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

Look on the bright side they may give you a 10 handicap in Annual review and you can clean up in the comps

I would still get 0.1 back on current form

It’s a tough game to play carrying an injury.
And can lead to compensation in the swing that’s were your bad shots are coming from

Problem is I was playing crap before my back started playing up.

I think part of the problem is I can't quite eliminate the miss left from my game and subconciously I have added the miss right to my bag of tricks!

Its not helping playing a tough golf course in cool 3 club wind conditions over the last few weeks.

Seeing the pro tomorrow so may have a better idea if its a technical issue or a physical limitation causing the problems at the moment.

Funnily enough I'm driving the ball long and straight which historically is the weakest part of my game....

I know how you feel ,injured my ankle 18 months ago and am still fighting with the compensations I made to carry on playing.
In hindsight I should not have played until it was sorted.
I have a pull in my swing from using all arms to take pressure of my ankle.
I am fit now but still not getting on my left side.
I know what to do ,but doing it is another thing.

Played in an impromptu 9 hole roll up today, 15 of us making the most of a rare bit of sunshine. Stroke play today instead of the usual stableford round our back 9.

Played super, felt so relaxed hit 6/7 Fairways and 9/9 greens. For 9 straight pars and a nice live level par gross to take the winning, which was promptly spent on pots pots of coffee all round.

Greens were as expected slow due to the growth from the rain and the fairways a little lush so we had preferred lies. The rough though I'm glad I didn't visit there more than once that stuff has seriously thickened up with the weather.

I'd be careful if i were you, you might get a bad name and aspersions on your handicap

on the subject of bandits any more news on the guy cleaning up under the wrong handicap?

I've always been better at Strokeplay, something about stableford just does my head in, I find I actually get bored with the format. I think it's because when I used to play as a junior it was all Strokeplay and the challenge was beating par and not some random points for a good hole or bad hole.

 

[Lump]

So close now, always said I think 2 would be my lowest handicap. Might have to rethink after the last few months.
Could have very very easily been -6 gross yesterday, Peppered flags all round but just couldn’t get them into the hole. Little gutted the weather turned vile on the last 3 holes. By the time we got to the 18th green it was waterlogged. Gross 75 in the end, thankfully CSS went +2 so 0.2 off. Tidy.

Another round out in Spain with the lad last week. La Finca this time. Impressed with the course, not so much the price. 130 euros for an adult and a junior with a buggy. Mind you, the lady on the drinks buggy gave him a free bag of sweets.

We were joined by a couple of lads from Scotland - who made the day thoroughly enjoyable.

We had a lady's open today, I wasn't going to play but 2 visitors were a player down so I filled in. it was best 2 scores from 3 to count on each hole. I mostly played well although did have a couple of blobs, on my own I scored 33 points, our teams total was 50

We got away with the weather although the course was very wet underfoot.

We have an inter club knockout on friday and 3 ladies from the team we are playing turned up for a courtesy practice round but asked if they could play in the open when found it was on, we happily took their entrance fee and they happily took 1st prize!

 

[Blue in Munich]

36 hole society day, having played the 3 previous days. Course was lovely, food very nice but the golf was unfortunately indifferent; 2 okay 9's one poor one and one a pile of . Time for a rest.

 

[backwoodsman]

Played twice over the weekend; Saturday was the Pro-shop comp & a good round turned into what l thought was an indifferent round by sloppy play over 15/16/17 - for a total of 34 points. Sunday had a horrendous start, with just 11 points over the front 9, but managed to turn it round over the back 9 for a total of 32.

Best bit is that I've just seen the comp results, and surprisingly my 34pts on Saturday was good enough for the win! And as CSS went up +2 it was good enough for another wee cut of 0.3 - happy days!! (And as the Pro-shop is an alternate day comp, it seems my 32 on Sunday would have been good enough for second place had I chosen to play then instead?)

Good shooting pal. What do you win?

 

[backwoodsman]

l'll get half the entry fees - was only a relatively small field this time, so in this case I gather it'll be £55 onto my account. But its the cut that means most - if I can go another 0.3 lower, I'll be at my lowest ever.

What will you be down to

What will you be down to

Currently on 18.1 so would be 17.8. (Obviously aiming for lower - hoping l can end the season with h/c starting with a one six ...)

Well done again, got some catching up to do then, had one buffer last time I played and have 2 comps this week.
