I was getting to that way of thinking, but last round instead of worrying about reaching greens in two, whenever I had more than 200 to the flag I just hit 7 iron and then a wedge. Really enjoyed the round and scored very well. So I've resolved just to play a different way through the rest of the winter as a kind of experiment I suppose.

Played 11 holes today, timed it perfectly to get round for 18, but I was rather cold !
So had 50 balls in the range, which is sheltered.
Irons seem to be nice and steady and the driver is showing signs of improvement.
Putting today was horrendous .. I swear my ball on several holes broke 6o degrees an inch before the hole. Never mind though I had some fresh air and a walk.

Frustrating game.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
In all honesty Ori, I was Rammel on the front 9 and just thought about hitting the irons on the second shots. That's tomorrow's plan.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable knock around Boundary Lakes at the Ageas Bowl. 40 points and very impressed with the course, especially the conditions overall given the rain recently.
Excellent £20 well spent!

Played at Stanmore Today. Very impressed with the greens, lightening quick after the recent weather and rolled well enough to say they where a little soft still.
Course is very up and down hill. Was worth the £25 without a doubt

We had a cracking 4 ball at PlaySport EastKilbride 9 hole course, supposedly all signature holes from around the UK .
Me and Virtuocity [ Dave ] thrashed my 2 mates, winning both front and back 9s and overall
. Mainly thanks to Dave 
.
Worth having a game if you're in the area, no mats or winter greens, the greens were really good, only a few winter tees but still well worth the £16 which includes a coffee and hot roll plus a bucket of balls on the driving range.

Absolutely smashed it, 41 points with at least 3-4 shots left out there currently winning on countback with 3 more groups due in, they've had the better of the weather but hopefully it'll be enough for another win, feel somewhat bad for beating the 6 handicapper on countback so if someone pips it for first i'll at least not have to feel bad for that.
Handicap just keeps coming down, soon it'll be hard to play to! expecting the CSS to go lower, therefore to get a little snip down to 20... certainly won't help for the knockout matches I have coming up.
Really tough conditions on the course today though, greens were a real mix bad some fast, some slow, some with grip and some not at all, survived a lost ball, and two shanks, starting to think i might be able to play this game.

Played at Radlett Park today, my mate's pick as it was his birthday. Complete waste of time and money as it turned out. I've never played on a softer course in my life. It was like a giant sponge. The front nine was akin to doing a Tough Mudder with a bit of golf thrown in, utterly painful. Course should have been closed really. Slapping some wet mud around is not my idea of fun.
The back nine was fractionally more playable at least, and the rain had stopped, so at least it wasn't a total write off I suppose. I managed 27 points (10 front and 17 back) and that was the best of the four of us. Awful.

Saturday roll up. 13 started but a couple bailed after 9 in the rain. I played half decently given the conditions including a rude 20 footer for birdie at the 2nd and a couple of good up and downs on the front nine. Bit sloppy on the back nine but managed to score 32 points which given the rain and the mud I'm happy with
give slow dave a humping.... he wasn;t happy

Rained basically all day and night on Friday. Thought the course would have no chance of being open but it was. Rained more when we played and the course was very very wet.
Very happy with how I played even though i only managed 26 points over the 14 holes.
2 bad drives resulted in two lost balls and no points
1 thin out of a wet bunked resulted in another lost ball and no points
The rest of the holes were mainly all pars with many looks at birdies and nothing dropped. Ball striking was brilliant and showed by playing all 4 of the par 3's in level par, hitting every one of the greens.
Its frustrating as my driving was brilliant last week and even today I hit some crackers but hit those two stinkers which definitely play on the mind more than the better ones!
Need to get some practice in this week but it is hard to motivate myself with the constant rain and wind

Played in the mud at Longhirst gc today, ironically The Lakes course. Ironic because there were lakes everywhere, even where there were not supposed to be lakes ðŸ˜. Some remarkably good stuff played, 32 points by the end. All good fun.
My pp has some nice clubs in his bag so I had a little play. I hit his M6 driver, nailed it, and a Big Bertha 4 hybrid, nailed that as well. Why does that always happen 🤔? I know full well if I went and bought them I'd be useless with them but blimey I hit them well. Must stay off Ebay, must stay off ebay 😂

Winter League 4BBB, our third match and we were solid on the front 9 (my partner in particular!) and were 5 up after 11. We halved the 12th but then we both doubled the 13th to lose the hole and lost the next two to pars to be 2 up with 3 to play and a little down in confidence but par was enough for the win on the 16th and a 3&2 win.
That puts us 3 wins from 3 with two matches lost to rain. I was playing Petron Impala Mk III 1, 3 and 5 woods (these won't be getting another outing for a while, if at all, I was rubbish off the tee!), Ben Sayers "Ray Floyd" Power Ridged irons 3 to SW and a Spalding Synchro-Line putter.
(And I had a 2 on the 10th
)

Another 9 today. Chipping still coming up short, just need to keep that in mind. Otherwise my best round on that 9 hole course, even pared 2 of the par 4 holes, one of them even as a GIR and 2 put. Thrown away some shots by quickly playing through a group of guys.
