I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

Strange round in medal today. Had a snowman, two sevens on par fours, and two doubles. 14 shots dropped in five holes. Played other thirteen in two over.

Might just sneak into buffer, and another two to add a few bob to my pro shop account.

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:ROFLMAO:

Missed the division win by a point:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Was 3 over through 10 ended up 10 over through 18. Frustrating 11,12,13 and 14 (aproach irons became suddenly poor) before getting it back on track. Son shot a 50/42 for a 92 at +21 off 27. He was chuffed
 
1st round of the summer knockout, two up at the turn despite not playing great, then lost four of the next five and couldn’t claw it back.
 
We played a Golf Scotland Texas Scramble at Downfield today, the course was excellent as was the company, CABBY included :love:. A long course of the whites par 73
Leaders in the clubhouse net 65.5 when we left :love:, but sadly:eek::p we were only the 2nd game out :LOL:. RIP Cabby gone but not forgotten.:devilish::ROFLMAO:
 
Medal comp today, playing The Haig Laminates, Dunlop Maxfli Australian Blade 2 to PW, Halley SW and Ben Sayers Parex putter.

Never had a round of such extremes.
2 birdies, 6 pars, 6 doubles, a triple and 2 quads, and just the 1 bogey.
94 nett 82 and up to 12.5, Cat 3. I did have a two though to soften the blow.

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.

Well I was not wrong. Played a blinder in the pairs comp. My partner was a 7 handicapper, and we smashed our opponents (pair of old-timers who I think were 14 and 16) 6 & 5! Keeping track of my own score, I went around in about 84, or 42 points. Overall we won the match 4-2, and it was a great day I really enjoyed. Even got some sunburn as well.. cracking weather!
 
Just totted up the putts in my awful round of 94, there were 24. o_O

Only counting putts made from the actual green I had 11 single putts and a zero putt, a LOT of putts from the fringe.
 
An open at Blackburn for me, course is super condition, I started birdie, par, then double bogey, triple bogey! followed by 3 pars. Strange round, holed 4 or 5 putts of over 10 feet but missed 3 or 4 for inside 5 feet!
 
Played at Tecina on La Gomera (Canary Islands). Glorrrrrrrrrrious weather - unbroken sunshine and a mere 25 degrees.

Got paired up with three other guys as course was busy. Played really well with hired clubs. Just two poor shots into shrubbery, and a wild one into a ravine stopped it being a really good score. As it was, very pleased with 35 points.
 
Played with Crow at Beau guest day, safe to say we didn't bring our A, B , C , D or even the U for unmarked game;)

We proceeded to serve up more shots than a tequila bar serves on a Saturday night:eek:

Shock of the day was when Crow said I was playing with older clubs than his.

PS Crow you will be glad to hear I didn't play any better in the evening 18 holes of golf.

Great day out. Cheers

Thanks for the invite Darren, thoroughly enjoyed the day even if our play was the cause of more laughs than admiration. If we play again I'll go much further back in time with club selection.

I'm not surprised that the morning's play didn't inspire you to greater things in the afternoon.
I had a similar tale in the medal comp on Sunday, 94 gross, net 82 :eek:
 
There was a league game at my course yesterday (two actually, because oddly the men's and women's league both happened to be scheduled on the same day, something that had not happened before) and I went to watch some of the best players of my club play. The course was reserved until 3.30 pm for the comp, and I took the chance to hop on and play the back 9 directly after that. Since everyone else started off the first, I had the back nine completely to myself. Like really not a soul in sight. I played abysmally bad, because my lower back hurts at the moment and I really cannot turn, but being able to basically run around the course as fast as I wanted to made up for it. Took me exactly one hour to play the back nine.
 
Going through a familiar pattern of hitting it well on the practice ground and achieving the shot and changes I'm working on and as soon as I go onto the course I look like an abject beginner. Confidence through the ground and getting totally frustrated. Another nine holes of misery yesterday afternoon
 
Glorious day at the Zoo today.
Blew the first by blasting one over to the wallabies, they didn't seem too impressed.
Up and down front after that but came away with 15 points from the 8 holes.
Then I remembered how to play....
20 points on the back saw me home in 35 - could have done with that last Friday!!
Had genuine birdie putts at the last 4 holes and only sunk one of them so, with a little luck, it could have been better.
