lost matchplay on the last :-(

was playing terrific and should have put the match to bed on the front nine, but 3 bad mistakes on the back nine cost me the match. I'm hitting the ball further than ever and am a club longer throughout the bag, but it's putting indecision into my head, where I would of hit an 8 iron last year, I now need a 9 iron, but I'm not confident of taking a club less on some shots and dont commit to the shot and screw it up. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

First time at Redlibetts today and at £22 a bargain.
Tee’d off at 7.15 and it took 3.5 hours.
Shot an 84 for 39 points and won 4&3

Well....only up to average for the game today but.....
32 points first time out as a 3 for what seems like eternity
Banter was flowing and I played reasonably well..certainly better than Fragger and CVG
Highlight was a nice 2 on the tricky par 3 10th..only 130 yards but very downhill and easy to run off the back with a down slope just beyond the flag.
Another hole to cross off my birdie list - just 5 more to go and I'll have birdied them all....
Happier days....

Who or what is CVG? You've been using that acronym so long I've forgotten who it referred to - was a member here who no longer posts, right?

We left the course after 15 tonight as the course was rammed and wouldn’t have been able to see the ball properly. I was 2 over par, which is the best I’ve ever been at that point.

Absolutely buzzing right now about my golf in general.

Sixth round since being allowed back on the course in Scotland 11 days ago tonight - generally didn't drive quite as well (apart from a couple of crackers) as I had been but irons and short game are coming together - rough is getting very tasty indeed and wind was tough, constantly changing between blowing from East to South and even West.

Pretty happy with how I'm playing, especially given that I had barely touched a club in the last couple of years, there's a really good round to come at some point if I can keep from overcomplicating my game. Out again on Thursday night.

Nice while it lasted I guess

I. CAN'T. PUTT.

My golf has taken a significant step forward starting with Monday last week. Played in a four ball this morning, seven pars, two birdies and two blobs for what would have been 46 points. Putting was much better than the round I played on Monday (45 points). All parts of the game were working well today and 86, including a 10 (duffed and lost drive and then lost another trying a glory shot, which caught a tree) and a 7 (2nd shot pulled a little left and OOB), suggests that a sub-80 round is now well within my capabilities. Out again tomorrow.

Another solidly unspectacular 31 points today, pounding another nail in the coffin that is Year of the Fragger.....
Strikes are getting better some great irons today
A couple of really good chances on 2 of the par 3s after solid 6 irons in but they're also the trickiest greens and both chances slipped past.
Let's do it all again Friday...

Oh dear. £1 points good enough to beat Fragger. YOTF definitely done

Brilliant! Booked a lesson next week with Homer's favourite coach (Paul Foston) and I could easily be giving him the lesson the way I hit from 80 yards an in today ?

Not sure he ever recovered. He may be a shell of a man when you see him. Just don't show him the youtube videos. It'll put his recovery back another 10 years

Wheels came off big time today.

Have been playing great since the course opened back up, definitely my best sustained spell since taking the game up.

Started well again today, 10 points for the first 4 holes, then it all went to pot. Started shanking my irons. The number of times I hit a great drive, then hit a horrible second straight into the trees was heartbreaking.

No idea what caused this. My only thought was I started strengthening my grip when driving today to stop slicing. It worked well on the driving, but don't know if it subconciously crept into my irons?

Made the turn in 16 points after 2 blobs caused by shanks, then it got worse, a grand total of 7 points and 4 lost balls coming back. Genuinely mystified at what went wrong.
