Just looked at the results and I got +1 and buffer, so at least no increase.

But is there a rule of thumb on what to score to get a cut? Like 42 or 43 points? Is that in the ball park?


Went to the range yesterday and I actually got worse, apart from driver. Lesson coming up on Saturday at the right time.

In simple terms, it depends on how everyone else does

Played Pennard for the first time, interesting course layout and the ripples on the fairway, wow wasn't expecting that, can understand why they call it links in the sky.

Great welcome by the guy in the pro shop, top notch and £30 winter rate for a round, bargain for the course.

Started with 5 pars, then swing went to the beach and hacked my way round, no excuses as perfect weather, I was pants.

I quite fancy Pennard at some point in the next few years.

I heard its quite quirky.

If you don't like blind shots or not being able to see all the hole from the tee, then I would not recommend

It is bordering on a hilly course and as a result, lots of undulations over the course with blindish shots, along with lots of like dune ripples on fairways.

Personally really enjoyed the layout/course and wouldn't hesitate to go back to again.

Edit Get yourself over there, whilst still reasonable in price.

Thanks. There is a follow link on this page to here ( https://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/features/the-game/how-are-golf-handicaps-adjusted-91800 ) which seems to suggest that for a cat 5 player I would have to be net 2 under CSS for the day to get a full shot. I think for stable ford that would mean 5 points above?

I was 35, CSS was 36 points, the 1st 2 got a cut at 38 and 37 points. If it wouldn't have been for the 2 shot penalty (teeing off outside the tee box [wrong tee]) on the 18th ...

Overdrawing a little bit, but I've been aiming down the right. Save the January weather it was good today.

 

[Italian outcast]

Played 9 today before first comp of the year at the weekend

Haven't played since early November and our practice facility is out of action for a month - so very much swing and hope [All felt quite strange]

A horrific start then a good end finished par/birdie/par

if i knew what I was doing right when it goes well - that might help - Who knows what will turn up on Sunday

I played at the Lakes par 3 as usual.

I have never hit it so straight in my life, literally target line every time.

My distance thought was way shorter than usual, PW going about 95 yards.

I am guessing that’s a combination of the cold air and heavy air as it felt that way as you walked around.

Also the ground was very heavy too as my shots spun back almost a yard from their pitch mark, sometimes off the green!

Overall super happy as swing plane, ball contact, flight and direction were all as good as I have ever done. Putting was good but both it and chipping just needs better distance judgement.

Out in 32, home in 30 so +8 for 18 = happy me!

First round since pulling my back

Played in a 4BBB comp - we scored 47 ?, I had 42 ?

 

[patricks148]

Nairn Dunbar Hogg, blowing a bit at least 4 club wind, putted much better, back 9 was really tough, trolley blew over so many times.

was leading with 33 points, but only a dozen groups in then, doubt it will be by this afternoon.


it was so windy i had to retrieve my shoes from under another car in the carpark... bloody Sketchers

 

[HampshireHog]

78 Gross or 41pts with a blob by any measure I played well today. Nothing spectacular no long putts just solid, just need to do it in a qualifier..

 

[TreeSeeker]

Played poorly today, 29 points and i'm off a new handicap, so clearly the new handicap is about right!

Couldn't keep it on the fairway, i think I only hit two fairways the entire day, quite a few blobs from the midirons, asking too much of them out of the rough/deep mud. good signs there but lots of room for improvement. Bring on the summer!

 

[Lump]

-4 gross after 6 holes..... Walked in +3gross with 35pts. Recurring issue with the driver murders me. (Low low toe strike, can get a massive low draw with it or a straight punt right depending on what percentage of club face it grabs)
Played with a +1 golfer that shot -5gross that should have been -8. Really shows you were you have to work on your game.

 

[Orikoru]

Full spectrum of sublime to ridiculous today in my first comp of the year. Made 7 pars but still only managed 29 points! Holed at least three great putts from 12+ feet, but also missed one from 6 inches. Got some fantastic up and downs, and also a couple of knifed chips through the back. Hit some of my very best drives, and a couple that were almost topped. The full package. That's six 0.1's in a row now I believe. I hate winter golf.

Poxy 33 points in our Saturday crew roll up stableford but won our pairs Matchplay so didn’t pay for the comp and won £5 on top so going wild tonight ?

Crappy wet & muddy conditions doesn’t suit my game, especially little chips around the green.

Off to Woodhall tomorrow so I’ll look to score better on firmer fairways and greens.

 

[garyinderry]

Beat in a pairs game one down. Didnt play particularly great. Some very poor chip and runs. Kept leaving them short.


Been a dry week so it was the best the course had played all winter. Heavy rain due tonight so will probably give golf a miss tomorrow and do something with the wee one.

 

[USER1999]

82, bang on the number. Some utter garbage, some pars and 2 birdies. Only a roll up, so it doesn't matter. Not played in a comp since early September.

Won a 5er, as my partner off 25 shot 9 under handicap. Only won on the last though. Tough school.

 

[chrisd]

First knockout stage of the 4bbb winter league after qualifying from the group stage. A 2 and 1 win to go through to the next round ?

 

[clubchamp98]

Played today two ball behind two women then four men .
The fourball could not keep up but would not let us through.
Found out in clubhouse that the two ladies were their wives and they were “ protecting them” from any male members getting behind them.
I was fuming , they didn’t think they had done anything wrong.
Had to put them straight but just blank looks.
Just what they thought we were going to do to them I don’t know.
But it’s really poor ,ruined my golf as I was freezing just waiting on every shot.
Feel a letter going in.

That's just utterly ignorant and arrogant behaviour.
Things like this should definitely be taken further, it just ruins golf for so many.

Yesterday was another day battling the unmentionables - and pleased to play 18 without one. Lots of rubbish shots mind you - only 27s/ford points - but no unmentionables so round deemed a success.

Standing slightly further from ball with a more upright stance and hands a little higher feels quite different but comfortable and as a quite different the ‘feeling’ I was getting as I stood over the ball that an unmentionable was about to happen wasn’t really there. And that is a massive ‘mental’ thing.
