Up at St Andrews for the Strathtyrum Tournament, today was practice day, it was very wet (a bit of a shock after the great summer) I only played 9 holes but 4 pars and a birdie was a good confidence booster.

After a few rounds of the sh..nks I decided to bin the comp today and go out later on my own to work on them.
Started really well and no issues till the 8th when one appeared, par’d 9th, birdied 10th then car crashed 11th with 3 in a row.
Seems to be only happening with short irons and wedges.
Finished rest of round with no issues!

I played with Region3 (Gary) today in a BB Medal at Cosby GC.
I didn't come out of the traps very well leaving all the work to him, not a course I'd played before and was getting it all wrong off the tee.
I then settled down a bit after 3 shocking opening holes but just didn't feel in the zone for some reason.
I then got a great birdie on the par5 9th and I sprung into life, giving Gary the opportunity to go for some birdies from that point or we came away with a par at worse.
I then parred the Si1 and had a steady finish inbound for us to finish with 68 (Nett 71) which wasn't going to trouble anything or anyone, and although we had our rain jackets on & off all the way around, it was an enjoyable day out in good company.
A-Team on Tuesday then that's it until Friday in The Rickg Memorial Trophy Day.

Went to Wexham Park yesterday. Heck of a lot damper than we've got used to. Lost a ball with my very first tee shot - faded it right which is right next to the driving range, after checking about 27 balls that weren't mine I gave up! Felt like I played rubbish for most of it, but ended up only 4 over handicap with a 94. One good spell of three pars in a row was encouraging, at 9, 10, 11. Followed that with a triple bogey at the 12th, fairly typical of the day as a whole. Couldn't hit a tee shot and couldn't putt so it's a wonder I was under 100 really.

Played Saturday in a comp. A typical round of two halves - very good front nine with 21 points and a disaster of a back nine with 10 points 
This game is so infuriating and soul destroying; back out tonight though, so I get to scratch my itch again

Got away with it yesterday. We were due to play Bidston and right up to our tee time it was forecast as heavy rain and lightning. Decided to play and didn't get a drop of rain. 10 minutes after we finished the heavens opened and there were floods everywhere.
Played Hickorys today with 3 very experienced Hickory players, better ball we whipped em with a dog Licence. played pretty well for a 5 over gross, though admittedly off the yellow. no wind to speak of on the front but then a bit of an easterly on the back, which made 10, 12,13 15,16 and 18 into 3 shotters though 10 and 18 are par 5's anyway

Played in the Jude Brady Charity day at Centurion Club today
It’s my first time back there since Rick passed away and felt sad when I arrived because Ricks personality filled the club up to ensure it didn’t have the corporate feel about it
They have one of his Orkas on the wall for a Memorial Trophy , remember when these arrived he loved them and the putter
As for the golf - played pretty well , but was disappointed with the course , he doesn’t seem to have matured well over the past couple of years , fairways were very patchy but expected in this weather but the greens were some of the worst I have played this year - not great to putt on at all

Played club match on Saturday which was a better ball format. I had been hitting it well in warm up but got onto the course and tempo was a mess. Really in and out all the way round but I chipped, pitched and putted brilliantly. There's a sentence I don't write very often! Alas my partner on the day had an absolute howler and so for many holes I was taken both opponents. Couldn't hold off the inevitable and lost 4&3 although the club are currently 4.5 - 1.5 ahead with the home leg to come.
That said being on the road at 4.45 on Friday and a late arrival home meant I was physically and mentally tired so maybe simply ran out of steam on the course. Have to say I've been critical of Tylney Park and it's set up in the past but the course at the weekend was as good as I've seen it and the greens were excellent.

A team yesterday against Lutterworth.
The team won overall and I'm still unbeaten and should top the order of merit now for the year.
Bit streaky in places, especially off the tee, but I scramble very well, my up & down stats are much better than my handicap suggests, I can be off the fairway with a drive, chip out and then still walk away with a par or nett par at worse.
Playing in the semi-final of a big board comp later this afternoon, I've got 8 shots

Re: I played today and......
played Royal Aberdeen as a members guest. Golf rubbish, company and course first rate.
shame about the old boy with the caddie that held us up for 9 holes as a single

I have been playing in the Strathtyrum Tournament this week, Monday on the Eden course, I couldn't get a good run going I had quite a few pars and a birdie but every 4 or 5 holes, I would stick in a double or triple bogey finished up 4 over my handicap.
on Tuesday on the New Course it was a similar story, but my downfall this time were bunkers, 3 times I hit woods into greens only to find bunkers, on each occasion I came off with a triple or worse so with a couple of 9s and an 8 on my card my score was horrendous, the annoying thing is that I played pretty well, although after the 2nd 9 on a par 3 I did give up somewhat.

Usual Wednesday bash with Fragger and CVG..
Got my driver and woods/hybrids and short game working well but I couldn't hit an iron shot to save my life.....
Still. 19 out and 18 back made it a good day
Fragger hopes Barney Puttick is a God and smiles on him....

Holiday knock with my brother at the Isle or Purbeck, long game was ok, but I missed it in a couple of bad places, short game was poor, course was ok, but good to have my yearly knock with my brother.

Played nine holes last night. Very windy and the swing was decidedly wonky after a busy day in work and a nightmare commute. Some good stuff in there amongst some rubbish. Need more consistency and a few issues to sort. Captain's day on Saturday and so a big kitty and prize to aim for

Wasn't going to play in our 9 hole social this evening as I didn't get to the club until 6pm and the weather was lousy with worse forecast. However, 2 other guys turned up at the same time so we went out together. Hooked my first tee shot to the edge of the tree line then chopped it out sideways straight in to my trolley. Looked likely to blob the first from there but sunk a twelve footer to save a point. Only one other double in the round and finished with 20 points to take the third place money.

Played the castle course at St Andrews today, really enjoyed it some great holes and great views, only downside was that I thought some of the greens were a bit over the top, one of our fourball hit a putt that went down, then up, then down again, then up again before reaching the hole
Greensomes Quarter final last night.
won 3 and 2, but so slow, i swear i spent most of the 3 and half hours watching one of them faf about with grip stance and stand over the ball for a good 2 mins before hitting the ball.
if we hadn't won on 16th i doubt we would have finished the game before it got dark..
I thought greens somes was supposed to be quick thats the last too games taking and age. last nights over 3 and a half and the one before 4 hours

Lost in the semi final of a big board Comp last night.
Tightest match-play battle I’ve ever been in, I was +1 all the front 9 and turned all square then -1 the back 9 losing by 1 shot on the 18th when a par was no good!
Turning point that took the wind out of sails a little was my birdie on the 10th that was beaten by his eagle
Never more than a 1 shot variable in it all the way around.
I was absolutely knackered as I came off, felt like I’d run a marathon not played 18 holes.
But what a match, I was 2nd too many times in board comps last season, I’m starting to have flashbacks already

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Tashyboy and the owd course faced one another like Centurians, sorry but had to get that in. Anyway, Tashyboy whispered one of us is goin down today, "there's gonna be casualties". Tashyboy walked off the first with three points, it was gonna be tashyboys day. A blob on the second made sure the owd course was gonna have its say on matters. After 9 holes Tashyboy had spanked it for 20 points and left at least three more out there.
The back nine followed and it was steady steady steady until a missed 18" putt for three points unsettled Tash, was this the courses fight back. Not if the mighty Tash had owt to do with it. Three points on the 16th, put Tash in the driving seat. Coming down the 18th Tash had already pocketed enough points to ensure a small cut but would Tash crumble under pressure playing that last hole for a memorable score. A par five that has caused Tash so many sleepless nights nights. Well a seven iron, nay a thing of beauty with a wand from 150yds to 12 ft an two putts for par ensured that Tashyboy walked off with another 20 points on the back nine for a big up yer pants 40 points. Ensuring that for one day only.
TASHYBOY IS THE MAN.
Playing off 20.5 could well mean that for the first time Tashyboy will be playing off an official handicap of 19. Boom
ps, why is everything now flippin in bold.
