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

well i was on the course today but i couldnt call it playing golf as i was absolutely bloody awful .
after winning and then having a thrd place in my last two comps today the golf gods took their revenge BIG TIME.
my driver ,normally an allie deserted me and was today enemy number one ,enemy two was my short game ,but that is not an unusual happening for me ,enemy three was my general iron play ,usually a strong point as im a fair ball striker. and then we come to enemy four which was the flat stick ,or rather a wickedly designed lump of useless metal on a stick. i couldnt buy a putt.
all in all a grand total of 21 paltry points showed in the final score box on the card .
im hoping that i have got rid of all my bad shots today so come the old farts weekender i will be playing my totally sublime version of golf.
 
I played today and now considering selling my clubs!
I was absolutely garbage!!!!
When I am bad, I am really bad!
4 billion swing thoughts don’t help and now my driver is my most consistent club, which has never been the case for me. Hitting wedges effortlessly in practice but when I get to the course I am like a beginner.
Been playing some decent stuff lately then 2 rounds of utter shite!
Massive glass of red wine and booking a lesson will hopefully help!
 
Which putter was this? 🙂
Still sounds a good knock with the wind and pin placements. Might CSS go up?


Theres always the chance but it will depend on the overall scoring.

Nike mod 90 putter in the bag for two rounds now. Good distance control with it so far and holed its first birdie. Good to get that out of the way. Haha.
 
Midweek medal tonight on the Bracken played better than the weekend but no doubt I will still get 0.1 back.

Finished, par, par, par, bogey then birdied the last to show some signs there is a game in there somewhere 👌

12 is getting closer 😂
 
Another medal today, I hi the ball well again although 2 very poor 3 putts for double bogies pearly on didn't help things, but I continued playing well and start scoring a lot better so after 16 holes I had 8 pars and a birdie and despite the 2 early doubles I was ahead of my handicap and then it happened again, out of nowhere an awful shot which meant I double bogied the 17th, I promptly followed this up with a terrible tee shot on the last and a triple bogey 6.

So once more despite playing very well I manage to mess it up, so annoying, almost every round id in my buffer or just 1 over but I cannot get the cuts
 
Hit some superb shots today.
Hit some awful shots today.
Chipping/pitching was much better, only dunched four or five.
Weather was gorgeous.
Nailed a 135yd bunker shot to ten feet .......................... and missed the putt.
A top afternoon followed by a cold Guinness.

Did someone say good shot on the 16th:ROFLMAO:
 
Played Abridge last night. I've lived in Essex for over 12 years and it's the first time i've played it. Cannot believe how lush and green the fairways were. The greens were lovely too. Shame people don't replace their divots and, even worse, repair their pitchmarks. There were pitchmarks all over the place.

Played pretty well. Shot a +2 74.
 
Had a great fun road trip to Ireland, just under 1,000 miles, 7 nights, 7 rounds of golf and arrived back at about 3am last night, absolutely pooped, shattered and golfed out, with some great experiences and probably 2 entries into my personal favourites top 10. Only hammered it down one day and we were not booked in to play golf that day(phew!), so didn't play in Limerick and had perfect playing condititions for all rounds(winds around 0-15 mph, sunny or cloudy)

Played :-

The European Club (wow alert:love:)
Mount Juliet (Great parkland and by far the best greens of the week)
Trump Doonbeg
Beaufort Golf Club
Tralee (super-est wow alert :love::love::D)
Ballyheigue Castle Golf Club (couldn't play Ireland without a castle being in one of the courses:);))
Waterville

Will upload some pictures and a little write up of the courses soon, as didn't find much on some of the courses on the forum and some of the courses are really good, with fantastic views, welcomes and experiences.
 
Took out one of our newbies again today for a card for her handicap, one of our other ladies walked round with us and, at her suggestion, marked a supplementary card for me.
We only did nine holes, our new girl broke 50 and had a birdie, both firsts. I went round in 2 over and got a 0.6 cut so back down to 10.1.
