Cracking score, first time under par or broken it before ?

Been under par only once before in a practice game at lee park in liverpool. Was 3 under thru 12 and jelly legged it home in 1under. Lol

Was 2under last summer at an away day at roe park. Dropped shots on 16 and 17 and just got home level par.

Starting to get more comfortable with lower scoring. I think it's all part and parcel of shooting improved scores at every level.

Got cut from 5.2 to 4.8

Got cut from 5.2 to 4.8

Came 3rd overall by a point. There was a good first prize too. A £500 voucher for a mattress. Lol I will probably win a pillowcase. Haha

Target is the same as it's been for a little while now. Stay in cat1 and hopefully push for 4.

Currently leading the golfer of the year thing which is best 10 scores over the season. Hopefully nick that as I may never have a year like this again unless I find a good 20yards off the tee.

I usually like the end of the season as it tends to rain that bit more and soft greens means easier scoring in my book. Keep the head down and be patient. The scores will come if you keep knocking at the door. Good luck bud

only a 0.4 cut for 1 under gross off 5... you need to move to a harder course

It was off our yellows which is usually one easier css.
Big field out and everyone seemed to play well.
Css goes 2 easier for first time in a long time.
Typical

Played in Saturday am roll-up. First full round playing with others since I tried my 'fix' to stop doing LL after LL. And (until 2nd shot on 17) it worked.

Previous time out 3 weeks ago accumulated 17 pts - and week before 21pts. Groan. On Saturday - 32pts - joys. And the only LL was when trying to do something just too clever on 17 that meant I didn't focus on my 'fix' - bang - off it went - what a surprise.

Then yesterday - hit two LLs on 1st as I had got too confident that I had things 'sorted'. Wrong. Then doing what I have been told to do I played two balls over 12 holes without another.

Work in progress - but boy is it a wee bit scary. knowing that they are still in there.

I played at Leyland today in a Lancs Ladies qualifier for a matchplay knockout, the weather was mixed as was the state of the course and my game.

The course was close to unplayable, on one green we had to call for the green staff to come and squeegee the green after a heavy downpour had left surface water all around the hole although 2 holes later the green was bone dry. The course itself was pretty straight forward although there were a couple of quirky holes.

I did start off very well with 3 pars in the first 4 holes and I was fairly steady until I had an 8 on the 16th. In the end I finished 10th and the top 16 qualified for the knockout to be held at Fleetwood next month, although on the down side I got 0.1 back on my handicap

Yearly knock with my brother, for the memorial cup we play for in memory of our dad, this year at Cooden Beach - he hadn’t played since last years event, so handicaps are always a bit of a guess, he can get the ball to the green ok, but usually can’t chip or putt...... this year he could do both and beat me easily 3&2, I knocked it round in 81, +10 going out and -1 coming back in! A good reminder why I normally warm up before I play.

Joined the local golf society out here a few weeks back (Lo Crispin), so me and my brother joined them up at Alenda last wednesday. I was given my last official handicap (18) from when i was a member back in the UK at Christmas, and ended the day on 35 points. Was pretty clear from the comments made by the chap that played with us that I'd be getting cut - single figures were talked about. Fair enough, I had a run of 7 holes where I dropped 2 shots and was starting to get uncomfortable with it being my first day out with the society.
Anyway, played La Finca on Sunday to celebrate my brothers birthday, joined by my 9 year old lad. Cut myself to 14 to see how I fared and managed to get round in 88, so reasonably pleased with that score - the higlight of the round was a birdie on the 560 yard 5th hole. Stunning hole, downhill, island green, with magnificent views of the mountains as a backdrop.

Got some mates planning on coming out in October and can't wait to take them round La Finca, I know there are plenty of other courses round here to try, but this one is my favourite so far - and possibly my favourite ever played.

Worked on a minor tweak to set up for pitching and then hit the course for 9 holes. Pitching much improved. Shots tee to green absolutely dreadful

Joined wife/son on the back 9 holes. Topped first drive about a foot in front of the red tees, great start

6 GIR, got up/down on the other three greens, 1 birdie and two 3 putts (from 15 & 20 foot) for 1 over back nine, silly game, if only all the parts of the game would fall into place at one time, I may be able to put a proper score together again.

Son shot his first level par round to get to I think 5.2. Really happy for him.

I'm sure your glad you were able to witness that. No doubt your good play helped him along on the closing holes.

Smashed it in a nine hole comp. playing off 18.7 I went round in 41 shots with Lost a ball. Lowest ever front nine score. I scored 22 points, but when I put the score in the computer it gave me a 2 for three instead of a two for four. For some reason I only got 8 shots and not 9. Yet no one knows why? The reason is because the computer says so. Eh. Got a two, lowest score, winning comp when I left. Hcap cut. Happy days. But what's this computer says so rubbish.
When we came in, I had 22, a PP 21, last one of us 3 had 20. He plays off 11 and thought he had 5 shots. Computer says no, he had 6, so he came in with 21. We all had 21 points

lets just hope the milkman isn't a good golfer

Went to the club to play 9 holes and try a few things out. Got there at 3.30 and it was rammed. Purgatory and didn't get anything going especially the stuff I was working on. Came off the 5th and walked past the two groups on the 6th with the intent of going back to the clubhouse and onto the practice ground. Got to the 6th tee and saw the 15th and back nine were empty so jumped over. Relaxed, found some timing and hit the ball much better. I know what does and doesn't work in terms of what I wanted to try and so not quite the waste of time it looked. Can only assume there was some sort of society out, although not flagged anywhere, as they weren't members

Its great seeing him play solid golf. Get more joy out of seeing him play well than myself. Night before he was 1 under at the turn, but didn't play great on the back nine to end up on 2 over(his next best score). Yesterday he was 1 under, standing on the fairway on 18 but ended on bogey, but still an important moment for him to shot level par and not blow it away over the closing holes.

Bit like you said in an earlier post, you have to shot those lower scores to get comfortable with them and know you can shoot them. Adam isn't a slash your handicap kind of player, he has always slowly but surely reduced his handicap each year over the last 3-4 years.

Its a work in progress for him, but his dispersion and in particular his putting stroke is vastly improved on two months ago and over the last month with lots of practise, it looks like he is turning the corner to playing proper golf. He now needs to progress the scores to comps, as these were all supplementary cards due to work commitments at the weekend.

Very happy for him.

Technically haven't played, but my club has a competition called the Paul Cup, for which there is qualification. It's something I always forget about until they publish the qualification list to be honest. The qualification criteria is your best 3 net medal scores throughout the year, and I think the top 32 players make the grade.

Well this week they published the qualification results, and I've qualified in first place with a score of 193! Four shots clear of second place. My three scores being 62, 66 & 65, all shot between June and August too, haha. The club sec confirmed there is a prize for finishing top of the qualifying, so that is now 4 prizes I'm owed in total (one for each of the aforementioned qualifying scores in fact). The only downside is that the leaders go out first for the Paul Cup final, so I have to hit the first tee shot at 9:08 on Sunday 25th - the morning after I'll have been on the booze all day for my mate's birthday. Can't go wrong...

played with the boys today in the roll up. Played quite well and had 42 poinst (team stableford 2 to count) on my own, alas we were not in the running with only 73 point in total, with one guy getting a shot a hole and two others 14 and 16.

Two new guys i'd not played with before who where very particular about any noise. one of the other guys and i where whispering to each other some 40 yards away from one of them on the first,who then asked us to shut up! then any noise on the adjacent holes, be it Crows calling, dogs barking miles up the beach, even two old women walking a dog at least 150 yards away all got moaned at, they were so easily putt off, it got quite annoying after a while.

 

[Hobbit]

A great front nine on a very tough front nine that always beats me up. Out 2 over at the turn and into a nine that I've played 1 under par gross twice in the last few months. Cue 7 over in 9 holes. What an absolute car crash! A silly 3 putt from the front of 10, 11 & 12.... where did that come from? Steadied the ship thereafter and then took a 7 on the par 3 17th - trying to get cute with a killer pin. FIR was up with my best but GIR dropped off the planet. Putting, as you can see wasn't good.

Turned up for supper club. Watched the rain fall for two hours and came home. Had been in about 20 minutes and the sun came out and it was a lovely evening. Typical
