Tough luck but great shooting. Sounds as though you thought about the scores a bit and got ahead of yourself. All said and done though decent cut coming. Were you winning

Finally got to CAT 1 ...... for a week at least. Shot 3 over with 1 double, two bogies and a birdie. Missed 5 really good birdie chances, and had a couple of three putts. Two bogies were on par 5's on the back 9 too. I walked off feeling pretty strange. On the one hand, really pleased, on the other, annoyed at how much better it should have been. CSS was rarely under par too so my cut wasn't as large as I though tit would be. Are we ever happy with this game ??????

17 holes played at home 4 over with 3 birdies(weirdly son birdied the same holes
), played matchplay against son/wife, 5 under handicap, didn't win one flipping hole. Wife beat us 2 holes to nil: nil.
Played 27 holes at RSD with the whole family, 4 over by the 3rd and hadn't hit a bad shot(bunker everywhere) Hit 14 greens in regulation and couldn't get a put in(lost 3 balls,, rough is brutal currently). Took to the last hole to get a birdie, hit a nasty thin onto the 18th pin high and sunk the putt. Nice lunch before hand.

Excellent bud. Nice to get it done inspite of the putting, not because of it. I feel your pain there.

(Friday) very drunk previous night, rough morning at work, several cups of coffee, started 5 (easy par 3), 8 ( lost ball off tee, easy peasy par 4). Two others balls were lost until game arrived back on 5th tee. Ship steadied and a 91 was made. Two nice pics of mother duck and three ducklings and also a nice picture of a Heron.

Thanks. You're right Gaz. I tried to be a bit more aggressive with a couple of putts after "cosying" up a few birdie putts and it cost me.

Club Championships this weekend, I shot 73 off the whites in round 1 for a share of 2nd place. Then on Sunday, in the penultimate group out, I struggled round in 79 off the blues. So I got a 0.4 cut, down to 3.7, on the Saturday and buffered on the Sunday.
Over all I finished in 7th, only beaten by lower handicappers (mostly county players).
I think a lack of fitness, and practice, may have affected the 2nd round, as I just couldn't get through the ball effectively like I did on the first day. Like Junior says, so many what if's!
But no doubles (or worse) and only 1 three putt over the two days (and the greens were lightning fast) is a decent return to form with a card in my hand.

Great feeling and achievement. Just wait till the day your putter gets hot and you can take advantage of the ball striking.

Half doz holes yesterday evening and - bless all things jiminy cricket - I found a way to hit quite nice iron shots. Lovely Until I played my second shot on the last hole. And off it went - in a direction almost perpendicular to where I should have been going and looking for a place to hide deep in the woods. Another two attempts produce the same result - what is it they say about madness? A third - and it pings beautifully away. I dunno - golf...

I dunno - golf...Played the Bracken for the first time yesterday, early tee time 08.24 meant up at 5am, but it was well worth it.
Full breakfast on arrival so didn't need anything from the halfway house which was well stocked.
Decided to play off the whites which led to some long approaches into the green, sometimes slightly blocked not knowing the best side of the fairways to be, but also brought a lot of fairway bunkers into play! I won't be using the driver on some holes in next Sundays Medal so this round was a good education for me.
Course was in very good condition, greens were a little slower than I'm used to at Coventry, but I fully understand why they can't be quicker as they wouldn't hold the ball with so many undulations and run-offs, I'll just need to adjust to them when playing.
Lost 3 balls, 2 of which were really unlucky and just a lack of knowledge of the course, 1 was a poor shot on the par3 5th, I was worried about pulling it left OOB so I put it into the scrub between the 4th & 5th greens on the right!
5 decent pars and just missing birdie putts on the 3rd, 8th & 18th after great drives and approaches into the greens in regulation, the others were on the par3's 11th & 16th, which the latter won our matchplay 4 & 2.
Medal on Sunday on the Bracken so hopeful of a better nett score of 83 as I essentially blobbed 6 holes (nett double bogeys ramped it up) of which 3 were lost balls.
It can only get better....

Saturday 7 birdies and -2 in the COMP never stressed, new putter grip is perfect investment. a year struggling and a 1.3 cut #StillLearning #TGN

Robin.... how longs the travel from your place (Club) to Woodhall?
Took me 1hr 50 to get there Sunday morning, easy journey, didn’t push it, took closer to 2hrs back though mainly due to diversions for the 1940’s weekend in the town.

Just finished chopping it around 27 holes at St George’s hill with @Captainron
Started at 4.15 and only a 4 ball held us up for 2 holes
What a place to play golf. Red and Blue Course is beautiful condition but I felt the green was the ugly sister of the 3 loops of 9
Very generous fairways. Even Cameron managed to hit a few. Although on one hole he was 80 yards wide with his 1st shot and his provisional was over 160 yards wide. A new record on a tree lined course 🤣
Not quite as good as Swinley or Sunningdale for me but still a lovely setting. Shame some of the houses that line the course are a bit rough but you can’t have it all.

Went round in 115 today. Best ever score. Still having some crap holes and triples on par 3's which frustrate, but also got a 3 and a 4 today.
My first ever lesson is on Wednesday.

I’d just come off 2 consecutive pars and was getting too used to that ball so I had to set it free. And then give it a friend.

The GM there told me that the average house price on the estate is a whopping £21m!!!!
