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).

Well done peaking at the right time.
First time playing partner at HFH so looking forward to seeing the game.

Last medal of the season for us today. Started well with a couple pars, then stumbled all the way through the front 9 to go out in 43. Tried to refocus my self on the back to get within buffer zone, not much was happening till the 16th, lovely driver down the middle, 5 iron to about 6 feet, sunk it for the Eagle. Just missed low on the 18th for a birdie.

Ended up Net 65, thought great managed to comfortably get buffer. Happy with my season, get the results through this evening, CSS went up to 67. So got a 0.6 cut and came second by a shot. Now down to my lowest of 15.5.

Been a great season for me, haven't played much due to a new addition to the family in April, so was just happy to get out when I could. Ended up playing 12 comps, buffer or better in 6 of them. Couldn't ask for anything better, considering the time I've been able to put in this year.

Bunged a stupidly stiff shaft in my driver for todays game. Cannot hit this thing at all. Bit of a fade thing going on. Once I allowed for it, fine, but it took a while, as I just kept trying to draw it. Not happening.

3 years ago, it was my favourite shaft. How? No idea. Gone back to the Even flow for the medal tomorrow.

Bet he'll look at you, make a couple of small tweaks and withing 10 minutes you'll be striping it and can leave the other balls and go have a beer
Thanks I hope your right.
I had this lesson sorted before I got hit on the head three weeks ago .
I have been having problems with my game on and off .
Think the lay off has just brought it to a head.
Back to basics for me I think.

Played in the monthly medal final yesterday. Poor front 9 of 8 over but 2 over back. Happy with the finish in testing conditions.


Found out I won golfer of the year too. Delighted to say the least. Unlikely to do that again.

Also took a lend of my mates spider x for the day. Wasnt too impressed tbh. Feels very heavy and for the life of me I couldn't get the ball to the hole. Will not be getting one any time soon.

The 0.1 from last time out meant was playing back off 10 today. Later starter so probably the tougher of the conditions, finished 3rd (no divisions), and back to singles again. 😁
Def had chance to win today, stupid OB off tee on 9 - but then us golfers always have the shots that slipped away...

I had a spider x and agree ,
Maybe on greens 12 on the stimp they are ok but some putts I couldn’t hit it hard enough.

Well done on golfer of the year Gary!

But be careful, I won the captain's putter at our place a few years back and it's been downhill ever since...

Shot 41 pts off they yellow tees on Saturday with a blob on one hole - had a lesson on Thursday night so was not expecting too much but the new swing thoughts of keeping the club more in front of me during the takeway really helped straighten out my drives and stopped me getting flippy with some (big pull draws!)

Highlight was driving to the side of the 18th green ~ 280 yard with my mates stood watching from behind the green :)

Played Tandridge in the H4H day and what a lovely course!
Played ok and was one of my best rounds with a driver off the tee for a while.
Great company from mike, Sam and fragger.

I also attended H4H. Didn’t play much golf though!

Played with the winner 3 times out of 4. So get your money on my group (not me) tomorrow.
