Played in a team match yesterday, I hit the ball well but was very wasteful around the greens missing a lot of chances to win holes, lost on the 16th and sadly the team lost too, probably lose our top spot in the league now.

Played the ridge while my car was having a tow bar fitted in Maidstone.

First proper course the new bats have seen so wasn’t taking it too seriously but picked up 32 points.
Hit some great tee shots with the 4 iron

My driving is crap but the rest of the game was ok.

First the time ever I used a pro v1, that I’d found and really liked it.

Only 1 more weekend (due to holiday) to practice before the old farts meet but so far things are looking good

It’s looking good.
Greens were best I’ve seen them and were a decent pace.
They were scarifying the fairways so they were scruffy but perfectly playable.

Played in a Charity Golf Day last Friday at Luffenham Heath. This was the first time that I had played what is regarded as the best course in the county and it has a number of interesting holes. Unfortunately, the greens were just incredibly slow. I was leaving 20 ft putts 8ft short and it was a struggle to get into the mindset of hitting rather than stroking putts. My team scored 79 points, with none of us playing that great and were surprised that the winning score was just 85.

On Saturday had only my second qualifier of the year and started to refind my form having played poorly throughout May. 1 point on three holes in the middle of the front none ruined any chance of a competitive score, but came home with 35 points having lost three balls during the round.

Yesterday evening played the second round of our seniors knockout receiving 9 shots. I played well and was five up after six holes. Halved the next four, before losing 11 & 12, but then parred both 13 and 14 to win the match 5&4. Driving and putting are good at the moment, just need to sort out the irons and I could get a low score soon.

Jacked any plans in as the rain came in. Probably a good idea to have a break from playing or practising most days.

Just got back from Littlestone. Played by Titleist matchplay against @mashleyR7. He was -1 gross at the turn. Needless to say the match didn’t make it down the 18th!

I managed a birdie though so happy enough. Can’t complain when someone hits a pb to beat ya. And beat me he did!
Still love links golf, even if I can’t play it!

Rough has gone mental in the last couple of weeks, esp down the 18th where the smart play was in the rough..... but not anymore

Our greenkeeper has let the rough grow a fair bit longer this year. Plenty of guys getting caught out thinking they can get full purchase on the ball.

Played in a county foursomes regional final yesterday, I was also running the competition and so had to spend 5 hours on the desk before going out to play, not ideal. I pulled my opening drive out of bounds and things didn't really improve, fortunately for me my partner wasn't on her game either and we both hit some poor shots and some of our putting was poor, a 4 putt on one hole after being on the green on regulation being the worst.

A bit of a bad day at the office!

We have a lot of heavy rough which are real no go areas now which seemed to have sprung up very quickly. Even the semi-rough is now penal and the ball sits down in it. It's definitely catching some of the wilder hitters out

Stableford comp today, I wasn't feeling great as I have a sore neck and shoulder, I didn't start great, 3 double bogeys in the first 4 holes although I had a par as well but just 4 points. I was playing in a 3 ball and not in a good place and said I think I will go in, not something I have done but I felt like my attitude would put the other two off. They persuaded me to keep going to the 9th and I did buck up and score 12 points on the next 5 holes. So I continued and scored 17 on the back 9 for 33 points.
Sadly I wasted a lot of shots around the green, I rarely got up and down in 2 and I had 4 good birdie chances, 2 of which lipped out and a 3rd looked in inly to turn off an inch from the hole.

Played last night, 3 eagle chances and walked off with 2 pars and a birdie.

Playing a course with ridiculously slow greens and another with quite pacey greens I’m using as an excuse but still by holes 13 & 14 id expect to be at least lagging within 3 foot and taking the birdie.

Played the 9 hole comp last night. Have been playing terrible recently with no set swing, changing every shot and absolutely no confidence but had been scoring alright because my short game was good, normally finishing 1 or 2 shots outside of buffer at worse. Went to the range on Wednesday and found a swing from somewhere but hadnt tried it on the course.

Lost a ball off the first tee with a slight pull left into a bush and then should have got up and down to save a point but missed a short 4 footer which was really the story of the night. Hit the ball well but 3 blobs killed off any chances of buffer.

Finished on 16 points which I was quite pleased with as I hit the ball well but short game was dreadful, one day it will come together. Highlight being on our 8th Par 4, 450 yards straight into a 20 mph wind, Hit Driver and 3 hybrid into greenside bunker to walk away with a 6 because of two fat chips.

It should be an easy cut as playing off 10 I am getting 6 shots over the 9 holes playing off the green markers!

played this morning, hit it pretty well with my irons, driving was a bit hit and miss on the 2nd and 5th on the beach both times, but manged to up and down both times for par.

Hickory is great for your iron tempo thats for sure
