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

Out with the lads today..cooler initially but the heat soon got going...
The day could only go downhill after the start..all 3 balls on the green in regulation and I walked off with a birdie...
New irons worked pretty well, I think the ball may have hit the pin on the par 3 13th but we lost sight of it in the bright light - the pitch mark was dead in line with the flag and tee and the ball was 8 feet left pin high......weak putt:rolleyes:
Kept the scoreboard ticking over on every hole but a bit of a weak finish to only get 2 points off the last 2 holes for a 31 ( according to Fragger) 32 according to me after going back over the round whatever it was it was enough to derail YotF once more.....
Going to try and squeeze in as much golf as possible next week as I'm back to work next Saturday
 
Good form continued, absolutely knocked it out the park on the front 9, 24 points. Was flagging on the back 9 due to the stifling heat, and the fact I was stupid enough to only bring one bottle of water, but managed to keep it going to finish with 40 overall.

Have got a lesson booked for Tuesday to work on my driving as I felt I was hitting it too high and losing length as a result. Sods law, driving was great today, so in 2 minds whether to go ahead or cancel.

You must have stolen my swing from Wed :ROFLMAO:

After the adject dross on Weds I bogied the last for a 73.

Felt like a golfer again, was really flushing it just, couldn't hole anything.
 
Played at 11.10. Already getting hot. Drove the first from around 210 yards and then had the obligatory three putts. Managed to get it round in 33 points with a couple of no score holes. Short game with the exception of bunkers (three up and downs from sand) bit ropey which annoyed me. Room for improvement and hoping the new driver arrives for the morning
 
With the back still being bad I ventured out this evening for a few holes with the lads.

Only brought my wedges and putter. Let one of my friends tee off. Then threw a ball down and let him hit an approach for me. I played the hole out from there.
Few pitches, couple of bunker shots, the odd chip and putting was as much as I was ever going to muster.
Enjoyed being out for the walk. Got to keep the short game ticking over but know in my heart it will be a while till I can play properly.

OAP GOLF I'd call it. Actually very enjoyable. My mate said he was sweating trying not to lose my chrome soft. Haha
 
Played again tonight, 12 holes, +6 son was +9, he's 13 now as long as I am, won't be long before he is leaving me for dead. Really enjoyed it, nice clean ball striking and putting was pretty good, lost 2 of the shots on 1 hole as well with a poor tee shot.

Course seemed quieter as well which was nice.
 
First comp at the new club and the greens destroyed me... again. 12 points front 9 19 on the back. Here’s to +0.2
Shot of the day was a 5i on 14 from 180ish to - without Exaggeration 3 inches. Shame it was following 3 off the tee. 3 off the tee on 2nd and still scored a point and birdied 16 for 4 points. There was some good golf in there but having a few blow up holes is ruining it. greens were crazy slick. Putted 6 foot past the hole from 3 feet on the 4th ?

Soaked, drowned rat, terrible on & off wet conditions

Lost a ball on the 5th after 2 decent pars, it wasn't even a bad shot, in that you wouldn't expect not to to find it just right of the green in the open, so that annoyed me and I imploded a little then, more-so then when every bounce was going against me and I was piling on the doubles for just being a yard or two left or right of the greens!

Then I had a rules scenario that caused a stir and ended up with me hardly being spoken to for a few holes and created a sterile environment for the back 9.

Horrible round/day, should have walked Max instead.
 
First comp back this year for me this morning. NQ Saturday sweep, scrappy in places had 4 doubles but still played decent and posted an 80. Short game and putting were strong points for me today.
