Weekend at Greetham Valley

Played the valley course today. I thought it was in fantastic condition considering the rain we have had. Only 2 holes that were wet. Played well for a change.

Lakes course tomorrow with a hangover. 🤮

no one’s forcing you to drink mate!

32 points with two no score holes and a host of three putts. Pitched well bar one fat one from 60 yards that led to one of these no scores but didn't feel I actually swung well. On the plus side I feel the swing is now capable at getting me around respectably even at 70% functionality

Only 9 selected holes open, 6 of our roll up group turned up at 9am even though the wet weather threatened from a forecast of 11am so we planned to go around twice but when the rain started we managed to complete 14 holes and then came in.

2 x 3-balls so we played best 2 from 3 and £10 per man and I duly went home a tenner richer.

After 9 holes I was 1 under gross and was on the card all bar 1 hole, I’ve set myself a tough target for the coming season, but with my long game, especially off the tee, coupled with an already strong short game, 2020, will truly be the #YOTF 😎

Captains putt out/drive in and an 18 hole comps (best 2 from 4) off the yellows before. We had 90 and were 4th and to be honest I didn't really do much to help. Game in a bit of a lull just now but hoping some solid winter work will see me right.

1st comp and 2nd card for handicap today. Skied the driver from the 1st tee, then hit a beautiful 3 hybrid just short if the green. Walked up and couldn’t find the bloody ball. Walk of shame back, topped the hybrid, twice, and all went downhill from there. Need to take my game from the range onto the course. Lost confidence on every shot, and I had way too many of them.

Fighting an achy back due to Max winning prime position on the bed last night, wasn’t ideal for this mornings roll up, but I still rallied 37 points with 3 blobs and an Eagle 😜

My Pro Am has been cancelled at Ladbrook Park tomorrow due to their course condition, which isn’t surprising but disappointed as was looking forward it.

played the winter league at the Kings, hit the ball well out in level, but dropped 5 shots on the back 9 due to the holes on the greens, didn't miss a fairway or green, 5 3 putts, wouldn't mind but at least 3 the first putts hit the hole and lipped out:(

Over the last 6 weeks ave had 18 holes in which i wrote a rant about not being let through. Anyway today was cold, wet and windy. First tee, groundstaf are stood on the red tee levelling it of with tractor. i am 25 yards away. I never reached them. Put down a provisional and smashed it. Some of my driving and 3 woods were like sex on fire. My short game. I played like i had a vasectomy yesterday. Pitching and chipping was terrible, it was like playing in a swamp.
last couple of months during Q season i played off the yellows. Thought the course would be shorter. No they have moved the whites to the yellows, and in some instances moved the yellows back to the white mats. Driver and 3 wood and still chipping onto greens.
ON a positive, the guys who held us up the other week. They (4 ball) were on the 3rd.when we teed off. Me and tricky trev caught them up on the 7th. There was no one in front of them. They waited for us on the 10th tee and let us through. They finished 25 mins after us. Result.

Looks like your rant worked then tashy, as regards playing like you had a vasectomy ,I'm afraid I wouldn't know what that would be like and I can assure you I don't want to know

Tad frosty this morning but the breeze had dropped so it didn't feel too cold.
Very soggy but fully open so....
Good front 9, distinctly average back
20 points (+2) going out with 2 birdies but only 14 back with 1 birdie..
Could/should have been better.
That could be it for the week.
Rain coming in tonight and tomorrow will just top the levels up and it won't be worth playing...

Played this morning but had a big hail shower when we got to the 3rd all greens were covered white, I used a p/w on a few greens just to get it near the hole.
Cleared up to a fine sunny day so we just finished our round.

Played the London Club today - the International

Nice layout , excellent condition , greens running pure and nice pace

But it just lacks something , a bit bleak and lacking character

Clubhouse is pure corporate

Dead at work, so shot up to Beau with son for 18 holes. Chilly 4-5 degrees, some sun, pretty still and lovely no rain.

The greens were still rapid. First putt, 5 foot past the pin.

14 over , won the match play by 1 hole, highlight was driving the 9th par 4, followed shortly by a low point 3 putting for a solid par, flipping tricky greens.:LOL:

We both had our moments, most of which was rubbish, no lost balls. Just nice to get out in the dry.
