I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

[Coffey]

Played twice this weekend.

Saturday I played on our shorter course - 13 hole winter competition. You have absolutely no chance of winning if you are a lower handicap. The winning score over the 13 holes this week was 35. I had 25 and actually played alright, few missed putts and poor tee shots but overall happy. We played all 18 and I finished on 8 over.

On Sunday I played our main course in an 18 hole comp. Played really well and shot 76 for 5 over, my best score in a long time. Drove the ball brilliantly and hit some good iron shots but had a few dodgy ones in there too where I hit them fat. Short game was great though and kept the round going. Just need to tighten up the irons and would have been delighted. Managed to make 6 bogies from the centre of the fairway.. 2 3 putts

had a game awith Slow Dave at lunchtime at Nairn. Mainly because it was a nice afternoon.

didn't hit the ball particularly well, went i quite a few bunkers and got up and down every time, even went in two on the 7th (550 yards)and still made par.

only real dissapointment was the amount of divots on the fairways, now we have only been on mats for two weeks and every old one had been filled by the greenstaff since then.... so why are numpties still hitting from the middle of the fairway.

Probably because they're so full of self-importance that they don't think the rules apply to them!

Match on Saturday - I lost. Now I don't mind losing matches if I am well beaten by the better player - or if I know I'm struggling with my game and it was never going to be. I have been struggling with my game - but getting over it.

And on Saturday most of what I've been struggling with was just fine. But blow me - what let me down was my chipping and putting - and it is those aspects which have stayed good through the bad times. So I feel I let myself down.

OK I was giving a 14 handicapper 8 shots - but I can cope with that - and he used them fine - and that's good too - but when I am taking 3 to get down from the fringe on 15 - when down in 2 would have won the hole - and three putting from 10ft on 16th - when 2 putts would have won the hole - and I lose 2 and 1...grrrr. Anyway - it's just a game - and just as well.

All I can say is that judging by the state of the zoo today I'd hate to see it when it's closed........
Due out Wednesday and Thursday and no real rain due before then but I bet it's still borderline....

 

[harpo_72]

played yesterday dropped 7 shots in 3 holes .. and still played to my handicap.
Just need to reduce that and it will all fall into place !
Iron play has improved, driving was okay but room for improvement.
2x 3 putts weren't helpful so that needs sorting out.

Played at RSD on sat, wife/mum in a buggy, I walked and hack my way round. Lost 4 balls(2 off the 10th again), found 7 balls on the right of the 10th tho and saw a castle, so not all bad

Was hacking off the tee and fairway, short game red hot, got 3 birdies which is a first for me there (5th, 7th, 8th).

What is going on at the moment tho, wife now son, hope bad luck doesn't run in threes, as whilst at rsd, son was playing golf with friends at Llany and got knocked out cold by a ball hitting the back of his head , up A&E until 1am, ct scan, overnight stay in hospital, concussed and today is the first day he is feeling less fuzzy and clearer vision. Hopefully on the mend,

Jeez, that’s awful! Best wishes!

Day off work so booked in a lesson a while ago. Basically, I crept up to th eball and are standing so close to it that I can't swing the club properly.
Driving to my club after and having a 9 hole by myself. Finally got some good holes going, but overall still not quite there. Need to rework distances, especially on chipping.

Sounds nasty, hope he's ok in the long run

 

[RangeMonkey]

Risked a few gentle chips from the living room carpet onto the sofa. Ribs feel ok, but that’ll be all for another few days, to be safe...then I might try some carpet putting...

That's awful. Hopefully he'll feel fine in a few days but keep a close eye on him. Concussion is a funny beast.

Hope he is ok .
I got hit knocked out it took me about six weeks to feel back to normal.
Biggest problem is getting out of bed in the morning .
He needs to take his time sit on the bed until dizziness goes.
It made me physically sick my head was spinning that much.
So something to throw up in will save a lot of cleaning up.
Concussion is nasty and he needs to be careful when he is alone .
Plenty of rest in a dark room as the bright light affected me a lot.

Thanks for the details. Other than the sick feeling, that is what the son is like. Kind of good to hear it is only 'normal'. He is definitely improving over the last couple of days.

Thanks for all of your posts, cheers.

Cannot see me entering any comps over the winter. Our yellow tees have not moved. Some have gone further back. Some.of my drives yesterday were sublime. Yet hit the fairway and stop. Drive,3 wood and still 50 short of green. Nope, just gonna enjoy me golf this winter

Solo today in the frost.....was a tad nippy.
Course still very soft in places but ok mostly.
Started with 4 pars then a double bogey and a birdie, par, bogey, birdie to finish the 9 at +1....nice!
Par, par, bogey, birdie, par, par, bogey, par, par coming home to finish at +2 (75) for my best ever score around the Zoo.
Happy days.
