Yesterday at Swinley - got a couple of birdies but generally played like a drain..
Twinging left knee didn't help every time I leaned on it but that's not an excuse..
And I don't care
Coz for 3 1/2 hours I went to Heaven again:whoo:
Today at the Zoo - knee didn't hurt and it showed.
38 points to leave Fragger trailing.
Just the 1 birdie but a couple of blobs in there as well.
Pretty solid apart from the 2 no scores - both par 3s and dodgy tee shots that finished under trees...

Played my best round for a couple of months, drove well, irons and hybrids also generally good and putting not too bad other than a couple of 3 putts. Couple of loose shots saw me blob 3 holes, but managed 35, my first 30+ round in a while.
Course was very quiet due to the forecast rain which never came, we zoomed round in 3 hours 10 minutes. Absolutely loved it.

Oi, you make it sound like you beat me by a country mile, I got 34 so only 4 in it ,
Started and finished with birdies, a few pars and 2 blobs, so a vast improvement over recent performances 👍

You were one in front after 9......I'd call beating you by 5 on the back 9 "leaving you trailing" but that's just me...:rofl:

Completely agree. I played here 2 maybe 3 weeks ago after we hadn't had a drop in rain in months and I could not believe how much the fairways were.
I'd never heard of the course before never mind played it but I'd definitely like to play it again.

One in water, 2 in waist high rough, and one horrible slice that I lost against the cloudy sky.
Being a beginner is difficult.

Finally! its happened I didn't realy haveany big mess ups and I scored 40 points in our Stableford this morning, an 8 over par 80 gross, the only downside was that I took 2 in a bunker to blob the last, otherwise I would have my first competitive sub 80 at Ellesmere.

We got completely drenched and walked in after 10 holes, comp should really have been delayed . The greens were flooding and it was hard to find a dryish spot to putt from.
A shame about the last but well played. A great score and you know it's in there so you can do it again and this time finish it off properly

Had a first today and almost a second. I finally birdied a par 5, both mine and PP 3rd shots were within 3 feet of the pin, he 2 putted.
Came close to a hole in one two holes later, arrow straight shot landed short of the hole and rolled past it 3 feet, must have been an inch or so from going in.

Just realised 80 is my new lowest competition score at Ellesmere, thanks to afternoon downpours CSS went up and I got a 1.2 cut.

Ridiculous round this morning. Started like a train, then on the wheels totally came off, lost balls all over the place as game completely disintegrated. Then, just as suddenly, it came back and I finished playing great.
Scored as follows -
12 points on the first 6 holes (10 on the first 4)
3 points between the 7th and the 14th (all 3 on the 11th) - it was horrible
10 points on the last 4 as it came back
Truly bizarre, am only glad I ended the round playing well.

Played today. Didn't play well at all. Kept getting myself in trouble in thick wet rough, often taking multiple slashes to get out.
Found something in my swing around the 5th and got a wee run of pars around the turn. Put myself in decent position off the tee, but wedges were terrible - high, floaty and weak. Irons only marginally better.
Won my friendly match. But that is more a reflection on my playing partner, than me.
Going to try and get a few cards in for my handicap over the next couple of weeks and it could be a high number if I can't play better in and around the greens.

Played my local 9-hole here in Italy this evening
Best 9 I have had in 25 years - 3 GIR pars, 6 bogeys (incl 1 in water) - & no doubles!
The thing is - although I hit some good shots much of it esp around/on greens was average - and was pretty fair off the tee the key was that I did not hit any truly bad shots (a 1st for as long as I can remember) - highly enjoyable as well

Had the pleasure to be hosted at Royal St Lytham yesterday.
Well the day was brilliant, great host, great clubhouse, great match between the 4 of us and the course was fantastic, hope to go back next year. Some of the holes were just fantastic. Was blowing probably 25-35 mph wind, a proper links test.
The host and me took on the two from south of Watford(though spookily we all have lived in Essex at some stage in our lifes!), we were never up in the match, got level a few times but then would go back in deficit, but cometh the 18th, cometh the winning team stepping up and we stole the match by winning the 18th for a well earnt £1 back nine and £1 overall, I'm rich and going to spend my net £1 winnings next week wisely.:thup:
Top everything, just an ace afternoon/evening.

Played yesterday and I’m still crap. Hit about 10 good shots all round although my chipping wasn’t too bad.
dont think I’ll be playing again until H4H in October
