Or he had a mare.... Only joking and you do seem to be hitting some form. Shame there aren't any comps so you can get the handicap moving forward but keep it going. Not sure in the current situation 2020 can count as YOTF but definitely a firm basis for 2021

Driving range at La Marquesa yesterday, hit a few 7 irons with the shot tracer on, and quite surprised by the repetition in my swing. Even the bits in the hold position are remarkably similar.
Lo Romero on Thursday. Looking forward to it.

worst game from the last 9, still managed a birdie, bringing my total since lockdown to 5, went round with a new member today, so it wasn't about the scoring, hit some good ones and a few duffers,

So are you suggesting a #YOTF 1V ?

Im playing for a £360 pot, that’s more pressure than a card in the hand ?

Sat, beat son 2 & 1.
Today, played rubbish, lost 4 balls, swinging like a donkey even with the putter.

Set out at 6pm for a quick 9 but it was anything but. Ahead of me was another single but ahead of him was a 2 ball that were taking forever. When I was getting to the 3rd tee, the 2 ball were still teeing off. IE 2 singles were finishing the hole before they’d even tee off on the next. There was an older lady single behind me and she was having to wait as well, the 2 slow guys not letting anyone through..... I gave up after the 6th and 1:30. Spoilt an otherwise good few holes of golf at +1 gross. Finished the par 5 6th with a monster drive (fairways are concrete) 7i pin high and the eagle putt missed by about half a ball. Tap in birdie was a good way to finish.

First 18 since November yesterday.
Started poorly - was 3 down after 3 holes - managed to steady it and was 1 up at the turn. Went 3 up with 4 to play, but my PP came back at me, and we went up the last with me 1 up. Managed to win that hole as well.
Played reasonably well, although a few off-target hybrid shots creeping in. Putting very poor though, both pace and line. Lot of work to do there.

That's a blast from the past, haven't played the course for 15-20 years at a guess and the trees were drop out areas.
Whats the course like now, is it worth a play now ? assume all the masses of trees have grown and really hard now ?, it was fairly long, water on par 3s and would be tight with grown trees ?

Definitely worth a revisit, trees, water and length make it a real good test.?

First 18 since return... I'm so unfit!
Doesn't help that we are playing the course in a weird order so finish on the hilly holes which are usually half way round.
Felt so happy to be out in the sun!

Why did they change the order? Temporarily only?
don’t know your course, just curious.

There is good geographical reason to play in this order as it removes a pinch point which makes social distancing awkward. I assume we'll eventually revert to standard order.
Had a mate join me for a little scratch matchplay (he'd usually give me 2 shots).
I went 1 down after 1, 3 down at 9 and wasn't level again until the 14th. Won on the last
Thought I'd played pretty poorly but actually would of had 35 points. Which is an encouraging sign.

Played a solo round this morning and had my best score for a long time, decided top play bogey against the course and finished +6, adding up the Stableford score I had 41 points.
SSS is 3 below par off the yellows but still 2 shots better than handicap.
Playing a set of Ben Sayers "Mentor", 2 to SW, forged stainless irons from 1978, not sure if I'm just going through a phase of good iron play or if the irons suit me but my iron striking was as good as I can remember.

2 rounds in 2 days, first 18s since lockdown.....
Not really any better although I did birdie our difficult 15th.
Played off the whites today for the first time - not a huge increase in distance but a completely different kettle of fish....
Boy, do we need some rain.......didnt think I'd be saying that after the first 2 1/2 months of the year...

Just back from the lesson. They have really thought about the set up for the range. Arrow system in and out of the range gives two lanes 2m apart. At the entrance to the range is a guy at a desk behind a plastic screen. He has a whiteboard and will direct you to a free bay. All balls are by range card. Each bay has hand sanitiser for visitors to use. After each person finishes the range is sprayed down and cleaned and each evening they are fully wiping and cleaning the whole range.
The lesson meant I had to wear a surgical mask, which was a little weird to start with and very hot. Teaching pro had his own mask and surgical gloves and operated the one top tracer screen. He socially distanced at the back of the bay. Fault wise not too much wrong or to fix aside sloppy posture, chin too low, and too hunched. Stood taller and chin raised and ensuring weight towards the balls of the feet but not too far forward. The other issue was picking the club up too quickly on the takeaway so got use to sweeping it lower and over a ball marker on the mat about 6-8 inches from the ball and slightly inside. Ball striking much better. Just need to take it onto the practice ground Friday and then on the course a the weekend
are there enough range balls?
