Two rounds of Hickory golf against two Royal Aberdeen Members, home and away. Weather was fantastic, shirt sleeves both days..

FYI, lost both days... anyone who thinks Royal Aberdeen is a tough course should try hickorys around there:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: i think i might be giving up:unsure::ROFLMAO:

Got 7 holes in today, men’s senior pairs comp had the course from 8am till 13:30. I got out at 14:20 and they were still on course. I was held up by two ladies, one called it a day on 7 but I was walking to 8 and the other was carrying on, so I quit as well knowing if I did not it would be dark before I got to 17! Bit of a shame as I was on a roll, back to back birdies on 6 and 7.

Played Royal North Devon today...drizzle on the way there, played in bright sunshine. Very enjoyable. At least 20 years since previous visit. DRY underfoot too...31 points, more unhappy with that.

RND on my bucket list to play - along with the 2 Saunton courses and Burnham. I know RND has mixed opinions, but i called in there 2 years ago on hol, and it looked great, with the fab history in the clubhouse.

Another incomplete round today. Yesterday some seniors pairs comp from 8-13:30. Today a visiting group from 9 till 10:30 and then Senior booking from 11:15-12:30.
Got stuck behind the last group which was a 5 ball, and were struggling to move.
Getting fed up of this tomorrow the tee is booked until 12 for the ladies.
Thinking I might ask for the seniors to be limited after 11 am so that rounds can be completed.

so you were lying then???

its was dry that has to be a posiitive:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: did you lose any balls:unsure:

Would have been better if it was raining then I could have stayed at home, that would have been a positive :ROFLMAO:

Thought I would try a Z Star which didn't make it past the 7th.....either in the heather left or the big puddle just in front of it :rolleyes:

I played in a Texas scramble ( great fun lots of banter) and my driving was absolute rubbish. God knows what my score would have been in an individual event- but I putted beyond my ability and my approach shots were very good.
I really did contribute well.
Strange, because the day before on the range my driving was the best. It was really good. - get to the course and it goes to crap!!
Funny game.😀

Maybe you should take one of those fat rubber driving range tees out on the course with you. :p

Played Bude today...good weather apart from 15 mins of monsoon and squall... were charged a tiny £23pp on our Welsh County Cards... Greens were better than RND on Tuesday. (£50pp)

I always enjoy Bude. No world beater, but has enough to make it worth the trip.
I like it there too. Always given a really warm welcome by the staff and members. We use to stay at the Inn on the Green which use to be at the bottom of the course by the 4th tee (par 3) but I think that has long since closed. Bude is a very honest upfront sort of club with no pretence to be grander than it is or with any airs about it. Were I down that way I could see me joining there quite easily

Game with the boys today, really nice morning, bright sunshine though chilly for the first couple of holes.

played OK, much better than with the Hickory's the other day, only 3 over with a 3 Birdies, we were leaders in the clubhouse by 6 shots as a 3 ball (two to count) still 4 fourballs to come in.

played with Matt Pink Supersoft ball, few bounced though the green, but ball great for the soft ish condidtions .

New G 3 wood arrived so I went down the driving range with that and my 20 hybrid since I didn't hit that very well last week, and screw hitting the same one club 50 times anyway. Liking the 3 wood, I think it's going to be a good addition. Woods off the deck is not my specialty at all, but I did hit some absolute bullets with this, lovely flight. Found something with the hybrid as well where maybe my arms were a little tense, and if I consciously relaxed them with a little kind of 'arm waggle' I struck the shot nicely.

Couple of pints and a lamb burger and spicy chips in the Asian/Italian fusion restaurant afterwards, lovely stuff.
