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:

Played nine holes in the evening for the first time since er ever. Played with a couple of lads ave never met before. One could hit it close to 300 yds and has only been back playing golf a couple of weeks. His first drive went 40 yds. His short game was painful to watch. I had 18 points walking up the 9th and played my first double bogey. Thought it would be a nice nine holes to get me ready for the nine hole comp tomorrow. Just had a look at me tee time tomorrow and it's a back nine comp, not the front nine ave played today 😖

35 points tonight. Greens so slow after some serious rain.

15 points out. Level par back for 20 points.

Said after 13 holes I'd need two birds on my way in to make buffer.
Bird 14
Bird 15
Dumped in front bunker from 100yards on 16.rolled over edge for par.
17 hit pin with bird putt from a foot off green.
18 long bird putt burns edge.

Likely to miss buffer by one. Stings. :( lol

yesterday I played in the Seniors scratch at Manchester Golf Clubs Festival week, I had poor double bogies on the first and the last but in between played pretty well, except on the greens. 9 times I had a birdie putt albeit some were pretty long ones, but those 9 holes only yielded 2 pars, the rest I 3 putted except for one hole when frustration got the better of me and I took 5 on the green. All very frustrating again I just could not get the length of any putts.

First round after Sunningdale. Finally managed to play golf 😀😀

38 points at @chrisd stomping ground.

Probably should have been a few more too but just happy to put a score together alongside the obligatory 2 blobs 😬😬

Midlands Seniors team of six Championship at Coxmoor and hardest greens I've played on all year , super slick .
Had a good 79 in the morning so that counted for the team score but alas fell.away badly this afternoon with a 89 which didn't count as it's best 5 from 6.
We came second to Lincolnshire and beat Nottinghamshire by one so my birdie on the last in the morning counted 🤣🤣.

What did you make of it?
The food was lovely!!

It was great to play the course in summer. The society used to always play there in winter to cut costs. Having taken over the running of it, I wanted to see it in all its glory.

Honest appraisal. I thought the bunkers were very inconsistent. The greens were slower than I expected, but still good. Fairways looked good, a few places were a little lush I felt. Will defo go back though as the foods awesome 😂😂

A good round today in our stableford, 38 points so a little cut and back to 10 after going up to 11 last Thursday. I played very well, I only hit one poor shot, sadly on a par 3 and ended up in a penalty area so I blobbed the hole. I did also 4 putt another par 3 but that was offset by holing 15-20 foot putts on each of the next 3 holes.
Almost finished with an ace on the last in front of the club house but had to settle for a 6 inch tap in birdie and a round of applause from a society sat behind the green

A charity golf day at a course i'd not played before. Took my gutter level golf game out, had a good laugh, didn't apply enough sunscreen so currently look like a bloody Drumstick lolly!

Didn't play great, but didn't play terrible either. My usual mixed bag - 5 pars, one on a par 3, 3 on par 4's and one on a par 5 - which were undoubtedly the highlight for me...but also carded two 10's and two 8's ... yes, you read that right. Turns out that when you hit the lip of a bunker the first 2 times you try to get out, you should really just come out sideways, rather than insisting you can do it.... also, rookie mistake of picking up my 9 iron when I meant to pick up my 6 because I was too busy talking rather than paying attention to which club I was picking out of the bag and subsequently not going through my pre-shot routine, which i'd have noticed "Hmm, I don't remember my 6 feeling this short, or lofted" ... no, daft arse here picked it up, barely looked at the ball and smacked the thing high into the air and straight into a lake. Serves me right.
