It's not been right for a couple of weeks, but it went whilst putting out on the 18th 😖

Jeso it must have been a long putt ,

Played in a seniors scratch competition at Manchester GC this morning, I played pretty well but didn't get much luck, had 5 putts that either lipped out or horse shoed even one that was right in the middle of the hole but somehow came back out didn't have much luck with bounces either.

However I did finish in my buffer zone so not all bad news

Board Comp today, currently 2nd on 39pts, should mean I’m down to 10.1, :whoo:
Closing date for County Cat 2 Champs (Handicaps 6-10) is friday, entering tomorrow once results published, season goal achieved :thup:

Respectable 34 points yesterday.
2 no scores in there down to dodgy drives so can't be unhappy with 34.
Some good par saves - short game working well.
Fragger - not so good......

Hopped over to the course after work yesterday for a little bit of much needed practice. At 7pm I decided to add a quick 9 holes. When I am on my own, I can normally get around in less than 1 1/2 h. Unfortunately there were two guys teeing off when I reached the first tee (and the 10th tee was blocked as well, or I'd have jumped on there). They asked me to join them and since I did not want to be stuck behind them, I did. They were both super nice, but the worst hackers I played with in a long time. Literally every tee shot went wild. They did hit provisional balls frequently, but since those weren't much better, we did spend quite a bit of time searching.

Our sprinklers go on at 8.30pm ... we had just reached the 5th green at that point and I quite gratefully jumped at the chance to excuse myself. So much for a quick 9 holes ... the guys kept playing btw, despite the sprinklers

I barely seem to play at the moment, weeks go by before I tee up.

Last night was just a pleasure to get out there.

A toe fade into a ditch off the tee kicked things off nicely. Iron up and a shonky wedge for a lovely 6. Follow that two two more 6s and all but one of my handicap shots for the 9 are gone I three holes. Maybe I shouldn’t have bothered.

It all kicked off then with a 9iron to 8 foot and a birdie. Spent the next hole in bunkers for every shot and still lipped our my par putt. Back to back pars followed and another one just missed on the last.

Overall just one over my handicap with two doubles and a bird that turned into a bogey after a poorly executed chip.

So much potential in that round and quite a difference that birdie made. Who knew 9 holes could be so eventful!

Re: I played today and......

Played the semi final of the Vice Presidents Trophy last night which is our club's big Summer Pairs tournament played as Foursomes. My partner and I ended up winning 1 up against two very steady 5 handicappers, we used our shots well. Won 17 with a shot to go 1 up and scraped a half on 18 to win. Dead chuffed , onto finals day now in September.

Thanks mate, still waiting for results to be published!

Driving was great today, unfortunately mid irons, chipping and putting weren't. Struggled round for a pretty feeble 26 points.

Only ray of light was I managed to finish the round with the same ball I started with, for the first time in weeks. Small victories and all that ...

Edit: Results in, down to 10.1 and 3rd on countback. Cheers mate

Went out this morning on my own, quite new to the game and still trying to figure it all out!

Shot 89 beating my previous best by 10 and my last round by 20+, some days golf is kind after all.

Hopefully get out over the weekend to see if progress continues!

Well done, but don't get too excited, your best round is usually followed by your worst. I hope not though:thup:

 

[Tashyboy]

Am sulking coz me backs gone, don't know where to but need one to swing me clubs. On a positive, no double bogeys today 😁

Played a mid week competition for the first time in years.

Steady start, 10 points after five holes, and then my body got taken over by a 36 handicapper, double bogey golf for five holes. Then next seven holes in one over, and just needed a par at the last for buffer. Perfect drive, lovely eight iron over the front bunker on a tiger line to the pin, and then the ball landed on a sprinkler cover. Ball took off like a jump jet, shot over the green hit the trees by the halfway hut, and bounced back into our very deep pit. Chris Bonnington with have struggled to get out of that. Lovely burried lie, and my next shot finished at the bottom of the car park. Stupid game.

A bit lost for words after todays medal, on the front nine I started well and was 1 over after 4 and then it happened, on every one of the next 5 holes I had birdie putts and on every hole I walked off with a bogey, all the putts were of varying length between about 8 and 30 feet, some I left way short, others I knocked several feet past, 42 for the nine when it really should have been no more then 37.
The 2nd nine was steady but not spectacular but I did managed another 3 putt when going for a birdie and finally on the last hole after chipping to less than 10 feet let it get tome after again failing to get down in no more than two and missed a backhanded tap in and so 4 putted.
I finished with a 88 nett 76, but it really should have been a 80 net 68. I just feel so frustrated!

 

[Imurg]

And really, really shouldn't have bothered....

Played with our 10.30 roll up boys today, thought I’d have a warm up before tomorrow’s Medal.

Can’t really complain, especially knowing the amount of shots I left out there, but 3 good birdies and 35 points was enough to take the spoils in my group and give me a little confidence for tomorrow.

New swing is coming along nicely, the bad drives aren’t destructive, I’m going to shoot the lights out of my course soon 😜🏌️

Played in the swindle yesterday and broke my handicap for only the second time this year, not good enough for the win though as my regular playing partner went 2 better.

Medal tomorrow and we are both hoping we have not peaked too early, he went 42 43 this week and I went 38 41 (39 is playing to handicap)
