Well, I was supposed to be showing Imurg around Whiteleaf, my new course. But there was a board comp on , so we decided to go to Chiltern Forest instead.

There was a society in front so knew it was going to be slow, it wasn’t too bad at 4 1/2 hours, but Imurg let it get to him a bit.

Front 9 saw me on 20 points with 2 blobs and him on 16

The back 9 saw me get 20 more points , whilst someone lost the plot and managed to scrape a further 11.

So he was well and truly trounced

Very pleased with the new powerbug trolley, Chiltern Forest is extremely hilly and it made a huge difference.

He wasn’t happy 😃

Grumpy. Very annoyed too. One of my PP's in the competition was chatting and saying he flew in from Malaga late last night. He wasn't playing great and on the 7th as I was about to play my second picked up his ball and declared he'd had enough and was going back to bed. My other PP and I said you can't do that, words were exchanged and he got in his buggy and drove off. I snap hooked my second OOB and didn't score, screwed the next as I was fuming. I had made a mess of the 6th (my own fault courtesy of a poor bunker shot) so three consecutive no scores. Still got it round in 32 points so I was pleased how I came back and once I got my head back on played well including 19 on the back nine

Are buggies allowed in comps at your place?

over to you Imurg

I hate the course, always have. Too many stupid holes
Birdied the first and was level par on the 6th tee. I'll have to take his word for my score coz I stopped keeping mine after 11 or 12.
Although we knew it was going to be slow it was ssllooww....it's a short course - only 5500 from the yellows
It simply shouldn't take 4 1/2 hours.
I lost the will to live by the 10th hole and lost a bit of concentration and interest. Also started to struggle with all the standing..the knees stiffen and then I'm shot.
Fragger' played well. Although getting a million shots helped.
I've decided I don't need to play there again

With medical certification. He does have a long term leg injury

Those knees never seem a problem when you have put Frag to the sword? I know what you mean about slow play and going to a 2 ball in the middle of a field of 3's today meant we were waiting on every shot not helped by the group in front being a hole behind. There are courses I don't like and so I get what you're saying, being on a course you don't enjoy, feel like its taking forever and having a chirpy brother in your ear is going to make it a toughie

 

[Imurg]

If we'd only been out for 3 1/2 the knees would have been fine.
Right ankle has swollen up too...
Sometimes I hate golf....

+7 Gross at Knott End in a 4BBB Mixed Open for a team score of 43 points. Best I've played for a while, putted superbly. Hopefully it'll be enough for a win, but doubt it.

Results are in, and it was a win! 2nd 4BBB Open the wife and I have won as a pair.

 

[louise_a]

Mixed 4BBB Dearden Trophy at Ellesmere, we both played well and gelled nicely, I was on the card 6 times on the first nine and 3 times on the back and vice versa, 22 points out and 22 back, enough to win the comp by 1 shot.

Hope you are not making excuses already🤣

Played Wilderness this morning and my positive view of the course may well be a reflection of my score...the best I've managed for a few years by about 5 strokes.

Then again it may be a reflection of bedding in of the recent GM lesson 🤔

One swallow doesn't make a summer - but things are definitely starting to look up again after then last few years.

Medal this morning, fog was horrendous so delay for an hr.

Hotchkin white tees, fully expected bad things to happen.

No major car crashes, played really well for me anyway, had a few bad shots, still ended up with 0.1 back.

Played with @Artyd and he only went a won with a very impressive gross 78 nett 66 giving him a lovely cut 👏👏

Played my 1st, 18 holes of golf since last week's operation. Hit the ball pretty decent amusing the Fleetwoodesque drill that Piers Ward gave me to do, and using a new PSR.

Was my first ever Bogey comp, made some miraculous par saves but overall finished 1dn to the course and got 0.1 back. But overall really happy considering where I was 7 days ago. Plus side being from the whole field I bagged the on 2 in the 2s pot.

 

[matt71]

1st proper comp this season and came 3rd with 40 points! Proper buzzing and a nice little handicap cut as well !

Gross 84 ( I play off 17) with a blob on our par 4 7th. Left a few out there and if I get my game just right I can see me breaking the magical 80 one day!

I was lucky enough to play Hillside last Monday after The British Masters. Just simply a great golf course and the back 9 simply stunning. The greens were just to die for, quick, true and holes cleanly cut that looked like buckets. We played off the final round tees and tricky pins, 7000+ yds didn’t drive the ball at all well couple of birdies, and 2-3 realistic birdie chances and shot 77. Well chuffed, and what a way to experience a tour standard set up as well. 👍🏻

 

[USER1999]

Played today. Clattered the pin twice. Dropped both times. Greens were awesome, ironed this morning. Lovely.

Well played! A win is always a good one. 😁

 

[backwoodsman]

After Saturday's decent performance, played like a fool in the Sunday roll up. 3 points aftsr 6 holes, and managed to scrape up to 24 by the end. Bizarrely, managed the same number of gross pars as l would in a normal decent round?
