Whats up ?

Did I back in. Then tired to play while it wasnt fully healed. Back to square one.

Just back from a quick 9 and I don't understand the world anymore. About 10 days ago I was shooting well, 220 yard drives onto the fairway, ... . Then last week it all went awful, 130 yard drives into the rough, topping balls on the fairway, ... . Yesterday I was awful with a bit of promise on a couple of iron shots.

Today I drive like toffee, but my irons are flush. I might not have hit the greens, but I was always close to them at least. And with the recent short game session I actually rescued some holes with that. Also having 14 puts for 9 holes was great. So I cam off the course feeling a bit deflated because I drove short, didn't hit greens, ... but when adding up the shots I got to +10 again which equals my best score from a couple of weeks ago on my hot round.

Another round with the Slazenger Johnny Miller set this morning.

Poor outward nine for 12 points, OB tee shots on the third and seventh didn't help...

But much better inward nine for 21 points including back to back birdies on the par 5 14th and 15th holes.

Results just in from the weekend.
-0.2 for Saturday’s round and +0.1 for Sunday.
One of our youngsters shot a -8gross score Sunday. 4 birdies & 2 eagles. Utterly mind boggling his new handicap +1.8.

Different game for these youngsters, I wish I’d started the game at 6 instead of 36 ??

Shot 83 (would work out at 45 stableford points) for second day running and was heading for a round in the high 70s before a nine on the 17th, wasted opportunity as there aren't many days with little wind at my place. Didn't hole a single putt of more than five or six feet and had a good few decent looks at birdie without converting - Enjoyable but intimately frustrating round.

34 points. Normally I'd take that but hit the ball so so badly. Scrambled brilliantly and pitching in particular is a revelation since watching a Danny Maude video on youtube. Bunkers much improved and had it not been for my ability from 60 yards and in I doubt I'd have made 25. Putting it down to a bad day and try again tomorrow

Didn’t think we would get out due to the biblical rain/thunder & lightening that kicked off 5 minutes before our tee time, I was soaked from getting my stuff out the car... glad I waited it out as 71 blows later I have a new PB and should be cut down to 8.

Decied to put in a card today and lost the ability to putt and my driver was the worst for quite some time with pulling most left. Still managed to score 34 points, which is encouraging.

18 at Hindhead, my new club. 17:30 tee, gotta love summer evenings!

They say photos are worth 1000 words so there's a few here: https://www.instagram.com/shooter_mcpowick/ Thanks to my playing partners for their patience as I was snapping away excessively.

Pretty solid but the heather is so punishing - had to hack out sideways a few times. Coming from a parkland course where you've generally got a shot at the green if you're a bit wayward.

Anyhoo, nothing fantastic and only 1 blob for a round of 85 for 33 points. Still getting used to the greens, 3 putted a couple of times...

Absolutely smitten with the course!

Another round with a supplementary card this morning. Started with two net bogeys, but was patient, started to play well and ended the round with 42 points. If I have calculated correctly, that's a cut of two shots.

The improvement has come about despite having hit no balls on the range since March and only half an hour of chipping practice in May.

Excellent work Sir.....

I had a 2 hour lesson yesterday with Paul Foston, which I wrote about yesterday and we concentrated on short game and putting. I played a 4bbb quarter finals today and had a 5 iron in to the 18th ( 187 yards par 3) and a 5 foot left to right downhill swinging putt - nailed it to move in to the semi final ???

 

[Imurg]

My best round since lockdown..
Still only 33 points but I hit the ball so much better and seemed to have a modicum of co trol as well.
A stupid weak putt on 17 and a even more stupid blob on the last killed a decent card.
On the 18th (par5) I was 40 yards from the pin in 2 when I just simply shanked it into a bunker
Got out and 3 putted as my head was exploding...
Not a good end but the shoots of a game are there.
Birdied the first which is always dangerous.....
Oh, and in case anyone is interested....Fragger was dismantled...Deguello! No quarter given...

Gross 78, nett 74, 2 double bogeys (including a 4 putt ), and only 1 birdie - given back the 0.1 I got cut on Sunday

I was getting a lot of practice hitting low 4 irons from under trees

I play off 30, I know I’m better than that, I generally score in the 90s of yellows. Since lockdown eased I’ve scored 91 twice, really frustrating to be so close to breaking 90. I’ve joined a new club, a couple of chaps joined me and gave me the guided tour on Tuesday, played off the whites and scored 103, was quite happy with that as I’m not a big hitter. Played today, off the whites again and scored 92! Over the moon! I didn’t even feel I played that well, driving was poor, but my chipping was decent and gave me a fair few 1 putts. Can’t wait to get back out on Monday now!

Played very well today and was stood on the 18th tee par 4, needing a 5 to score 89. Debated playing safe and hitting an iron but I’d been driving pretty straight all day, so stuck with it. Tee shot faded into the rough but I still had a shot to the green. Yardage was an 8i but being uphill and sat down a bit I took a 7i, poor strike and left it 10 yards short of the green. Tried to calm my nerves for the chip but caught it a bit thin and ended up with a 15-20 foot downhill putt for par. Missed by millimetres and sailed 5 feet past, a la Martin kaymer at medinah! My pp (eagle2 off this forum) was as nervous as I was as I settled down to the uphill putt, which just about dropped in the hole! 89, yes!!!!

Next target 85...

Desperate to get my hcp down. I played poorly for the 30 and every comp since then has been a non qualifier due to the weather/course conditions and obviously coronavirus.

got soaked. Could not have been wetter, and then the lightning started.

It's all about timing...was great at 7.20

Third and final game of my three day break. Stupid game in that I hit it infinitely better than yesterday, lost two balls and scored the same as chopping it round. Actually enjoyed today as the ball was going forward and no 150 yard slices with driver. Hit some balls on the practice ground after working on the takeaway feeling I have and definitely moving in the right direction. Hoping for a break in the forecast storms tomorrow and easy first day back in work so I can hit some balls and work on it again

So happy for you. I tee'd off at 10.10. Started raining on 16, hosed it down on 17.
