Last year I was +6 for the round playing off 17 .................................... it can be done.
Not got anywhere near it since.
Odd round today. Dreadful first 3 holes, totally out of sorts. Scraped a point on each one and had a back to basics moment. Solid for the next few, 16 points at the turn. Huge improvement from then, struck the ball cleanly, straight off the tee. 21 points for the back 9, 37 overall.
What looked like a car crash at one stage ended up being a really enjoyable round.

There’s a difference between being over 10 under handicap through 14 and me being 2 over...

It’s Matchplay - so the only score that counts is the Matchplay score , it’s not uncommon for people of mid to high HC to be scoring well in Matchplay where a number of times they get given putts they more than likely miss in a Stableford etc - it’s certainly not a “disgrace†. Last week we played a 12 HC who was 2 over after 15 holes - it happens
Stupid conditions led to a stupid score.
Crazy winds, branches and debris falling and blowing across the fairways and greens all day, never hit so many clean strikes only to see the ball then suddenly either drop like a stone or sail away on the wind.
Short putts were very difficult, being punched by the wind so it was hard to steady yourself, had to be a record amount of 3 putts for me, usually a strong part of my game.
Miserable 27 points with 3 NR’s and 1 ball somewhere in the bluebells and another in the river.
Can’t believe I was in shorts last week but with winter layers and MacWets on today.

After yesterday's 1 over handicap 35 points I took almost the same set out again today, McGhie "Tiger Tee".
Admittedly there was a stiff wind blowing but I could only manage to score a miserable 22 points.

Carnage. 27 points but felt bar a couple of poor holes I felt I hit it better than the score shows. The wind was even affecting putts and I had one that was a ball left of the hole from 12 feet and the wind was left to right and it missed the hole 6 inches right (and no it wasn't my stroke - I started it on line) and ran three feet away. Lost a ball on the par 3 eleventh. Nailed a tee shot and heading towards the left of the green and a gust took it miles left into the knee high crap. Some good stuff though especially the linear short game. Club match away to Caversham Heath tomorrow. Hoping the winds die as it's about 6,800 off the whites

Played a greensomes today( not a format I enjoy that much) started with a horrible 9, ended up d/q for playing wrong ball and not rectifying it.
Got back to clubhouse to learn that Spurs had lost, not the best of days.

Played this morning, first time in a month. Shot 78 gross net 61. Played well a few silly mistakes but putting that down to havjbg not played in a while, two doubles and two birdies. Depending on CSS I'll get at least a 0.9 cut possibly 1.2 either way I'll be off 16 next time out.
Didn’t play but went to the range to kill some time while the dog was having a hair cut.
Deliberately tried to keep the take away slower and smoother to stop wasting any energy and then really attack on the downswing.
It was far more consistent and I was hitting the ball further.
No doubt it’ll all turn to shite on the course

Club match vs Caversham Heath. Played well in patches but had some horror bounces and luck and got frustrated. That led to some poor swings and never really got into the back nine to support my partner and we got done 4&3 and the club struggling at 5-1 down. Need to reverse that score to retain the trophy. Aside from the golf and score the guys there are top class and always quality banter on and off the course.

Four of us on 40 points and a 3rd place and a cut to 5.9
One under handicap again today so maybe a .2 cut coming,hope so really close now to cat 1
That’s my 4th cut this year and only 9 rounds played.

Friendly knock round Bushey Hall today. I was shattered at the beginning since I played 90 mins of Sunday League footy, basically had something to eat, got changed and straight back out again. Consequently I started blob, par, blob, par, but managed to gain some consistency and finished on 39 points. Three blobs total, but 8 pars which is right up there for me. Hit the ball pretty nicely all day, the third blob was a total disaster as well but **** happens! Was really happy with the golf generally, and good banter on the way round as well. Thought it was going to rain but it never did, so a great afternoon.

Practice round at dunfanaghy today. A links 1 hour into donegal that I had never played before.
Not in the same league as the big boys in the area. Very much an out and back course with OOB always down the right. With little rough I didn't have much problem keeping it in play and hitting a wood or hybrid up to the green. Downwind it was driver short iron.
Got up and down all day and shot 72 , +4.
That score should see me picked for the team down there next week. Work to be done on irons as they are still embarrassing at best.
