Good to hear your back playing after your operation 👍

Pity about the 9 and 6, could have been very close between us.

Think I’m 17.3 now with 2 comps. this weekend

Final of the Foursones at the Kings (torvean) last night, giving away 10 shots.
we were against two young guy who were apparently big hitters. the round didn't start well, my PP blocked the first tee shot straight into the trees on the right, first time he has missed a fairway in any of out matches, lucky for us out opp did the same, but being big hitters that was gone and we found ours and won the hole witha 5.there is then an anomaly on the card where stroke 3 and one are next to each other so our oppo where getting 3 shots in a row, we lost the 2nd, won the 3rd with a birdie. from then on holes were either won or lost, no halfs as we producded some of our worst golf of the comp. we found ourselves 2 down after 14. We then won the last 4 holes with some good golf to win, particularly pleaseing to win 17 and 18 where they got shots, 17 with a birdie which is a 475 yard par 4.

Alas there is no Board to commemorate our win

Ta.

At one point (6 holes to play) I was 4 strokes better than h/c and could have been looking at a cut of 1.2 which would have got me down to 17.1. Ah well, then came the 9 and it was not to be - and your fiver is safe. I can't think that CSS will change to get me a better cut than 0.3 which gets me down to 18.0. Definitely no more comps before H4H on Monday.

Shame is that I pulled out of the H4H day because of the knee op - didn't think I'd be capable of playing. Turns out the knee is good & I could have managed it.

Lovely afternoon at Beau Desert, it really is a superb course but the greens are so tricky, I played pretty well as did the team, we were fine except for 2 blobs, the par 3 3rd where balls were just not sticking on the green and the very short par 4 10th which we contrived to completely mess up despite 2 of us hitting great drives.

Think that's my favourite short par 4 hole(on any course), such a high risk/reward shot if you go for the green. Taking the easier lay up option, is far from a certain par either due to the shot to the green. Great short par 4 hole.

If you fancy playing Beau at anytime, sure Joanne would take you over there. Joanne almost played yesterday on the Beau ladies normal social, but had to work instead(ha ha).

Well, I was wrong... CSS did change to +1 so I got a cut of 0.6 - now down to 17.7. Not enough to save the fiver, but it's my lowest ever! Yeaaaay.

Think Richart was looking for two more to fill spaces. Might be worth a PM if you can find a way to do it

Played the Oxfordshire today. I know it marmite but it’s a nice change of pace to play to there compared to my heathland track. Always in fantastic condition and today was sunny with no breeze.

We were called through by a 4 ball on a par 3 over water and I stuffed my 8 iron to 2 feet to the applause of the gallery (4 can be a gallery right? 😆)

Beat my mate 5&4 , a triple, a few doubles but lots of pars and 2 birdies.

Thanks, its a bit of a trek just for a bounce game though to be honest, will try and get down for one of the opens next year.

BD is a lovely course, we have it on reciprocal from Coxmoor. Had a nice round against 2 members a few months ago. Local knowledge and a few members bounces saw them win out 2&1 😀

penultimate medal at Ellesmere today, started of nicely but a couple of poor shots and a disaster on the 8th finished me off even though I did play nicely on the back nine, the damage had already been done.

The disaster was a mixed of poor judgement and a bit of misfortune, the 8th is a par 5 I had hit a decent drive that was about a yard off the fairway but when I got to my ball it was between 2 tuffty bits of grass so no clean shot with my 3 wood, but I wanted to get over the ditch across the fairway to give me an easier shot to the green so instead of changing clubs and playing safe I went with the wood and stuck it into the penalty area. One of my FCs found a ball buried in the grass and it was the same model and number as mine so I went to play it and got it out onto the fairway but when I went to play my next shot I could see that it wasn't my ball, so 2 shot penalty plus another shot as the ball must have been lost in the PA and I found myself way back form the green playing 6! ended up taking a 10.

I really enjoyed The Oxfordshire. Some fabulous holes, I can only presume you got on the 17th in 2 😉😂

I got to the bunker about 20yrds left of the green in 2 and I was pleased enough with that @Lincoln Quaker until I thinned it out of there about 30yrds past the pin 😆

Hoping to play Coxmoor this autumn/winter, how does it hold up and play over winter or would we be better waiting until the spring ? Know upsidedown posted on here its a really friendly place and good course, so been on my play list.

cheers.

We tend to have temps on many greens in winter to protect them , fairways generally drain well in most weather. Course is as good as it been all summer at the moment - dm me if you want a knock I’ll sign you in 👍🏻

Got a quick 18 in this evening to try out my new Spalding Model W hickory putter, the rest of the bag was Dunlop Roberto de Vicenzo from the 1970s.

Anyway, the putter performed like a dream, I holed so many putts in the 6 to 20 feet range it was unreal, can't wait for my next hickory game!

Shot of the day though was a three iron from the tee on the 17th which I striped straight down the middle, just over 230 yards according to my GPS, the best I've hit one for a long time.

Up early to play in a stableford qualifier this morning (before racing over to see Leicester v Spurs). Kept it together for a whole qualifying round for the first time this year (well apart from a blob on the last) and came home with 39 points. Probably should have been mid-40s, but my putting was poor as usual and left a number of shots out there. Looking forward to my first cut of the year and should now be playing off of 22 for the first time (just in time for H4H).
