That’s rough, we’ve all been there, it’s like it’s a bad dream happening to someone else. On the plus side you shot 90 with an 11 on the card so it can’t have been all bad. Chin up! The next round could be awesome 😎

Also played Princes open. Played very solid both rounds but somehow shot 82 AM, PM it came together nicely and a nice level par 72 popped up. To be honest it wasn’t the absolute worst I could have shot.
Should get me a little cut for the day too ðŸ˜
Princes is exceptional by the way. Loved it

Huge banter in the 19th with the weekend roll up guys, and yes the food was top notch. Granted I didn't enjoy the golf too much but it was still a day out in the fresh air and there were some good shots in there (just not many) so any time you can go out and play is a good day. Back to work today and a few in ICU I'd suggest would have rather been out playing a slow round with three women!

First round of the Singles KO yesterday morning and won 3&2. Wasn't exactly a display of brilliant golf on the front-nine and I trailed 1dn after 9 but pulled it back with 4 straight pars to start the back. Made a nice sand save on 13 and then a lovely up and down on 16 to secure the match, also made probably the best 5 of my life on 15 to win that hole. Was in a world of trouble in the trees left for 2, punched it through and got the ball to the edge of the green for 3, he was on the green for 3. He then made an absolute mess of his first putt leaving himself an incredibly awkward 2nd which he missed giving me a chance for the hole, which I made. The joys of Matchplay, always nice to win a hole out of nowhere.

I played my first full round since September on Sunday, had a knock around West Hill for the Adidas product testing last Thursday but Sunday was my first full round of golf.
Played at Oxford GC and the course was in great condition and the greens were superb, I can’t praise them highly enough. If you have never played it, it’s well worth a visit!
I had a decent front 9 but the back 9 was a bit ropey, good for a start though.
Delighted to say my elbow injury has caused me no problems after 30 holes of golf and a couple of range sessions in a week.

We had an interclub knockout yesterday at home to Haydock Park, I was giving 2 shots in my match and thing didn't bode well when she holed a 8 footer to win the 1st and then drove a good 20 yards past my decent drive on the 2nd, she won her first shot hole and after three halves with pars I messed up 7 and 8 to go 4 down, I pulled couple back and then she went off the boil but I couldn't capitalise (we halved a couple of holes with double bogies) and I lost on the 17th. Very disappointing, even more so as the team lost too. Rather a bad day.

Played in the Mixed Open at Moortown.
The day of what could of been, 10 GIR + 6 NGIR + 2 holes within 30 yards IR + one zillion putts = a rubbish score.
Cant think of a time when I have hit the ball so well and putted so poorly and scored so pants. Gave up really before the back nine and wife had a strop about me not caring about the putting
Ticked off another top 100 Course for £45 including dinner.....
Not so great - Greens not great and bumpy due to greens work a number of weeks ago apparently, a number of ditchs at driving distance(sorry don't like ditchs on a golf course in fairways), quite a number of tees close to greens or on line of a tee shot, a couple of fairways were you could get hit from wayward drives from other holes
Great - Company on the day, The length of the course was perfect distance for me. Loved the clubhouse and view from it, chicken curry good, feeling of space on some holes really great, bunkers around the green and off the tee were brilliantly placed, the lockers in the changing room were cool
Left wondering what was the infant school seating about in the mens changing rooms

Really???? Sounds like the course isn't worth a top 100 placing. But the food and the clubhouse is?????

Played in a mixed singles stableford yesterday at my place. I was on fire for the front nine. Then the two ball in front got even slower (we were a three ball, a four ball following us disappeared after 5 holes as they'd already realised these two clown were going to hold everyone up). I even had to have a word with them on the 12th to ask to play through when next convenient. Although we didn't as a buggie was pushing us so we let them though to try and push them along. They didn't, and gave up after three hols cutting across the course missing out 15 + 16 to avoid the two snails.
Anyhoo, this messed up my head and I came back with only 8 points. Ahh well.

Been playing very well of late. Just not quite putting a score together for 18 holes, but a combination of new Driver (Old Tom) being a revelation and good lessons on chipping and putting earlier in the year have helped me immensely.
Yesterday, tired and hungover, I stood on the 9th tee +3 for my round (having made 2 birdies and with 2 3 putts). Obviously things didn't go great after that I definitely felt the pressure of knowing I was probably going to break 40 for 9 holes. Ended up losing two balls and not finishing the hole.
For context my official handicap is 22 and my only 2 counting rounds this year have been 101 (medal, with the old driver) and an 89 (supplementary off the yellows) at a par 70.
Hope to get a few medal rounds in over the next few weeks, and at least one supplementary, to hopefully get into the teens.

The bunker placement is brilliant and makes the course a real test. For the above average hitting person there are quite a lot of birdie chances if you are playing well. Not that many really memorable holes imho but a good challenge.
Hopefully the greens should have fully recovered by the time you play if its a few weeks away? Plenty of slopes on the greens.
The par 5 7th was my favourite hole of the day, reachable in two if you can get your drive between the bunkers, then it sweeps left to the green which is surround by bunkers. Par 3 10th was a cracking par 3, done well if you get a par on there, danger everywhere.
You will enjoy the course, have a great day.

Moortown is an incredible course. Greens are usually fantastic but we all forget it’s first week of May so some place are still recovering.

I'm sure it is, and I realise it's early in the season, but ours are great so a top 100 course should be great too don't you think? It's not been a bad winter either. Bumpy greens??? Really????

no, I completely disagree. The OP even said ‘work was done a few weeks ago’. So they are bumpy for that reason. Every course does work at different times of the year... they’ll be great in October when yours get ropey etc

Played yesterday with Twire at his course East Devon,if there were two worst golfers on the course all day I’d be surprised.
Playing there in a club match early June so needed a refresher.
Lots of changes to the course as the heather and bushes in some areas has been removed completely and to be honest I didn’t like that at all,I’m sure in years to come it will grow back.
Great views and good company as always.
If your in the area Twire is a great host

I played at West Lancashire in the Lancs Senior ladies championship this morning, it was pretty wet to start with although it did ease off a bit, I started poorly with 4 double bogeys in the first 6 holes, 3 due to poor putting including missing a 6 inch tap in. Then I picked up, and played the last 12 holes in 5 over so a very mixed round.
