Jesus you flew right over the A20 that's a big left 😂

Totally agree that's why I think my prefer stretch is 2-8, the back 9 let's it down a touch. Used to like the closing holes on the old hurricane course was a beast of a finish off the medal tees playing the old 16th, 17th and 18th.

I'm from Medway originally so back down to visit family next week. Played a lot of golf years back around the whole of Kent in the leagues. Before we moved up here though was working in Canterbury.
If ever your back and and fancy a knock I'm free quite often during the day (work shifts).

Happy to head around medway or can have a knock at my place. Did you ever play Broome Park whiskt Canterbury based?

What a weird game we play!
I managed to shoot a stupid +25 gross ............................................ with six pars!
That means I was +25 for the twelve I didn't par. I even had a couple of snowmen, not had one of those for a while.
I also missed three short birdie putts.
The Guiness after was good. (y)

Sounds good to me mate ill drop you a PM when I'm headed down.

Never played Broome Park as wasn't playing golf last 10 years. But I do remember playing with an old boy that was part of the PGA from there when I was a kid his son was our club pro and his grandson was one of my junior team mates. So always had a connection to want to play there.

Ping 4BBB today, we were going pretty well after 12 but a couple of poor holes didn't do us any good. Not much chance of qualifying for the finals even if we had kept it going, last year we had 45 points and didnt get a look in.

4 lost balls off the first, all low pull hooks into the trees o_O, then played the rest of the front nine in 1 under. What a great game golf is. Hope the drive off the 1st is better on the weekend texas event but don't think we would be using my drive on the 1st if its the same whatever!!

Played the Roll up this morning. I have been trying not to play on a friday if i have a big comp on the Saturday (club champs) but after hitting balls last night and having a couple of
Orikoru's i decided to after all as i was hitting it so badly

hit it pretty well apart from a couple of duffs that i still got up and down after. 4 birdies 3 over gross.... 95 tomorrow then:LOL:

I would have bitten your hand off for a 95 in our Club Champs qualifier last week, NR was best I could do.

Striking the ball pure, just not in the correct direction. Lots of time spent in heather and gorse :mad:

Never played it in easier conditions off the blue tees either to make things even worse....

Try again this week i guess.

played Hever Castle in a corporate day and shot 85 for 38 points and walked away with individual prize, NTP and the team prize. Almost had longest drive too.
Driving was good and so was my pitching. greens were slow and i left a lot of putts short otherwise i'd have scored better.
I'm sure my irons knew it was probably their penultimate outing as they were on their best behaviour!

Quick round the back 9 in glorious sunshine after work.

Definitely in love with the new Driver so far 6/7 fairways and the missed one was only just off the fairway. Longest club I hit to a par 4 approach was a PW. 8/9 GIR only one I missed was I airmailed the green at par 5 15th. Shot a nice solid level par with 1 birdie, 1 bogey and 7 pars..

All this bodes well for peaking to soon ready to capitulate in tomorrow's club match and Sundays comp 😂

The only thing today I found odd was I got let through in 14th tee by a 3 ball, as I teed up on 18th that same group were just putting out in the 15th hole...

Exactly the reason why I don't like modern driver distances.

Exactly why I love the new one anything that helps lower scores.. Still plenty of other places to hit long irons off tees for position, par 5s and par 3s.

I get your point but there is room in the game for long hitting and working the ball as and when both situations require it.
