All local clubs need to stick together and this shows.
I only hope there is no lasting damage at Sleaford. Seeing the pics wasn’t good.

Which course did you play?
I had the monthly stableford. 30 points but hit it better than that. Putter was ice cold - no sorry crap. 41 putts a season high. Started so well with a 4 iron that pitched a foot from the hole and left a six footer that I converted. It could only go downhill and did. Enjoyed myself and a really nice group to play in. Try again in the roll up tomorrow

Yeah it’s a sad sight, I drop down at the weekends for something to eat but it’s tough to look out at what ought be the fairway you’re enjoying and seeing the gulls enjoying it instead.
No idea about the damage we won’t know til the water recedes. They pumped out and exposed the 13th green but it filled back in overnight. Sickener. Time will tell but in the meantime it’s great to see clubs like yours supporting us, thanks again ??

Cheers for that. I wasn't aware they changed the set up in 2015

I think there was only ever one eighteen though. They used to have two nines which was the 'red' and the 'green', but when they changed it they scrapped the red (although recycled some of the old red holes to be part of the new blue course) to put a Footgolf in. Green still exists over the other side of the road.

Thats what I remember - two nines. Didn't know they had footgolf. Not for me. Don't really like the place so been a long time since I was there
On a separate note - usual roll up today. Very windy made the conditions very tricky. Felt really lousy when I woke up and hoped the fresh air would help. Nope and felt out of sorts all day but managed to get it round in 30 points. Putting has been very off all weekend and shows that not working on it regularly makes a difference. On the plus side it was mid pack and my three scraped the 3 ball team prize. We have a "bitch" for the lowest score and winner takes all the cash but has to buy everyone a drink and the bitch has to provide table service fetching them and clearing up the empties. Thought I'd be in the hunt for the accompanying rosette the loser has to wear in the clubhouse too so pleasantly surprised to be mid-table

Christmas stableford on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Saturday always more popular, but I could only play Sunday. Only 15 entries. Non qualifier, pick and place through the general area due to the muddy and wet course.
38 / 38 gross for 40 PTS playing off 9!
Beaten to second place on countback!

Winter League 4BBB matchplay, I was playing:
Mizuno White Fang graphite late 1980s era 1, 3 and 5 woods
Dunlop Peter Thomson mid 1970s era 3 to SW
Dunlop Peter Thomson putter, late 1950s era
I didn't feel a swing all day and was never comfortable with the putter, on top of that one of their guys had a great day chipping and putting so we did well to only lose 1 down.
I thought I was going to have a 5 footer on the last to win the hole and halve the match but their guy holed a right to left breaking 18 footer to seal it.

Weekend medal, drove it well. Hit irons well on front 9, missed a few good birdie opportunities. Hung on back 9 into the cold wind, birdied last for a nett 66.... lost on count back!
Seems like I’m going back in the right direction again.

Day off today, just been down 9 of Herts for a practise knock. Only took a half set of 7 clubs. There was a really strong wind up and it was very muddy but I still knocked it round pretty well for a 6 over par 38 (three pars six bogeys).

First time on a course in two decades. Quick 9 holes at Farnham Park (Farnham Par 3, not Stoke Poges!) - bit muddy but really enjoyed it. Even birdied a couple of holes, which I've never done, ever!

Played a new course for me today
The Berkshire Red...oh my what a glorious place to play golf.
Started at 11.30 so didnt get to sample the delights the kitchen had to offer.
Big thanks to Dando, Chris and Mark for the excellent company and banter.
Played pretty well to accumulate 34 points on a pretty breezy day
It was almost like playing two courses in one...the Greenkeepers were ironing the greens almost as we left them until we got onto the back 9
They'd jumped ahead of us and the speed of the greens doubled instantly...made for some interesting putting
What a good day.........

Yes thank you and you ask any of the our Sunday roll up what their sole aim is each week and it's simply to avoid the rosette and finishing last. The banter is fierce and those giving it one week soon get it the next if they fail epically. We have visitors asking what's going on and no-one (without exception) has seen anything wrong and nothing but banter. We have had new members of the club see the craic and ask to join the roll up. No-one takes any offence. The rosette has "best bitch" from a dog show one of our members shows his dogs at and it's firmly part of the club and roll up tradition so I'm making no apologies for it if you don't agree with it. Nothing more than a bit of fun. Perhaps try it
Great days golf but it’s always frustrating when you spend more time in the car than on the course

Played yesterday .. now thawed out! Figured out how to hit off this matt thing. Issue was it rolling up the face and loss of distance, I think. So I positioned the ball to be caught on the upward part of my swing, so fractions of an inch ... seemed to work yesterday.
round with the boys, quite windy (northerly) played well going out, 3 under gross... back 9 had a case of the rights, not helped by a strong crosswind, don't think i saw anything but the right rough the whole back 9
