Played the Kings at Gleneagles today. Not sure about the 1st and 3rd but thought the rest of the course was fantastic.

What an odd round today. First eight I was dire, scored so badly that I can't even remember what I shot, but then nine through to eighteen I was 3 over gross.
Nothing much seemed to change during the round either.

Kings is tremendous, first is a very hard second shot to judge, uphill, huge green. Good hole though.

Best day at the range so far. 43% of balls hit clean(ish) and straight enough to be pleased with, with a mix of 6 iron to SW and 5 hybrid. Another 36% that at least went straight-ish (if perhaps hit thick or thin). So only about 20% wayward. Two weeks ago it was the other way round!
I’m feeling a bit better about taking on the 9 holes (par 3) this weekend in my first ever outing.

Don't overthink getting out and playing "real" golf. We've all been there and it'll be messy but that's par of being a new golfer

15 points on the front nine, a bit of good bad and ugly. Wind picked up on the back nine and I smashed it for 20 points. Missed a six footer by a blade of grass on the last. Our SI 1 is 540, first time I have been on the green in 3 this year 8ft from the pin. Missed putt by a blade of grass. Happy days golfing. Close to a good score again.

Well I’m glad that I gave the 440s another chance in tonight’s 9 hole roll-up, I put together one of my best rounds of the year (which isn’t saying much…) to score 1.5 shots nett under par off my roll-up handicap. I’m now the proud holder of the brass man for a week and won 5 balls into the bargain. No great achievement as there are only 20 odd players in the roll-up but when your season has been like mine you’re thankful for anything!
Funny thing was, not only was I playing a weird set of woods and irons but for tonight I put my Swilken Gem putter n the bag which I think someone has “adapted†at some time in it’s life as I’m sure it has negative loft. And, I started the round using an old Penfold Commando ball, however, after three holes with this I decided I was losing too many yards so switched to a Callaway Supersoft.

Managed to play Sherwood last night, wrapped up about 7.30pm. After hearing about it, from people we have spoken to, it was great and would recommend it to others to play. Lots of work going on a new practise area and to the car park already, looks like it is going to be really nice.
Course looked lovely with the heather out in flower and had a good laugh on the 1st when the son topped two in the heather in front of the clubhouse.
Shot 10 over, driver was working again, chipping good, putter not so good, started with a 3 putt bogey and finished with the a 3 putt bogey, couple of birdies.
Enjoyed the course and some great holes, will return as it is a steal price to play.

DRW hope you dont mind me asking. How much for the round. I enquired about 60 of us going next year and was quoted £65 plus food and £10 prize money. decided to stay at norwood for £40 all in.Managed to play Sherwood last night, wrapped up about 7.30pm.

Its good isn't it. Some cracking holes but I find the back 9 a real challenge as its long par 4 after long par 4.Managed to play Sherwood last night, wrapped up about 7.30pm.

That driving range has taken ages to complete.

Talking to a pal who is a member there. They apparently grassed the range with a hemp like stuff. Two days later it rained cats and dogs and washed the lot off. 😖
He said sherwood is hopung the range will Bring in more members. Time will tell i suppose.

We were playing on a reciprocal, as a result priced differently.
I did notice when I was looking on their website that they do a £170 for a 4 ball including breakfast from the 1/10/19(really good price) and on their online booking system an August 4 ball was £270(same as a 3 ball price, not sure if that is an error, seemed a bit strange?).
For the quality of course/clubhouse £65 is a good price, however it would be to much for the society I do, so can understand your point about remaining at a £40 deal.
Would have thought that the course would be nice to play all year round and would imagine great to be a member of.
Oh assumed that it had been started this year.
there are some wooden bays up now(not in use, the practise area by the 16th was still being used) and some of the car park tarmac etc looked like it had only just been done.We played from the yellows(summer roll), so wasn't playing overly long. The par 5s were playing short, which offset the long par 4s and I had looks at eagles on a couple of those.
Really liked the 12th, a fantastic sweeping par 4, do like a sweeping dogleg hole but a lot of holes I really liked, a must go back to course. I preferred the look of it to Notts but think I preferred playing Notts (going to have to play both again to fully decide), both had lovely clubhouses.

Yeah i played Sherwood a few weeks ago too. Thought it was a very good track but found the pace on the green to be inconsistent.

DRW, played it twice, once in April. Went out about 11.00 there was a morning frost which was gone by the time we played. Pro said there may be a few temp greens. They were all temps bar the 18th. We were gutted. Some temps were 40 yds in front of original bunker surrounded greens.. Quite frankly it was Rammel. Second time I played it was biblical rain, we got to the 18th and the greens were swimming. Again I was gutted. But hey ho. Both times were freebies.
I used to caddy there when I was a sprogg. Didnt know of the kudos of the place when I was a kid 😖

Played Ganton yesterday; wow, what a tough course!
Shot 31 points, couldn’t hole a putt 🤬but drove the ball beautifully.ðŸ‘
I don’t know if I’d want to play there too often, as it’s mentally tiring when trying to keep it in play and avoid the many deep bunkers🤔

Solo this morning so tried a few things. Different ways of playing some holes, trying different clubs and shots
Irons are getting more consistent but I'm still prone to the odd mahoosive hook.
Played decently, no birdies but lots of pars.

2 days ago played a casual round with a guy who was hitting it miles with a range ball he'd 'borrowed' from a nearby driving range.
Tried one myself on one hole yesterday on a course where a ball had exited the range, and hit the green in regulation.

Played fantastically today in our bogey comp (matchplay vs net par). Finished 4 up for a nice handicap cut, and received an exceptional scoring reduction on top of that as well.
People who played with me in the Rick G day will be glad to see my handicap heading lower, now down to 21.8
Highlight was playing an 8 iron to lay up short of a bunker, then having that 8 iron roll out to a nice 180-190 yards leaving me bang in the middle of the very trap I wanted to avoid. Great day good scoring from lots of players, heres for hoping more of the same tomorrow.
