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

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 askedif 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 😣

Did you ask ?
 
foursomes tie last night against two guys we know. a tight game, but very relaxed. had a hairy moment as as we tee'd off the was a massive Thunderstorm all around us with quite a bit of lightning. rained for the first 3 holes then passed, but you could still see the lightning heading north up the Moray Fiirth.

we went down on the early, but soon got in front then never lost the lead, won 2/1.


We were the only people on the course, the two ball in front of us walked in after the first and didn't see a soul all the way round

Though to Semi finals now in both Greensomes and Foursome

I’ll soon take your game down a peg or two the way I’m hacking it about 😂😂
 
How did you get on?

It was a little bit more than I could chew.

We were all square after 7, me winning 1st, 5th and 7th with par, birdie, birdie.

I 3-putted for bogey, bogey on 8 and 9 where he got par on both, and the match was pretty much lost from there, though we finished it up on the 14th green.

Super happy with my performance overall, and no shame in losing to him. He went on to win it again for the 4th time. He was just so consistent from the tee, and around the green he made sure he got the ball within no more than 6 feet away from the hole.
I've been playing so well the last 3-4 weeks, but I still have the odd shocker where I duff shots from the tee and around the green. Throw in a 3-putt here and there, and well, you can't beat a 4 handicapper who's playing steady. :)
 
Played at Reading yesterday as we were closed for the first two days of renovations week.

Pleased to report the recently vandalised 14th Green is totally repaired and you’d never know it had been damaged.

Well done the Greenkeepers -Top job folks m.
 
Enjoyable round with Patrick today around the Kings course, weather was superb as well.
My golf left a lot to be desired, short game and putting wasn’t bad though.
Got a few helping tips which definitely improved my game, especially alignment.
Patrick was superb, gave himself plenty of birdie opportunities, easy too see why he is in two semi-finals.
Thanks for the game and company 👍🏻
 
Played our 1/4 final singles HC match play today. Was 2 down after 6 after missing my par putt from 2ft. Then driver and short game clicked and I par’d my way until winning 3&2 against a 7 HC who apart from the 11th where he lost a ball off the tee played very well. My irons were scruffy though so not many decent birdie chances.
On to the semis.

Well played mate. You’ll get him next year!

Putting was ok but missed a few chances.

Quarter final of our seniors matchplay this evening. Played a 5 handicapper, so received a shot a hole. Was close throughout. Was one up going down the last, but didn’t play it well and ended up losing on the first extra hole.

What was also disappointing was that my 5-iron shaft split in half with contact with a tree on my follow through on the second hole.
 
Paid a first ever visit to Sundridge Park today (using a 4ball voucher bought in last years H4H auction - and which I'd very nearly forgotten I'd got). East course closed till late due to a ladies comp, so played the West. A bit hilly but a very nice course in good nick. Greens looked like they'd had the Graden machine over them recently - a pity, but what has to be done has to be done. Played pretty decent compared to h/c and ended up with 89, nett 71. Definitely will go back.

Ouch! On both counts.

Glad you enjoyed it Brian, get the strimmer out and make that path;)
 
Bit disappointing. Played to handicap but made two rank mistakes. A par 5 with a very, very narrow tee shot. Absolutely nailed it across the dogleg leaving a 5 iron to the green, and the pin was sitting in a green place. Blocked the second shot OOB, Dropped another ball and put the next shot against a fence. And then 3 putted an easy hole not long after.

16th hole, another par 5, I hit a good tee shot well down the fairway. Blocked the second shot a wee bit, and it hit a tree and dropped straight down 90yds from the green. Before we got there a group coming the other way arrived and one of the guys played a ball. No ball when I got there. I did ask but he said he was sure it was his ball - a little surprised as I know the guy is a good player and he played from 40yds short, 30yds right of a short par 3. Maybe it was his...

Finished 3rd but it was one of those almost good rounds.
 
What a round..!!!!!
Never played like it before.....

Everything went......wrong.
Level handicap after 6 holes and the swing went to Ibiza for a rest....Gone.
Carnage ensued....utter carnage.
Got quite funny towards the end, missing greens from 100 yards out.... by 30 yards...:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
