Didn’t play but got to the pitching area on this fine morning for 5am and had a good hour and half doing some pitching, bunker and short game drills.
Head greenkeeper kindly then prioritised mowing the putting green for me at 6.30am to get rid of some of the morning dew.
Had an hour putting with the new putter and rounded off practice with a bacon cob and coffee before heading to work.
Will play a full round post work at 6pm tonight.
I love long summer days so much time for activities.

I think it's an embedded link that the image loading website embed into the image code now. Was too big to attach directly. Naughty

A couple of rounds at Sunningdale.... I was awful on the New, driving was terrible and you can't play the course from the heather. My ball striking was much better on the Old, generally drove it well and my irons were solid, however my chipping and putting were awful, particularly my putting with a 4 putt on 8 the highlight.

Up to the club for 9 holes at 6.00 this morning to keep everything loose and try and find something in my game. Already stifling and a struggle initially to get use to slower speed of the greens compared to Sunningdale and The Addington in particular. Not great and short game wilted in the sun. Playing 18 tomorrow and then all weekend so back to work for a rest next week. Glad I have physio first thing tomorrow

Out for the midweek stableford yesterday.
Hadnt hit a ball in a week after going to the open last weekend and going on the booze for a mates birthday.
Was busting to get out. Rolled up straight from the car and no putts to warm up.
Made a slow start and was 3over thru 5. Settled down and got in the par groove. Parred thru to 16 then birdied 17 and par 18 to finish 2 over.
Came 4th and got cut down to my lowest. Good stuff. Tees were well up and very little wind so many people took advantage.
Got wind today that I am leading golfer of the year by 4 points thru 27 rounds. 21 to go.

It was rather hot today for our Centenary Trophy, I started well and was on my handicap after 12, then unfortunately found a greenside bunker that was partly flooded, I hand to take a drop from the water and the ball pulled in the sand, thrashed it our but double bogied the hole, That must has been on my mind cos I hit an awful tee shot on the next messed up the hole 7 on a par 3. I then think the heat got to me and I finished the round very poorly. I dropped 11 shots on the last 5 holes!!

Played a 3 club + putter game with my mates.
Wasn't expecting too much ............................. wasn't disappointed!
I had an absolute 'mare with the putter but did something I've never done before.
I started birdie, birdie.
It went south very quickly.
The Guinness afterwards was awesome.

Had a 4.5 hour round from 3pm to 7.30pm. I stupidly picked up a cotton t-shirt. Christ I was saturated by hole two. May as well have rained I had that little grip due to sweaty palms. Seemed to be a theme with the lads I played.
My worse round I remember in a long time. How do the guys on your playing in heat not have this issue? I was almost letting the club loose after every shot it was a nightmare.

Back to the zoo today with CVG...
Millionaires Golf - splendid
Pretty steady scoring from both of us and we walked off the 18th level at 35 points each with CVG s waking it on countback.
After the inferno that was yesterday we had a nice 22/23° and a couple of showers.
Decent day at the office

- I had to use 4 different gloves the other week in rotation - off after every shot like the pros
- Towels
- Being naturally cool

I never wear a glove and always take a spare towel for hands, head and face.
I played yesterday, sweated like a pig on a spit and never had a grip issue ............................................ my putting, however!
played a recyprical at Nairn Dunbar today. Lovely breeze to keep you cool.
Played pretty well apart from the Orikoru on the 15th but a tap on eagle on 16th made up for that

Played with my two best mates at Sutton Green. They are pretty much beginners and play only a handful of times a year so the quality of golf is always secondary to the banter. I didn't play great (think I'm over golfed now) but got it round in 32 having gone out in a measly 13 points. Greens were so slow compared to what we've enjoyed all week at the Addington and Sunningdale but were in pretty god nick aside from the speed. Some of the bunkers were poor but all in all for a very busy pay and play it was in good condition and a good time had by all

Been struggling for a couple of months, firstly irons and then putting. Went out on the course today with my son. After five holes was net five over with two decent drives wasted with irons off of the toe (one into water and the other OOB). Then missed out on a birdie on 6 with a downhill putt that stopped on the lip, birdied 7, missed a birdie on 8 with a long downhill putt that stopped just two inches short (I've only had nine birdies all year so this short run was unprecedented for me), also had a thirty foot birdie putt lip out in 17. Felt like I could strike it will again until one off of the toe on 18 put me in the trees. Last 13 holes were played in net seven under. Let's see if this can translate into a score in the competition tomorrow.

Feeling it now but even more so in the legs. Had a physio session first thing so they managed to keep it all loose and I've been doing my exercises morning and night to keep it all stretched out. Back to my home club for a team event tomorrow and first off int he stableford on Sunday. After that, a few days off to recover
