I enjoyed that course, it has some really good holes on it and was in superb nick when I was there a few years ago.

Played 9 holes at mearns castle, was raining and very windy when i set off but rain soon stopped, the wind didnt. It was blowing the pins out the holes. Shot my best score ever of 45, really think my game is on a different level now and would have shot much lower but for the crazy wind. Absolutely delighted.

Played in a “friendly” annual 4BBB comp with a +2.4 ex (tour) pro against a guy of my ability and a scratch golfer. Acquitted myself well when needed, a couple of birdies to win holes and pars to allow partner have a run at birds. Went missing for a few holes early doors, must do better.
We won 1 up but while for the majority of the round you’d struggle to see the difference between me and the scratch guy (who wasn’t having his best day I’ll admit), I’m kidding myself if I think I’m playing the same game as the +2.
Ball striking like I’ve never seen outside of pro events. I outdrove him once, downwind - driver to a 240 target and I was 20 yards past. He was pin high.
With a hybrid. ? Awesome to watch close up, had such a deft touch around the greens too as did the scratch and that’s where the biggest obvious bridgeable gap in my game is. Something to work on ??

It sounds to me like you are overthinking it and getting tense, the best improvement i have seen in my own game came once i started to realise its only hitting a ball and it doesnt actually matter as i am doing it just for fun. Once this realisation happened i started swinging freely and hitting the ball straighter and further.

That’s a shame especially if you had to endure the Spurs game, poor again but played better second half.Another weekend with no golf. Bloody weather.

I only caught the second half, must have timed that right.

First round of the Winter League 4BBB KO stages, I played Mizuno White Fang 1, 3 & 5 woods, Mizuno TP-9 irons and a Wilson 8813 putter.
Close match but we found ourselves one down on the par 5 18th tee, needing a win to go to extra holes.
Having both played our seconds to leave about 125 yards, me and my partner felt completely deflated as our opponents both stuck their second shots on the green, needless to say we lost 2 down.

First comp of the year for me yesterday, 35 pts was enough for a wee cut to get back down to single figures again. Putting was woeful though, so plenty room for improvement still.

9 holes open yesterday so decided to head out to see what the course was like. If I can just use one emoji to describe the state of the course it’d be ???. Or perhaps that’s just my emotion after playing it.
I simply cannot see how it will be able to get back in good nick. Some parts are just ruined. Mud bath.

How did your horse cope with the mud?

Played .. wasn’t that good, lipped out 4 times, bounced out once and was hungry and cold.
Driver was okay after doing a reset to 11 degrees and neutral.
Roll on summer .. wasn’t bothered about my luck today I need it this week for something else.

Heythrop Park today. Another contender for joining.
Been good to play 2 courses this weekend that have been coping well with the weather. Few big trees down though, firewood for the greenkeepers perhaps!

Fifteen holes open again. Didn't hit the ball as well as yesterday, especially the driver but got it round in a better score. Bunker play markedly improved (but had a lot of practice out there).

Played yesterday and got a score of 107. Best ever at my home course. It was really frustrating moving the ball into the rough or onto a mat when it was on a fairway, but that’s golf at this time of year.
It’s the first time I haven’t had double figures on a hole in 18, and were it not for some really dodgy putting on 3-4 holes, I’d have broken 100.
Very optimistic for the coming season now.

played at the Kings yesterday afternoon, played with my mate Gordy, walking off the 3rd to the 4th tee we passed a guy he knows who was waiting on the 16th tee. he asked his how he was.... not good.. the 4 ball in front of him had made him wait on every hole around the course and not let him through despite no one in front of them..... very very poor, ive a good mind to send email the club myself about that
A nice afternoon, played OK, but no match for Go go, lost 3 down, he had 6 birdies, had my chances but hidn't hole and of the puts when it counted.
