Medal on Saturday to complete my 3 comps to keep my handicap active. Started with OOB left, for a Triple on 1st then Double on 2nd and a bogey on 3. Oh how I laughed:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Played 18 in the afternoon.

Only good thing was 2 birdies in morning due to being on the par 5s in two(9th/14th) and 3 birdies in the afternoon(2nd, 14th, 16th) . The afternoon round was for sons supplementary cards. What was strange is I have only ever been on the 14th par 5 green in two 3 times before. On Saturday I hit the 14th in 2 in both rounds and both times on the right tier, to cap the day off missed the eagle putts.

Upto 9.5/10, that's a lot of plus 0.1 in a row in comps for me, oh well maybe next year.

Played at Evesham Golf Club on Saturday for a friend's 'Family Open'. Not too bad up until the 5th which is next to the River Avon, hooked my second right into the river. Made up for it on the sixth; 139 yard par three, slightly up hill hit a lovely eight iron with a touch of fade, really good line but can't see the hole from the tee get up there any it's no where to be seen, wander over to the hole and realise I had my first ever hole in one! Struggled to concentrate on the next few holes! Got the ball safely stashed just need to decide what to do with it, has anyone had one mounted in some way for display on the mantel piece or similar?

76 in a comp, I missed a short one on 18 too. I didn’t feel like I played amazingly, just no major mistakes - if I could have got the ball to the hole on the greens, it could have been 3 or 4 lower, as I left a few right in the jaws.

It should see me down to single figures, and it’s a good start to the course of lessons I’ve booked, I’ve only had one so far!

Apologies for quoting myself, but results have been posted, and I won! Handicap down to 9.2 which is my lowest ever.

Well played

After three holes of monthly stableford I had no points. Things went downhill after that. Time to take up bowls I think.

You could always hit the practice ground or a range:swing:

I don't think he's hitting it bad enough to do that from the first at Blackmoor though....then again:mmm:

A county competition today played at Nelson GC, I played nicely but as usual was let down by my putting, I had three 3 putts, mainly down to distance control, one woefully short and two miles too long Rather annoying as I was only 2 shots behind the winner and in my buffer.

Played Sunday at Abbey Hill GC in my work competition, started with a birdie which was lovely.

Nearly got my first ever eagle after hitting one of the best shots of my life, from 240 yards out with my 5 wood, I put it to 7 foot and just missed the putt. Tap in birdie.

Then on the 14th I was on the green in two again but this time the putt was perfect and I got it, my first ever eagle!

Ended up with an 82, 11 over par, 39 points and came third. 6 over on the back nine with two triples, doh!

Can't wait for my next round.

Played the best I've done in ages today, never hit one bad drive.
Irons were ok but my biggest problem was alignment, putting myself in excellent positions only for my shots to go right, just about every single time which was frustrating, will have to try and sort it quickly.
Main thing was I was giving myself a chance to get onto greens in 2, which hasn't been the case the last couple of months.

Played at Cowdray Park yesterday. The course was in stunning condition, with no bare patches on the fairways. Must have the best fairway watering system, and availability of water in the south. It was lovely hitting off grass again.:thup:

Cowdray is a definite hidden gem, with no two holes the same, and the most stunning views. Greens are never the quickest, and the bunkers have orange builders sand, but with a bit of work it could be one of the top parkland courses.

Played today off me lowest ever Hcap 18.9, after hcap I went round in 75 which should keep me in BZ which am chuffed to bits about. Not chuffed about losing three balls, not chuffed about being bent over double under an oak tree and missing ball twice before losing me rag and hitting it 3 rd time lucky. Stood on the 18th thinking a five could get me a cut and hitting three drives into the trees. Fortunately I found the first and hacked out first time. 75 could and should of been in the 60's but am hitting it well so cannot complain. No golf now for two weeks ☹️

Played Styal golf club today in Cheshire and lost 4 balls from a brand new pack...

I was fortunate enough to play Hankley Common this afternoon.
The course was typically beautiful and the green were pretty slick despite having been worked on at the beginning of the month.
Heather .................... there's lots of heather.
Despite many heathery visits, I only lost one ball but the stuff cost me quite a few shots.
32pts with 3 blobs and I putted very poorly, missing short birdie putts on the 2nd and the 17th
I put my bro to the sword though!
Weather gorgeous, course gorgeous, greens gorgeous, fairways gorgeous, Guiness gorgeous.
Enough said.

Played away against an old club (Kenilworth) today for my A-team.

I've never put my name down to play against them home or away since leaving over 4 years ago and since being a member at Coventry for over 3 years, but my captain was short and I'm unbeaten currently and my captain has only won games with me, so, I agreed with mixed emotions to play.

I was on for a sub 80 until I messed up the par5 16th taking too much club and hit the right side of the green in 2 and bounced hard forwards straight into the ditch behind the green, OOB!

Another nice par (9 in total) on 17 but a silly bogey on 18 still returned a very good card, in fact, we looked at what out BB score would have been and we'd have scored a gross 75 (SS 71) and 50% of our combined handicap would have got us a Nett 62

I'm going to sleep well tonight

Played Royal North Devon in their Veterans Open, Weather wasn't great but managed to get into my buffer zone despite not holing a putt over 6 feet.

Interesting course with lots of blind shots and some deadly reeds. Shared the course ith lots of sheep, some horses and loads of dog walkers.

Club house was a real golf museum with clubs going back well over 100 years on display.

Used up my H4H auction voucher and played Swinley Forest with Imurg and CVG . Hosted by Paul who is an artisan member there and a lovely guy genuinely in love with his course.

And why not, it is golfing heaven, the course was in great nick, it was a beautiful summer evening and timed it perfectly.

Even CVG was almost happy

Played well, 31 points, beat imurg , although he apparently had a sore knee.- but I’ll take it.

Easily my favourite course, I just love it.
Quick drink in the artisans bar afterwards, then Paul guided us to a chippy. Pretty well a perfect evening

Thank Paul, you’re a geezer 👍
