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

[Orikoru]

Decided to play supper club and test the back post physio. Good news was actually hitting the ball was pain free. Bad news was using a carry bag was a mistake and caused the back to really hurt. Good news is it was no more painful than when this all started. Good, good news is once I did 40 minutes of stretching again took two neurofen and put heat on it the pain was much reduced. Had to get on the ground a few times on the course and really stretch it out so don't be alarmed if you see a brightly coloured mass on the floor next week. It'll mean the back is struggling again

I only managed 15 points but thought it was going to be one of those days when I hit a pitch stone dead for opening birdie. Going along great (on back 9) until 14 when I lost 2 balls off the tee and didn't score, 15 when I went into a ditch (but scrambled a point) and 16 when I went left again OOB. I chipped really well and made a great sand save at 17 and chipped dead on 18. Just need to keep going with the exercises, try and do some short game work and putting and then hit balls at weekend. Put me down for 25 at Addington and 23 on the Old and 24 on the New (if I play well!).

This seems like a schoolboy error??

Yes and no. Only had carry bag with me as I only use trolley bag when I bring Motocaddy up at the weekend and time we went out the pro shop was closed and so no trollies to hire electric or pull. I wanted to get out on the course to at least hit a few shots and see exactly what did and didn't hurt and where my game was so faced with carry or nothing. Definitely feel it was this that caused the pain but hitting a few balls later so we'll see. Was definitely 7/10 coming off 18 in the pain stakes but did the physio exercises when I got in and stuck deep heat on and back to a 3/10 today

So having got back to 3/10 you are going back to hit more balls? Doesn't sound the best idea to me. Physio exercises, and rest sounds sensible. I guess it takes all sorts.

He is just playing with my emotions about getting a cheap round at Sunningdale

Played a round after work yesterday. If I could learn how to putt I'm in for a cut. 82 gross, 36 points, with 40 putts. 40 friggin putts. Absolutely useless.

Cheers Glynn.
At Coventry for the above and getting some sneaky practice in before RickG's memorial day Played really steady apart from the par 5 6th when chipping out from under the trees on the right got a flier and went OB and walked off with triple. Greens in top nick.

Playing with an Eastwood and a Westwood tomorrow

36 putts today did the damage , finished 11th in age division and 25th overall so not too bad

Only managed 8 holes today, first time with the new A flex shaft on my M2 driver. Hard to tell if it's going to help my game or not, as I couldn't hit any club flush [ no change there then ]

Hit exactly 24 balls. Hit 21 very well. 15 minutes putting, 10 minutes chipping and 10 balls in the bunker. I am done and ready for Monday. Once dinner has gone down, back on the mat for tonights exercises. Rest now until Monday. Club championships this weekend so can't get out and play anyway

The longer you take to pull out of Sunningdale the lower my offer drops. Down to £22.50 now

You're as funny as haemorrhoids

 

[Slime]

I played to day and was generally extremely average, bordering on twattish at times ............................ but I don't care.
The reason I don't care about my score is because I thinned, fatted, knifed, dobbed, dunched and flubbed absolutely NO chips or pitches!
Okay, I wasn't knocking them stiff, but every pitch/chip I made was followed by a putt!
Happy days.

Played this evening in the 9 holer and managed to best Rory in both the "big score on the first" category and the "missing a short putt" category, all on the first hole.

First hole par 4, tee shot OB, just short of the green in 4, bladed chip, putt past the hole, leave the next two inches short and casually go up to tap in and miss the ball altogether! Down for a 9.

Needless to say I didn't go on to win anything.

Can you blame it on the clubs Nick?

I'd like to but I did beat Rory on the last where I made a fine bogey having scuffed my tee shot 50 yards.

Knock out last night at Nairn. weather had been OK, got t the first tee and it starts lashing down, so on with the WP's but its a westerly for the first time in a while (the prevailing wind) cleared up by the 3rd tee and was lovely and sunny for the rest of the round.

guy i was playing was very quiet and didn't really say a word, other than thats good or flag out for the front 9 and didn't really attempt to walk alongside me down the fairways either

anyway won't go into the details, but i played pretty well and won 4&3 only one bogey and 4 birdies, once the game was over he changed and asked if we could play the remaining holes and was very chatty, Turns out he was a Doctor and was embarrassed about the amount of shots he got. had a nice chat about the changes to the course, played even better on the last 3, birdied 16,17 and 18 and he did on 17 and 18.

A medal yesterday for me, the girl I played with was on fire right from the off with a birdie at the first, she was level par for the first nine and finished the round 4 over great going off 8 handicap.
I actually wasn't far from her tee to green but I found loads of greenside bunkers and my chipping and putting was frankly abysmal, rather disappointing as my short game has been decent of late.

 

[patricks148]

foursome tie lat night against two old boys who were great player in there day, both still cat1.

Comfortable win in the end, both hit the ball straight, but in reality were at times 40 yards further back than us.

Into the Q finals.

My pp had to dash, but I had a drink with them and a chat in the bar. they had won the trophy 10 times in the past and one of them was using an old 6 iron to put with. said he didn't like modern putters, TBH he used it pretty well
