayed a couple off the tee, I’m recovering & scrambling great and getting up & down so often it’s embarrassing 😳

Played twice this week

Monday old fold manor 37 points off 26. Started par par was delighted

Today a little course near me called cranham. It’s not overly difficult. 38 points .. even better was doing it in 2 hours 45 mins so I could clean all my gear before my daughter needed picking up lol

On a mini golf tour in Dorset with two mates. Yesterday, day 1, we played Bulbury Woods ... lovely course ... and we had it to ourselves. Got 37 points, which was good too.

Went out for 10 holes this morning in glorious weather, no expectations after just finishing 23 night shifts and I played excellent stuff, ended up 6 over, driving was poor distance wise but was on the fairway.
Had a wee card in my pocket, which had practice swing, line up, commit (don’t sway) and fully finish, I think it made a difference mentally to me as the 6” between my ears is my biggest problem.

Had a couple of hours free so played just 12 holes.

Everything putted out and strict Rules of Golf, I kept score using the dreaded Stableford method and accrued 29 points.

I think I said once before that it is a pleasant surprise to occasionally discover that I can still just about play this bloody frustrating game.

Isn't it annoying though when you realise it was going well and don't have a chance to play all 18 and see what you'd have shot

Perhaps if I was younger and still bothered about improving.

Now, at 70, and having kicked comps and handicaps into touch I take my pleasure from golf in the form of enjoying being "out there".

Very rarely play 18 these days and even less frequently bother to keep a score. Only did today on an impulse.

One birdie, three pars and eight bogeys; that will do for me!

 

[Imurg]

It's still a stupid game.........waste of time getting out of bed..
Putting woeful
Everything else not much better

 

[williamalex1]

Delighted with 19 points in our 9 hole stableford today, despite going in 3 bunkers on the same hole, currently lying second and hopefully a small cut .
Update, finished 4th cut .3 back to 16.6, slight signs of improvement

Day 2 of our Dorset mini tour ... played Wareham. Nice course, rather hilly and not helped by a strong wind ... but that doesn’t explain my drop from 37 points yesterday to 21 today. 😕

 

[Tashyboy]

Was woeful, my driving was atrocious. My timing was that bad I missed a "fist pump" with a PP who dropped a birdie putt and ended up giving him a provisional " fist pump". Not a happy bunny with my game at the mo.

Final of the County Seniors scratch winter competition and 2-1 up from the first leg and finished the job off today with a 2.5 to .5 home leg win to take the trophy .

First time for our club in 11 years

Throughout the whole campaign my partner and I only lost one match so pretty chuffed to be the top pairing with our best result winning 7&5 in the away leg of the final

 

[Scozzy]

1st rnd of summer 4bbb,off to a tidy start with a few pars then my partner holed a monster on 6th where they were stroking to break their hearts.Tight match from then,made a great up and down on 14 to steal a half and keep our nose in front.Went down 18 and we prevailed.Goid match,good company but they all of a sudden got the grumps and wouldn't come in for a pint!?! Disappointing form really from them I thought but hey ho

I went out today with a set of clubs I've not used for decades.
A set of Ping Eye 2s, including the woods, and an old Ping Anser putter.
A few good shots but it was mostly awful, including the putter.
I just couldn't work out how high to tee the ball for the driver, it became almost laughable.
Hey ho, back in the loft for that lot!

Boooo!

Try teeing it so that the centre of the ball is level with, or just below, the top of the grounded driver, and don't have the ball as far forward in your stance as you do with a modern driver.

Played in our 2nd medal yesterday afternoon, dodging thunder and rain, holed a couple of putts early on to save bogies and then played 5-9 in one under to finish ahead of my handicap after nine. Then it fell apart, I lost my normally reliable drive and slipped up around the greens a few times, 4 over for the front nine was followed by 10 over on the back.
Happily CSS went up so no 0.1

As an aside comment, our best player a 5 handicapper who has only played once this season after hardly playing during the winter due to back problems, shot a 2 over gross 74. Some people make it look so easy!
