Played at Blackburn in an open Played well at the start and at the end but there was some iffy golf in the middle.
There was a beer festival on at the club and entry to the open included a free pint glass and 2 free pints, just a shame I had to drive home they had a great selection of cask beers

First round of a weekend long honours boars event. Net 77 (+7) but not too disappointed. A couple of wayward shots cost me dear but some good stuff there too especially the short game and putting

Captains weekend at HQ, haven't been able to qualify due to injury so can't get a game all weekend, and greens being done Monday. To rub it in course looks great and greens nice and quick.
Did some skulking about the range instead. Unfortunately resorted to trying new irons to cheer myself up.

Our member guest day today - glorious sunshine and a moderate breeze to keep us all honest. Had the pleasure of watching a young lad in our group stripe his 2 iron off almost every tee. A thing of beauty when you have the talent to do that. Our better ball stableford score of 44pts was enough for 4th place and a nice pro shop voucher - should keep me in mars bars through the winter. Looking out over the water in the sunshine it felt a privilege to be a member at NB today.

Playing quite a lot recently and hitting the buffer..... Managed a 76 gross today though, net 70 without even making a birdie. Lipped out 4 times, and ended up with 14 pars, 4 bogeys and a double. Css went up so now down to 5.5....

Captains Day today and first qualifier since a lesson to sort out my shanks.
33pts and no sign of them, feeling positive I can get back on track and finish the season well.
Back to the Club tonight for the prize giving and evening entertainment.
Good day all round.

Interclub matchplay. We guaranteed finishing top of the division today, so promotion to next one up. Won my match also, followed by a few celebratory drinks.

Had a knock round Ruislip, just a two ball so we raced round. Greens were in surprisingly great nick, but the fairways are destroyed. Got a shocking 9 on the par 5 2nd, big pull into the trees with my second shot, lost ball and then duffed it after the drop when trying to keep it low. Recovered well though, went on to go round in 90 which was decent. Highlight was a birdie on the tough 200 yard par 3 16th. In Stableford terms it was 36 points with three blobbed holes.

Played at Northcliffe on Friday. What an amazing course. Brilliant starting hole and THE BEST finishing hole
nice game at Tain yesterday as the North of Scotland open ( David Blair) was was on at Nairn this weekend.
used the round to try two pieces of new equipment, The TM Tour Spider putter and an AVX ball. impressed with both, though the ball doesn't stop quite as well and the Prov1 i currently use.
Greens were pretty good at Tain, but the fairways had really suffered since i last played there. with the dry summer then a bit of rain up there recently there were a lot of weeds on the fairway, a couple of them ground creeping weeds that covered a large area.

Played first thing this morning, first drive was 255 yards then a 45 yard 7 iron chip and run for a tap in birdie, almost my first eagle.
Only had 2 bad holes, the 6th after a cracking hybrid down the middle, only had 65 yards left and sliced straight into the stream and did exactly the same with my drop so picked up.
Also the 9th, par 3 but hit straight left into the woods, then hit my 3rd off tee into the stream, so picked up again.
Happy with my game though and my driving was solid.

A little mixed Am-Am today at Wheatley GC today. Caught the better side of the weather which helped us take the win. Over the last 4 years we’ve played this event the course has always been in great condition, this year it was as good as ever. Worth a play if your in the area.
nice day on the links today, not much wind and sunny. Played pretty average, but much better on the back 9 only 1 over for that.
I think i have also worked out how the American visitors i see have the handicaps they do.... IE quite low compared to ability. watched 3 groups of them today playing the 2nd all of them knobbed their 2nd shots into the burn, the all of them dropped it the other side a good 20 yards over it the burn:rofl::rofl:went to the range and one of the guys i know was caddying for one group and he said none of them counted any of their bad shots or and shots out of a bunker... which there were many apparently
