or rather didn't, was due to play winter medal at Nairn Dunbar, lashing it down, you could see on 13 and 14 the two wetest holes on the course was water.

so didn't bother going out, due to play Dornoch Sunday, the weather is supposed to be better

Ditto, our course has been closed for 2-days but they’ve opened a few holes.

Its carry only and they’re obviously desperate to get people down at the club to spend money in the clubhouse, but it’s not for me, it will be too wet & muddy, so it’s off to Woodhall to play the Hotchkin tomorrow morning.

could have played Nairn, which is so much dryer and drains better than ND, but another 2 holes closed while course upgrades being done, not worth bothering

Got the head blown off us at rossapenna sandy hills in a scramble.

Rained for 4 holes then just the wind after that.

Great day out and a curry after for 25 euro. Hard to beat.

Played at Rickmansworth, course was in semi-decent nick surprisingly. It's par 65 there since it has 8 par 3s. My front nine was a struggle and I even had a dose of the shanks for the first time in 8 months or so. I think I was just knackered as I stupidly decided to do Parkrun this morning even though I've been ill all week - when I'm tired swing gets lazy, old habits return. Came through that though and had a pretty good back nine. 13 points out, 20 points in for 33 on a day when I don't feel I played well, so I must have done some decent scrambling. In gross terms that's 47 (13 over) and 37 (6 over). Happy to come out with a reasonable score even when not playing well.

Bit scrappy today - but 36pts, 3 birdies, and NO nasties...??’

Course in great nick for this time of year - and pretty much dry all over - though windy and a bit dreich overhead from time to time.

Weather looks ok today, away to Fortrose myself.

Not played exactly, but 3rd visit to the range since my epiphanic lesson on Tuesday.
Still hitting it straighter and further!
If this carries on, I’ll have nothing to whinge about!

Played for first time in nearly a month. Winter league. Was fine for first ten or so holes but then got really tired, and lost my swing. Getting fit again starts tomorrow ! We lost 3 and 2, but will go through to the knock outs.

Just fantastic to be out playing again. Course in good nick, lovely day, and playing with a mate. What not to like.

 

[BrianM]

First round in a good few weeks, started slowly then started playing well, just remembered what I was getting taught in lessons, short game brilliant, still keeping the club face slightly open when driving, all in all I’m happy enough from where I was at.

Good front 9 on the Hotchkin but fell away a little on the back 9 for a nett 75, so hit buffer in some difficult windy conditions and a bit of rain early doors.

Lots of positives, especially my ball striking with irons, hit the 4w off the deck the best ever, 2 wild drives cost me a ball on each and a blob/NR.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Had a drive over to Las Colinas, heard the practice facility was good, and, you get the balls set up in Pyramids for you on the range.

It's regarded as the best course in the area - and one I'll look forward to playing when I get the chance.

Anyway, good session on the range with the lad, I hit some solid irons, driver wasn't great but only tried a few so not too worried about that. Jamies swing still looking good, he needs somebody with a better eye and understanding than me now to improve him. If I can't find an academy that he can attend then it'll have to be lessons once every few weeks with a pro.

Only thing I can advise him on is his dress code at the golf club.

Didn’t realised that’s where you were. What a course! I would be jealous, but I’m joining you this summer ??

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Squeezed in 9 holes by myself late afternoon and played most holes with two balls - though ended up playing up last pretty much in the dark. But major++ was that as yesterday there were NO LLs in sight. And a good smattering of half decent shots into the bargain.

Just 9 holes today with a mate. No spectacular scoring from me but I kept the triple bogie of teh card for the 1st time, I think. My party trick (30 - 70 yard chip shot) not working at all, don't know why, didn't work the last 2 range sessions either. Just toeing it flat right for 10 - 25 yards instead of forward where it used to go.
3/6 drives on the fairway, 2 just off, 1 on a different fairway. Maybe that compensates for the lost chip shot.

Sucked yesterday int he monthly stableford. 29 points with a miserable 12 out and no idea where the ball was going or how to swing. Got 17 back but no idea how. Played today and had 33 points. Better but still not good so lesson on Tuesday has come at the right time

 

[HarrogateHacker]

Course down to 13 holes, and played to handicap ( including a triple on the last!!!) so could have been a couple under, not too bad for this time of year!

 

[patricks148]

was due to play Dornoch yesterday, but a change of plans from the two members we were playing with meant we went to Tain instead, not a bad call the Allience was on that morning so got to play off the full tee's off the fairway, which made a nice change, for me.

quite a nice afternoon, bright and sunny though only 4 or 5 deg.... was pretty average off the tee and even lost a couple of balls, but still beat the other two who were only slightly worse than us

Got out this morning before the weather got bad. Was still cold and windy! Course looked clear until 5 holes in so I cut across and added another 8 holes to my round.
Putting seems to have improved as I have reset my ball position. Irons were crisp and seem to be flying nicely. Best shot was a 6iron into a 2 club wind at 145yards for a 2footer for birdie, the flight was a sight to behold it powered up and then floated with a gentle fade to spin back on landing 2ft. I knew the wind was strong when I hit a 9iron across the wind and it moved 20ft in the air. I thought I had over cooked it but it land a 3ft left of the pin position. I was also concentrating on keeping my hands ahead of my hips when driving and that was working as well... all in all a good day but I need to build on that and keep improving if I am to cut my handicap.

Vale da Pinta with HID and another couple today and it was in fantastic nick .Took a while to get the pace of the greens but very pleased with 38 points , 4 birdies including the last ? for those who know it .
Sorry but weather is gorgeous ??
