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

Played Bude this afternoon on the way home. Only charged £18 as it was "nearly" after 3pm!

Course quiet. Nice and sunny but quite windy. I like Bude in holiday trips... not sure I'd play it every week though..

I know what you mean. I love the place and the welcome is always first class but not a course I'd want' to play all time especially in winter. A few "quirky" holes but overall a nice place to spend a few hours

As for me, 31 points in some heavy showers and as 33 won the roll up a little frustrating. Didn't play too well but had a cracking laugh in my fourball which is what golf should be about

Medal competition at our club yesterday. Although I am currently driving it well I have little confidence standing over iron shots as I catch the odd one off of the toe and it heads off at 45 degrees from where I am aiming. Was ok through the first six holes in net par, then hit the toe shot on my second on a par five after a good drive. That led to an 8 and similar happened on the back nine with a par 3 tee shot and the following par 4 leading to a 5 and a 9. Went from the ridiculous to the sublime with a 165 yard five iron out of the rough on the next to 1 foot for a birdie 3. Carded a 101 for a net 78, with the winning score just a net 69 (2 under).

Not good. Do you know what's causing these toe shots? Is it something you're working on to correct. Given those big numbers to finish only +7 (net) doesn't seem a bad effort considering

Captain's Day 4BBB today and we came second with 41 which finishes off a nice 8 days. 2nd in Board comp last Sunday, 3rd in England Golf seniors series at Wallasey on Tuesday and yesterday we came 3rd in the Texas Scramble. £93 to the good from home comps so will go nicely towards the two new SM7's I ordered today
Also played to new handicap today as well

Took one of our junior girls out this afternoon after a big local men's competition, It was good to see how much she had improved since the last time I took her out, still hitting to many duffs but was genuinely on one of our longer par 5s in 4 shots, shame she 4 putted though.

Went out this morning with my Dad and brother, course was absolutely immaculate, greens superb.
Old man won easy, shot nett 65 and didn’t start that great.
Me on the other hand was terrible, had a wee stretch in middle with 4 pars, as for the rest, sliced every drive, really getting to me now as it was my strongest point last year, just costs shots galore if not on fairway, a lot of thinking to do, which is normally my biggest issue!!

Individual & team win away in a county knock out today, sighting round on Friday was essential as I'd not have played it the way I did today if I was seeing it for the first time.

Played Ellesmere today , first time ever .
Very good course and well done to the greens staff for getting it in great condition after the weather we have had.
Not an easy course .some great holes.
As your other post we were in the wrong position some times off the tee.
Played very long off the whites.
Played very well but couldn’t catch +10 in a bogey +10 jeez .
Bar staff were great and food was lovely .
Really enjoyed it thanks to the club.

Had a couple of lessons, driving improved considerably, but not getting the takeaway and tempo right on the irons. I know what to do, but old habits are hard to shift.

Played Thursday night and played really well to reach the quarter finals of the summer knockout.

Played this morning, wish I hadn’t bothered, club and swing just felt lethargic.

13 holes late this afternoon, to try out the adjustment from last week’s lesson on the course - much better than before, fingers crossed for Gleneagles next weekend.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I saw the +10, don't know what they were playing off but some score.

Very good 75 in breezy and showery weather today.

Tell me about it. On the plus side as I said, you're making OK scores with several "car crash" holes so look at what you can do when it comes together with the irons as well.

played the Sat Medal, shocking 82 gross... 0.1

Played Welshpool for the 1st time friday night twilight round(£12 after 2pm, a bargain). Last out on the course and finished at 9pm.

The game wasn't about the score and after a week of rain, went to enjoy the great views and stiff walk as it is on top of the hills. Could see for miles and miles.

18th really is a cracking tee shot and how much do you bite off. Need a bucket of balls on that tee!

Love hilly courses and the wife said she isnt going back to that hilly course either !

no Castles

no Castles

Not this time , just hills and hills and plains, more hills, more fields and miles of it, oh plenty of blue sheep

Played yesterday, called it a day on the 7th and headed home to spend time with my little lad.

Groundhog day at the moment, making bogey and double from the middle of the fairway.

Swinging it terrible and a bad back at the moment which is not helping. The two could be related I suspect.

I know the feeling

I would kill for your 82 at the moment.....

Since the start of last season I have had 14 0.1's from 16 comp rounds, 1 0.2 cut and a Stableford adjusted buffer. Pathetic
