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

After not picking up the clubs for a month, and having 25 points last time out I went up to Lewes on Friday with a new 3 wood and low expectations! Walked off with 37 points and the best putting I've taken to course in months. Other highlights include a 4i/PW/Putter birdie on the dogleg par 4 11th, a 230 yard 3 wood on the 15th and a hybrid 15 yards short of the green on the (albeit very downhill!) par 5 16th. Happy days!

Shot a -1 par 71 at my place yesterday. Which, given the heat I’m quite pleased with.

Played a scratch cup at Armagh on Sunday. 36 holes in the heat was tricky. Actually hit the ball great in the first round but my putting was the worst it’s ever been. On the front 9, I 3 putted 7 holes. Managed to recover with only 1 on the back 9.

Considered not going out for the second 18 but wanted to fix my putting. Ball striking not as good but only 1 3 putt left me feeling happy. Managed to have 2 2’s as well so will see what that brings me. Still scored terribly all the same as I got tired and finished double, bogey, triple, triple.

Stableford today, started well putted a lot better than yesterday but the 0.1 collection continues 😂

Course management 😳

Anyone playing rubbish at the moment please take solace in the latest "Bad Golf" Vlog with Horne & Robins.

Day 2 of my little Scottish trip, played Nairn today.

 

[USER1999]

Played my first round this year with the Browning 440 woods and irons. The 440s irons were ground breaking and influential clubs that set a short lived trend for low profile, low CoG irons.
The woods just look peculiar!

They take a but of getting used to and are, I think, the only set of irons I have with noticeable offset.
I scored rubbish! Think I'll give them another outing on Thursday in the 9 hole roll-up and then put them away for another year, or I might give them an outing in a Winter League match.

A Browning bag too!

3 wood, 3 iron and pitching wedge. The pitching wedge is particularly disconcerting to look down on as it just doesn't appear to have enough loft...

Seriously ugly irons there Nick.

Burn them!

Isn't golf weird. Went out for a few holes yesterday evening. Lovely it was.

On our 9th I hit a stonking drive - miles straight down the middle - and the swing felt really good. A par resulted. As I walked to the 10th tee I could 'feel' my good swing from the 9th in my body - something felt really good. When standing over the ball at address we often 'know' if things feel right or wrong, but never had I felt so 'right' just walking from green to tee - I could feel or sense my really good driver swing from the previous tee shot in me. I stood on the tee, addressed the ball - and creamed it straight down the middle.

Mind you I get a similar sense of things to come (foreboding) in a similar way when I have hit a LL...

I really thought that story was going to end with a duff. That's how it normally goes for me. Feeling confident and free as I ever have... duff.

Yes - that was what I was thinking - and what often happens as I try and do a swing to repeat what I think I had done on the previous tee shot. And of course what I think I did is nothing like what I actually did. But this time I just addressed the ball and without really thinking at all - smack - away it went - as I knew it would. It was rather weird.

Quick 9 holes last night, swinging like a mad man, hit the ball pants, got away with every bad shot, chipped well, sunk 3 mid-long putts, walked off level par.

Hard to get satisfaction from playing like that.

I'd have taken it. Golf gives me enough rubbish luck that I have no qualms about taking the good luck when it comes.

I took it and was grateful for the breaks, I won the matchplay with son/wife due to it

9 holes this morning. Started like an absolute train, 14 points for the first 5 holes, and the closest I have ever come to a hole in one - 6 iron on our second, one bounce, hits the pin but screws left rather than dropping into the hole!

Wheels came off after the first 5, blobbed 6 and 7, but managed to get to 18 for the 9 holes.

Funny thing was my driving was pretty poor - had a lesson last week, and made major changes to my swing which is working great for my irons, but seems to be having a negative impact on my driving.

oh how I laughed when both playing partners asked how the hell have you made it into the semi final of the knockout this year 😂

To be fair there are more than a few on here thinking the same thing.

A win, at last another win!! And by 3 shots from the rest of the field.

A couple of silly decisions cost a couple of shots, a couple of silly 3 putts cost a couple of shots and a lost ball cost a couple of shots. A freshening breeze, and still played to handicap.

Well chuffed.

 

[Imurg]

Stumbled to 15 points on the front thanks to a couple of pars on shot holes.
2 blobs caused by extremely dodgy drives....
Back 9 started better after a bogey at 10, picking up 17 points in the next 8 including another blog.
Fairly happy with 33, irons better but still variable at best.
Ground is rock hard at the moment. My 190 had hybrid pitched and bounded on another 40!.
Going solo for a while now as CVG is away and Fragger's working for a living.....

Supper club. 14 points. Decent scoff

3 over through 3 this evening and finished 5 over. Level par back 9.

Greens have been bad for a while now. Let it get to me on the front 9 but dug in and battled back.
