Another 79, this time in a Medal - I didn’t hit it as well as yesterday, but scrambled well for 15 holes then made sloppy birdies on 16, 17 & 18, still not holding enough birdie putts.

Stableford comp yesterday. Not striking the ball all that well, but was fairly consistent other than I am pushing and pulling most putts of 5ft or less and had a number of three putts (one one four putt). In the circumstances a buffer score of 32pts was not too bad, but it could be so much better.
Spent half an hour on the putting green this afternoon to try and iron out the issue.

Out this morning, wish I hadn’t bothered, confidence is rock bottom.

Today was Presidents Prize to the ladies section, a stableford competition, what a strange round I had, not the best of starts, despite hitting the ball well 2 three putts albeit long ones and an awful duffed chip into a bunker meant I only had 4 points after 3 holes, I pull a shot back on the 6th with a birdie on a hole with no shot, but gave it back on the next with a very poor 3 putt but another birdie, with a shot, on the 8th for 4 points got me back to level 2s, a couple of 2 point holes and then probably the worst shot of the round, in perfect place, a 9 iron from the flag in 2 on a par 5, I contrived to hit the ball way right into a tree and then into a stream, from looking at a 3 point par, I ended up with a blob.
I came back again, and parred the next 4 holes to get back to level 2s, then the course decided to play its part, I hit what looked like a lovely drive down the 16th (no shot) but it bounced on the fairway and kicked hard right and into trees, I had to chip out and failed to get down in 3 more so a blob. The 17th is a long par 5 with a ditch at 150 from the green, which is below the level of the fairway in a bowl, I have to lay up before the ditch with my 2nd, which I did, and then hit a nice wood which bounced on the top and dropped down to the green, unfortunately there is a ditch behind the green and my ball rand across the green and into the stream, so a penalty drop and what looked like a good par chance resulted in a double bogey.
I also dropped a shot on the 18th and so finished with 32 points, once again so close to a good score but a couple of bad shots and a good dose of bad luck got in the way.
Handicap back up to 11 too

August Medal, started okay and one under handicap after 12, then on the 13th I just clipped the edge of a conifer after a well struck 3 iron second shot and bounced into a ditch, my own poor play thereafter to rack up a quad bogey. Decent on the next two holes and then in the middle of the fairway on the 16th at perfect 9 iron distance, I got excited that I might get my first buffer of the year and racked up another quad bogey....
After Stableford adjustment I expect I'll miss the buffer by one shot.

Monthly stableford. After playing poorly and not hitting great warming up I wasn't overly optimistic. Three hours and forty five minutes later I am signing for a 38 and a handicap coming. Sadly I was already lying second in my division and third in the roll up bet when I left with lots to come in so not hopeful of any cash or pro shop vouchers. Dropped a silly shot on 4th but having taken an unplayable on 12 and getting to the front of the green in 4 (on a par 4) I rolled in a twenty footer for two points. Had three 10-15 footers following that which looked destined to drop and lipped out so could have been better. Having pitching issues again so played loads of chip and runs from 70-80 yards as the shot with biggest margin for error and it worked a treat. Pleased with my performance and a tiny bit annoyed it looks like I'll get nothing for it but to be honest that isn't why I enter comps. Handicap back down to 13 so a two shot drop so far in 2019

Got to the 3rd green this evening before we had a crack of thunder and called it a day.
Was only planning to play 9 or 11 holes so no biggie.
Pissing down now. Got in dry so not too bad.

Thanks! Spoke to some people at the club today who said they wouldn’t take the card cause it wasn’t an official comp. will have another word and see.

They can’t take the card and adjust HC but it can be used as a reference when it comes to Annual Review time ðŸŒðŸ¿â€â™‚ï¸

This sums up my golf. Played last Sunday in pro shop cup (medal) had a mare net 87😥😥, played today same course medal comp had a net 68. Stupid game but hopefully a nice cut for me ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.
Tips that people gave me ref getting ball in correct position really helped so thanks.

Results are in, and yes, I've won the second medal on the bounce (division 2). But in other news, the cut was 1.2 even though CSS stayed the same and I was only 3 shots under it (not sure if that's an error or not), AND I got an additional shot for exceptional scoring! The upshot is that I'm now off 16.3! Bloody hell! That's gonna be a shock! It's our open next week as well. Blimey!

Hooray, it finally happened, I broke my handicap at St Daves, Shot 8 over, Teed off in no wind and humid, lost 1 ball on the 3rd when the wind suddenly blew up and took my ball off for a ride to neverland. 1 triple, 6 bogeys and 1 birdie, 2 over at the turn.
Its been coming over the last month or so, best I have chipped/putted for about 15 years, hope that continues, be nice to have that back. Lovely cheeseburger & chips and then back out for another round once son arrived.
Afternoon fun games with son, texas scramble....shot 1 over between us.
Due to being behind a society and no one behind us, we played the back to back par 5s twice(texas and then as singles) & beat him with a par/birdie combo, however lost all the driver/wood putting comps to tee pegs on the fairways that we had, whilst waiting.
Great day and afternoon. More importantly can you ever have enough golf ?

No full rounds but down the practice ground and about 24holes on the course. Rather weird trying to hit the ball off the toe of the club (actually almost trying to miss the ball inside) and yet managing to hit it (mostly) pretty nice. But hey! If it works I keep going with it - and maybe it'll become second nature.

Results are in and second in my division so a few quid in pro shop vouchers but looks like I came 4th in the roll up bet and so will miss out. Been cut from 13.5 to 12.9 so happy about that.

Brassed off today and all the reasons will be rejected by everyone!!
4bbb Vets league match against another club - I played the best I've managed all season and we've lost 1 down, both players were higher handicap and ex members of our club, I chipped 3 times and hit the pin each time and not one dropped, finally hit the driver best this year, played about 4 under my handicap, playing partner played well too and they really pee'd off in that they never gave a putt even from 8 inches but asked if we were conceding theirs (we made all the putts)
I've also stopped at Pets at Hometo buy a cat to kick and they were closed 😣

With your delicate physiology you'd only break a toe. And the cat would probably have you in the resulting fight
