Played in my 1st seniors even today at my old course.

Have not played much recently due to family illness and had to cancel at the weekend with a dodgy back but got it round today in level par. Fairly scrappy +1 front 9, better striking for -1 on back 9.

Was off yellows but pleasing from a confidence point of view as this is sadly lacking at present.

You shouldn’t be lacking confidence going round in level par, that’s great shooting 👍🏻

Cheers, spent the last 18 months playing golf swing and getting out of the habit of making a score.

+5 in the monthly medal. Good enough for a little cut.

Wasnt easy out there. Cold and windy. Didn't hole much all day. Couldn't buy a birdie.

Well played Gary, you seem to be on a run of good form at the moment!

Things are trending the right way. Feel very happy with driver and even a cut 3 wood off the deck. Wasnt anywhere near as consistent as this in times gone by.

Still have a long way to go with my ball striking so room to improve.

Level par with no confidence round an amazingly tough track 👏👏👏

Well I look forward to you breaking the course record once you find your confidence 😉

Just had the results and I came 10th in the gross competition, which I am very pleased with considering there were over 30 single figure handicappers playing, just a shame I am not able to play in the knockout stages due to having to run another county competition on Friday.

3rd over all. Lowest gross, 0.4 cut and 2nd category win in a row in the monthly medals. I'll take it. just keep nipping away at the handicap.

Qualified twice now for the big end of year medal Comp that I have never once played in. typical. Lol

The fist four holes were okay.
It then hosed down for 15 minutes, then stopped, then started, then stopped.
I can't cope with that.
Brolly up, brolly down, grips wet, the rough was lush and I only had a waterproof jacket on.
This merely guided all the rain water onto my legs ........................ nice.
It also made me sweat like a pig. That was a lose, lose situation.
On a plus note, my Adidas Pro360 XT spikeless shoes were awesome and kept my feet dry and toasty.
Oh, lost plenty of balls as I couldn't be arsed to look for them!

Well another sluggish start for me in our medal, well I hit the ball ok, but a couple of loose shots that were costly and a lack of concentration meant I played our 3rd, 4th, and 5th in 7 over! I played the other 15 holes in 8 over which was fine.
I have been having bad starts this last few rounds which is annoying as a couple of weeks ago I started with 5 straight pars and then went off the boil, not quite sure what my problem is!!

 

[patricks148]

first Greensomes tie last night, my pp played the worst i have ever seen him play, got us into all sorts of trouble from the middle of the fairway.

we were 4 up with 4 to play still, but they were getting shots in the last 4 and he missed a couple of short putts to take us down the last one up. was an easterly so couldn't get home it two on 18, luckily he hit it so badly it missed all the trouble and end up in the left hand rough 120 yards out. they were just short of the green, which i stuck to 10 feet. our oppo then semi shermaned his chip right edge of the green, then then duffed the next, they had 20 footer for par, we were putting for birdie, they missed and Dave lagged it to the hole, so 1up.

great couple of guys and the game was played in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Only 32 points in comp. today so looks like I might go up .1 will have a look at results tonight.

 

[Imurg]

Barring the miracle of everyone else playing crap as well, it's a 0.1 for me.
Abject, pitiful, I could probably think of more ways to describe it.
Just couldn't score.
Didn't lose a ball, didn't have to search...just one of those days.
CVG was worse.
I managed 26 points, CVG scraped 22.
In 36 holes between us, we had 23 1 point holes and just one blob - CVG at the last when he'd lost the will to live.
Not sure I've ever played 12 over handicap without a blob......
Was leader in the clubhouse when we left

A long day for me today, it was a lancs ladies event at Oldham golf club and before I tee'd off at 11.40 I had been at the club for 4 hours booking people in and setting up the competition.
I played well, except for the par 3s, there were 6 of them and I played them in 9 over, I didn't know the course and 3 of them were quite steeply uphill and I just didn't know which club to take.
Sadly the result was a 0.1 increase and I am back up to 11 yet again. I just cannot push through the 10 barrier!

Entered the Stableford comp they randomly threw on in place of something else that was moved. As usual for a comp day, abject rubbish from me. Putted like a complete moron on the front nine - much improved on the back nine. But had my customary 'shank hole' on the 11th. Par threes were all awful which is weird as they are often my better holes. 31 points in the end (14&17). Just the two pars all day.

Oh well, at least I'm playing again tomorrow. Friendly match against Thorney at their place, 4BBB. Should be fun. I'll probably play great since it doesn't affect my handicap, and that's the only time I play well.

That's just typical of golf I only had 32 points in comp yesterday then went out after tea for 9 holes and got 5 pars including a hole I get 2 shots on.

Great win for us , what a match that was 😁
