Played this morning And we even had @Captainron tag along but thank the Lord I didn’t get drawn out with him ?

Anyway played pretty crap. Tired lazy swings. Had quite a few pars and no birdies but as it was a team game today my efforts helped guide the team to not winning a penny ?

I played like a mix between Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon.
It was ugly and pointless.

 

[beggsy]

Blimey, at that rate if you never played again you could probably turn pro ??

If only mate ha ??

 

[beggsy]

Impressive. You must have been low before you took a break?

Thanks pal
I got down to 6.3 my lowest and finished on 7.5

Final game at CLS yesterday with my mates, it was a tremendous laugh, specially when one of the other pair missed a tiddler on 18 to hand us the game ?
I'll officially be a nomad golfer on 1st January but I'm possibly going to join the course in my village once the season starts around March time.

A bit more biking next year?

A lot more mate, I'll try not to fall off as much though ?

That's a good resolution for 2020 ?

Roll up at Nairn though only 12 of us. Back on 18 holes though winter green on 4, 12 and 13 due to work. hit it great, team scores though i did have an eagle and 4 birdies, though 3 of them on the winters

Course was back open today and I've finished work for the year so I popped down for a quick 18 on my own, just played off the yellows for a quick practise round. Conditions were a little tough on the front nine so picked up a few double bogeys, but three pars as well - 44/15pts at half way. Back nine was pretty good as no more doubles, 40/21pts for an 84 with 36pts. So turned into a nice little round in the end. Finished it with a lovely right to left twenty-odd foot putt on the 18th which was nice.

Played at Glenbervie today it was a tad wet underfoot but the greens were actually better than good for this time of the year. Collected the prize money so that's the Christmas dinner taken care off.

Played this morning.

After a yesterday’s awful effort I actually played really well.

2 birdies loads of pars. One car crash and I shot 5 over.

Where has that been hiding all year ?

Played Bootle. Playing very short but dry enough an very Windy.
I’ve not played in what seems like ages, so to hit an 83 was a bonus. In truth tho wedge distance and in was woeful.
Just good to get a game in

 

[Lump]

Haven’t touched the clubs in 3 weeks due to weather and work.
-1gross in knock around today. Was -4 at one point on the back 9 but 3 cheeky 3 stabs helped to bring back down to Earth. developed a low bullet draw with the driver which is new and something I find hard to aim for.

Bounce game in North Berwick today with a couple of work colleagues. Only a light breeze so ideal conditions apart from the greens which were still recovering from a recent tine and sanding. We three often play a 'matchplay' game - our better ball off bare feet vs the course par. We are a 5, a 10 and a 12 handicap so it is possible to beat the course but usually we lose out as we don't score enough birdies. It's a fun format when you're mainly out for the craic. We lost 1 down on 18 (again).

 

[Tongo]

Played 18 holes on the new course at Leckford. A pleasant winter's afternoon with plenty of sunshine albeit rather windy.

 

[Beezerk]

Well my hiatus didn't last long, joined the course in the village I live in earlier ?

Played 13holes by myself - tried out my Bushnell laser gizmo quite a few times - just to get used to it. What a faff. Could be for sale soon.

Had to continually redo distance measurements as I knew what the gizmo was telling me was miles out (often quite a few 10s of yds too long - sometimes way too short). What's the point if it is so sensitive to the precise thing you are pointing at and it is difficult to be precise as you have to hold it so steady. Ok I suppose today as I knew when it was wrong - but if it's for playing tracks I don't know I'll not know it's wrong. Am I missing something.

First impressions? Waste of money. Just as well using the rangefinder God provided me with - my two eyes; my brain and my experience. So today and at this moment - very disappointed, seems like technology oversold.

However - maybe I was just rubbish at using it, with practice I'll get better and it will be the game-changer that everyone tells me using tech is all about...

Apologies if its obvious, but you need to make sure the pin seeker mode is on to pick up the nearest object.
I have a Bushnell and genuinely have never spent more than a second or two getting a yardage.

Same problem when I got mine. Like anything, it improves with practice.
