Very palatable knocks round Sweetwoods Park and Lewes the last few days for 34 points and 38 respectively.
Driver starting to work its magic and the Putter is beginning to remember what it's supposed to do with a solitary 3 putt today.
All starting to come together now I've got a ridiculously busy November / December and might just about manage to squeeze in 2 rounds more this year! Always the way!

played Ok but soundly beaten by slow Dave, so had to buy him lunch.... course playing very long esp the back 9 intothe wind

I was surprised the course was open today, given the all clear around 7.30 but a lot of rain between then and when I got there at 12.00 meant the first tee had standing water all over it. Luckily the rain stopped just before we teed off and the course did drain a little as we went round but still extremely wet, in view of which I was quite happy with my 34 points.

Weather was horrendous when I woke up this morning, but we still decided to go to our booking at Stockley Park. Wasn't a bad decision in the end because the rain had pretty much stopped by the time we teed off. Was extremely windy, but we only had drizzle for the odd hole then back to dry again. It was all fine and we thought we'd got away with it, until the 18th where it absolutely drenched us. Typical. At least we were able to get a swift pint in to console ourselves without delay.
As for the golf, I started well, only 3 over after 5 holes, but then I had a really difficult 'middle section' from 6th to the 13th, with six holes double or worse. Parred 15, 16 & 17 on the trot though which was a nice run, then doubled the last after the heavens opened. 31 points in the end, 92 gross, not too awful really. Never holed a decent putt all day until the 17th. Driving was the full spectrum from shocking to great. Hit hybrids well especially off the tee. Duffed a lot of pitches because of the mud. Had worse days.

Course still saturated but was open as it was Winter League.
4BBB, we were 2 down after 3 and I was hitting it awful but we leveled on the 6th, went two up on the 11th and held that until we won the 15th and then halved the 16th for a 3&2 win.
I need to change my routine for these early morning Winter League starts, taking 4 holes to find a swing doesn't help!

Was invited by a colleague to play Beaconsfield Golf Club today. Great course and in exceptionally good condition given the rain we’ve had around here in London. Especially the greens that were in better condition than what the greens at my home course is during peak season.
Played really well, but jumped on the bogey train the last five holes and ended up with 34 points.

It’s a lovely course isn’t it,
and speaking to my client who invited me to play there, the changes will make it better

Indeed is! Counting my card up again on my way home and found I actually had 36 points, and not 34. Makes me a bit annoyed about the last 5 holes then. If your home course has greens like that in November, you can consider yourself a lucky golfer. Hope to get another invite at some point.

First round today at my new home for the winter/rest of autumn. Course in impressive condition considering the recent weather and greens really good. I wimped out of playing in the qualifying medal, but made up a three ball with 2 other ex Carswell who were. To be filled in the "never to happen again" box, I then proceeded to have three 2s (as not entered in 2s comp)! Probably only "deserved" one of them to be fair. Ended with 33 pts so pretty pleased.

Travelled to RSD, it had hammered down over night and on route, stopped about 5 minutes from the course and didn't have much hope of it being open. But just opened as we arrived, off 10 minutes later than booked, lots of water around but open, happy days, no mud have to love sand based courses.
Sunny intervals and no wind.
Mum and wife proceeded to find most of the bunkers, it become a running joke. I hit the ball fairly well, lost one ball on 17(again, grrr) and with great skill, I managed to 2 putt every green on the course, 14 over.

Abject. Worse ever stableford score and even then managed to miss our "bitch of the day rosette by a point. No idea what happened. Hit balls in warm up ok and then couldn't hit one for toffee on the course. Only positive was my pitching off muddy lies which I've been working hard on

North Oxford 🙂 Have to say the admin team have been great, and everyone we've met have been really welcoming. Can't ask for more really.

I love the place, was a member there for a couple of years, always in decent condition IMO.
The clubhouse is always welcoming and friendly as are the members, I’m sure you will enjoy it There.
