Shot my lowest round of the year with a 73, and 41 points. Shame it wasn’t a competition and just a swindle

Back then irons went up to an 8, the putter was often stamped as the 9, this is what the guy would have had.
he said it was a 6 iron

10 over today. Dodgy knee in a brace, buggy, showers, what could go wrong? Played like an idiot, but scored ok. Medsl tomorrow, would take that.

A pre-war 6 iron would have the loft of a modern 8 or 9 iron, not good for putting.
It's a commonly made mistake as it looks more like a modern 6 than a 9.

Yesterday at the Zoo was a game of two halves...
19 out, laying pretty well in light rain and a bit of breeze.
When the sun came out I lost it completely and scaped 11 coming back.
Annoying.
Today I played in a Captains charity day at a local club(Ellesborough) partnering my old golfing partner from many moons ago, his 18 year old daughter ( who I got through her test a few months back) and another mate.
Best 3 stable ford scores to count on each hole.
Started off tamely, bogeying the first 4 and the front 9 didn't get much better
As a team we had 54 form the front...I had 13
Blobbed the 10th but then shot 16 on the remaining holes to finish on a personal 29 and the team on 110
Nice 2 on a longish par 3
The wind got up after about 6--7 holes and was blowing hard enough to turn over tables on the veranda when we finished.
I doubt we'll be in the team prizes but Ellie was sitting pretty on the ladies nearest the pin hole...
Thoroughly enjoyable but tough day. Only played Ellesborough once before on a cold, bleak, windy and rainy Wednesday in February about 3 years ago.
Enjoyed it much, much more today.
Especially the 2

Net 2 under in the medal this morning. Well pleased after a run of rubbish recently!

Careless timing but great shooting
Had a joint lesson with my son in laws dad via a Groupon voucher at gravesend golf centre.
No major issues with my irons although he wants me to try and hit a draw so that’s something to work on.
Sod’s law that after uncontrollable slices on Wednesday with the driver I hit everyone dead straight with the only adjustment being trying a lower tee to get the ball flight down.
I’ve decided to get some short game lessons with the same pro

Utterly useless today. Shocking how I can go from easy golf to struggling to hit a fairway with a iron.
Even more frustrating is the putter is on fire. I haven’t putt this well for a long time, but rest of the game is upside down..
Over joyed that I have a 36hole medal open tomorrow.. FFS! 💩

Gents Invitation today at Coventry, my 3rd year playing with Gary (Region3) where we’ve been 2nd with 46 points before but it didn’t click today.
Lots of decent scores came in and I think if we’d have both played like we can and have done previously together, I don’t think we could have pressed the leaders or got into the frame.
Always a pleasure to host Gary, lovely chip in on the 4th for a birdie 4 pointer but then with no shots for 2 of the next 3 holes we just couldn’t find those important and needed birdies and we knew pars were just not good enough so it was a grind, but very enjoyable.

Well it was yesterday's roll-up - and I guess I am approaching my rock-bottom stableford points for a round - 7 out and 10 back.
Of course it can go lower - but nothwithstanding all my golfing problems (well there is one great big biggie - LL is back with a vengeance) - off a handicap of 8 I should always be able to cobble together at least a handful of 2pointers in 18 holes...but good golly it is tough...

76 today in the medal. 3 putted the last too. Still, a net 65 so can't complain. 5 over going out, 1 under coming back. I have count back in the bag, I think.
What ever, I will be back to 10 for Sunningdale.

First round in forever today. Topped a hybrid off the first. Walked off with a seven. Good start. Improved and ended up getting 29 points including a chip in birdie on a par 3.
Played with a one armed golfer for the first time. Fascinating to watch. So much power!

Had a friendly at Hazlemere yesterday. We've been trying to play a lot of courses we've not played before lately, so this was another new one. Some of you will know it, but being very hilly and with a lot of blind shots & holes, it was a bit tricky for us who didn't know the course! I played well though, managed 37 points. And that was with a blob at the 18th after I somehow donated two balls to the lake (brain fart moment - exactly the same fatted chipped twice). I missed three putts on the round that I really should've holed, so could have been a really good round if I'd have dropped even two of them. But yeah I was pretty pleased aside from that. Driving was mostly good, irons were decent, hit some good chips as well but a bit unlucky with the speed and slopes of the greens at times.
Most importantly, the pre-round breakfast was absolutely fantastic! One of the best I've had.

Board comp medal today.
Managed a 2 shot cut before Sunningdale 🤦ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Good golf on front 9, +2 off 16. Dropped my pants on back 9 but scrambled handicap for 80 net 64.
Currently tied with 2 very good golfers (4 and 0) and if nothing comes in better will be a 3way 18 hole medal playoff. They shot gross 68 and 64 so embarrassed to be 'level' with them!
Lowest I've been which is all I really care about as can't control what others do.
Best ever comp round of 80 and it was all the way off the blocks. Only held 1 putt outside 4ft so was a good ball striking round, not at all reliant on holing long ones. Hopefully more to come.
