Shot -4 vs handicap with a 9 on the 18th, so happy and a bit frustrated at the same time

Unexpected warm sunshine this morning and a pleasant round in a four-ball. Scored 24pts out, but had a couple of poor holes on the way back for 14pts. Still net -2 is not at all bad. Generally striking the ball well and putted well to start with.

2 ball rounds still over here....2 hours 15 for 18 holes this morning... was home before I was missed!

Played 9 holes this morning, shot 49 again (par 33). First round ever that i havent lost any balls, kept the driver in the bag and teed off with 5 wood instead, getting similar distance (210 yards) but keeping it in the fairway a lot more. Chipped out greenside bunker into the hole for a birdie but it bounced out due to foam insert which was hard to take.
Happy with the consistency of my ball striking, just need to stopped getting penalty strokes.
Burn runs across first fairway at 200 yards and always end up in it. Put a drive up against a stone wall as well and had to take a drop as was no way to play out.
Still need to improve my putting but chipping has come on.
Reckon i could break 45 with a bit of work around the greens.

Bogey Comp today, usually not a fan. But seeing as it was the first qualifier I thought I’d risk it.
Treat it like a medal and came in +2 gross and 2up. Best result in a bogey for some time.
Might sneak a wee cut.

Always happy to get past Maryport GC without a ball through the windscreen

Was going to join as country until all this blew up.

Was working in Workington, staying in Cockermouth so felt best logistically.

Silloth's one of my favourite tracks but finishing @ 5 every day felt a bit of a push.

Doubt we'll be back on site before early next year, so all thats out of the window!

Shot 90 with a 10 on the card. Could have been a decent one (for me).
Did get a birdie though.

 

[Griffsters]

Well I shot an 8, a 9 and a 10 on three par 4's today but other than these I played ok. May still just buffer Gotta love net double bogey

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Shot 33 points with a 6/10 swing and didn't really hit the ball well all the way round. Couple of good sand saves and a few putts covered up some bad swings and the driver still misbehaving. On the plus side before lockdown that would probably have been a 26-27 points so feel the game is starting to move forward

Didn't know Maryport did country memberships, you learn something new every day..

Like the links holes at Marport but feel you can hit from any direction on the 'new holes' across the road.

I live in Workington, where have you been working?

 

[HampshireHog]

40 pts today. Game felt really good only had one drop from outside 10ft and one miss from inside 10ft. Had a few good up and downs to keep the score ticking along

 

[Papas1982]

Up at 5am to play Addington Court.

A pulled driver summed up how that would perform for the day. 32 points with 5 reloads!

Irons are behaving pretty well still. Also starting to be able to control the height a little better whcih is good for home course.

Struggling with 50-80 yards when away as been practising long chip n runs and doesn't work over rough

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Well, playing 9 holes every day this week didn't help in todays stableford comp, 27 points. Doesn't bode well for next weeks monthly medal.

Hi guys 1st post but long time lurker, apologies in advance for blowing my own trumpet but I played today and shot a PB 76 around my club on the old course at Walton Heath. I knew it was going to be a great day when I birdied the 1st. I’ve never parred this hole in 13yrs I’ve been a member. I play off 16 but today was one of those days when the the fats and thins were left in the boot of the merc!!

Just play a club that will leave you short of the burn on the first and you won’t get a penalty shot nothing worse than getting a penalty on the first hole , hard luck with that birdie ?

After shooting handicap or better in 3 of my 4 post-lockdown rounds, today was the first competition of the new world, so obviously it went to hell in a handbasket.

Awful slice on the second off the tee but rescued a point. Lost ball off the tee on the 4th - blob. Hooked the par three 5th which almost never happens, couldn't save a point as I don't get a shot there so another blob. Duffed the 6th tee shot, but managed to rescue a 5 for 2. Duffed the 7th tee shot, wheels well and truly off, third blob of the day. Got a lot better after that though, bogeyed 8 & 9 for an 11 point front nine.

Back nine was much better and played some semblance of golf. 21 point back nine for 32 overall. Putting was ropey though which cost me a few more points - drove the green on the 14th but three putted for a bloody par. Still, I was quite surprised I still broke 90 (88) after such a pathetic spell on the front nine. If everyone else played trash then I might scrape buffer with 32 but it seems unlikely given the comp was off yellows. So I'll be up to 17 in all likelihood, which feels wrong given how well I have played lately, but them's the breaks.

Excellent game at Bearwood Lakes today with PNWokingham, Liverpoolphil and PieMan. Close match, settled on the 18th. Hats off to PieMan who hadn't picked up a club since Jan 3rd and knocked it round in 41pts (off 6) with the obligatory blob ?
Many thanks for hosting slasher, return match at my place soon as we agree a date ?

I think the H4H handicap secretary will be happy to adjust the handicaps accordingly for this practice round
