I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

Another knock at Disley this morning. Started with a birdie and had four other makeable opportunities for more birdies. Didn't get another one, but should have. Great to have re-found my driving ability and my golf game.

Best greens I've played on this year....bar none. Superb course!!!!
 
Played 10 holes earlier on, driving was A1, gave my self opportunities to get on greens in 2, sadly I can’t hit an iron straight, I pretty much sliced them or thinned them, this game kills me, there’s always something going wrong.
 
Another team open for me today this time at Halifax West End, another new course for me.

I enjoyed the course although my game was a bit mixed, I did have 7 pars and a birdie, but a lot of the other holes were poor.
 
Played gathurst near wigan an heard great things. Totally overrated up an down track imo. Driver letting me down so bad However from the 12th I played the 4 best hole stretch I’ve ever played. Was 1 under, 1 birdie (156 into, 7i to 2’)Left 2 in the jaws an 1 behind the hole. All proper good shots.

Hated my golf this year, hopefully on that form there still maybe a cut possible before the q cut off

I played Gathurst for the first time this year and enjoyed it.
 
Some kind of odd urge gripped me today and next thing I knew I was on the practice range hitting my irons.

I remember this happened to me once before several years ago.o_O

All very odd but hopefully it will stand me in good stead for my next two days in Dorset. (y)(y)(y)

Absolutely lashing down when I got to the club but it stopped before we went out.
Distinctly average front 9 and slightly less average on the back - birdies the last to scrape 30 points.
Some truly horrific shots and some truly sublime ones..
 
Finally after a year of crap golf hanging on to 15, another .1 sees me going up to 16. Gutted.

I did put a 8i to 18” from 168 for a 2 tho. There’s always that 1 shot that drags you back
 
Bit late to the thread, had a wonderful round on The Old Course Saturday with Jim.


Don’t care what anyone says about the course but my god it’s the best golfing experience out there, 2nd time playing it and the smile was as big as the 1st time.

Yes it’s not the hardest course in St Andrews but what a place to play golf.

Oh how I want to stick an application form in and join.

The Old Course and North Berwick are my favourite places to play this beautiful game.
 
I played 13 holes, and was 5 under handicap, so a bit of a turn around from Monday.

But, not really. I just had a better route out of the trees after my drives. Just cannot get off a tee peg with any club.
