Played late this afternoon. Did not strike the ball well on the front nine and scrambled 18pts. Back nine was another story and broke 40 for nine holes for the first time with a 38 :). Was so excited on the 18th, I missed from 18 inches for a par so could have been better.

You've been burning it up lately Mike, bet you can't wait for qualifiers to start! :D

Strange day at the office today .
30 pts ( last 10 holes of rain )

8 pts on the front but something registerd on 2nd shot into the 8th

8 pars 1 birdie on d back 9 for 22 pts,
7 birdie putts all had a look at going in .
Out back 9 would be considered the harder 9 too .

Played Saturday at The Oxfordshire. First time I've ever played the course and absolutely loved it.

Birdied the 1st two par 3s, was +1 going into the 8th and attempted to go for the green, only just being short. Ended up with an 8 so +5 after 9.

Couple of poor holes towards the end but finished with 35 points with 5 blobs, my game is back and boy does that make me happy!

Sat at BD, played okay in the thunderstorm, hid under trees for about 20 minutes in total :eek: 3 birdies, managed only 1 lost ball. Right pick and mix game. Such a lovely place to play golf.

Sun at home club, played again near a thunderstom, its a weird old game, no lost balls so a result, played 14 holes. Driving it like a exocet heat seeker, chipping like a bronty and putting like an scotty. But the irons were a miss, missed greens from 15, 30, 30, 65, 67, 84, 91, 108. Shot just under handicap for those holes and won the matchplay, so not all bad.:LOL:

Well, another beautiful day at Ellesborough, and after Fridays disastrous decision to put in supplementary cards, we thought we would do it again
as we couldnt possible play any worse

I started with 2 blobs and had another one on a 2 shot hole 7th, However I was scoring well on the other holes and ended the front 9 level with Imurg on 14 points, CVG was way out in front with 15
Not disastrous, but not really what you want with a card in your hand.

Anyway it was a game of 2 halves, Imurg had a dose of the twonks and couldnt score for love nor money, ending up on 26
CVG was steady with a couple of bad holes to finish on 29

Meanwhile someone scored 18 on the back 9 to finish on 32, just one outside buffer :cool:

So close.

Still that is my 3 cards in now, not being able to put any in last year, so at least my handicap should now be official

Need to eliminate the blobs, thats my next task


Winner Winner Chicken Dinner :)

I just remembered that I posted that I played on Saturday but completely forgot to give a blow by blow account of all 75 shots including the mahoosive hook that was so wide it finished completely the wrong side of the lake on the left of the green :ROFLMAO: ?‍♂️

Hopefully not a long lay off Gary?

Did the same with my ankle, an hour before 1st game back.

Have hobbled round 4 times and made it worse ?‍♂️

Rest properly, dont be an eejit like me!!


Could be a while. Hurt myself two days before the big return. Played then had a lay off. Went back and played when I felt a little better but put me back to square one.

Silly.

Spotted a cancellation on BRS this morning so got my kit together and headed out for a round on my own before this afternoon's persistent rain - got round dry.

Shot 83 with three sevens on the card - all of them very avoidable - especially since on the other 15 holes I hit the ball well, played sensibly and was never in any trouble, had one birdie and could have had a good few more. Note to self - if you hit it in the long grass then take your punishment that way it only costs you a shot.

Got a few days off. Lunchtime tee time with some good company. Got there early and hit some balls. All good (to the point where I left a load as I was hitting well). Topped tee shot and no score on the first. Cobbled it round of a fashion but tee shots were woeful and managed 14 points going out. Got something resembling a swing towards the end and managed 32 points. As I've said before even with what was a 5/10 game today I am still managing to get it round and use my shots to recover from the bad tee shot, get back in position and then hit a green

Played today in the Monday Stableford and took 35 pts. I am feeling more and more consistent but unfortunately that includes a consistent blob / poor hole and some really dodgy putting. I hit the SI 1 par 5 today in reg only to 4 putt it. I left feeling deflated but after going over the round in my head can see that I need to tighten up on the putting and start converting my FIR to GIR.

Its coming... I feel like there is a very good round in me soon.

Will hit the practise range this week... being off at the moment has led to me playing a round 5/6 times a week... its great and benefiting me but working on 150 and in will hopefully move me closer.

Started off like a train. 14 points for the first 5 holes. Then slowly but surely downhill. Ended up with 29. Not sure what went wrong, but being positive, no sign of the shanks which plagued me last time out.
