Terrible round today, worst 9 holes since lockdown. All drives went left, straight as an arrow, no hooking, just left. What can that be? I think the club path is out to in because I am standing to close to the ball? Could that be the cause?

Irons were even worse today, only 4 shots did actually fly, one of them a provisional I didn't need at the end. The rest just bobbled down the fairway. Chipping was bad as well. Did OK on the greens.

But I finally got a birdie. I think it is my 1st after lockdown. 109 yard par 3, left myself a 2 foot put. Never been so close for before with a tee shot.

Played 9 holes in the wind, like being out on the links but with trees to hit.

Shot 1 over gross, didn't lose a ball, super duper days.

All playing well and won the matchplay 2:1:1.

Well yesterday was rubbish. 23 points I think the unmentionables really kicked in on the back 9. I can't seem to bring my range form to the course. Not quite back to the drawing board yet.
Back to the range and a drill I can do at home without clubs.

I believe he plays with his wife and son and counts how many holes they each win - because I asked him before, haha.

after not playing this weekend and Fridays terrible game, i wasn't looking forward to playing today, esp as the weather forecast was pretty poor with rain on and off.

got to Nairn, bright sunshine all the way round with a nice westerly, played pretty well and unlike friday didn't lose a ball, 3 birdies, two 2's. 3 bogies rest pars... happy with that

Fair weather golfer, thats the problem...

I will have our swing back now, need it tomorrow and Thursday. Switch of days this week to avoid the 50mph winds forecast on Friday

Turns out my 35 points were good enough for third place in the pro's competition yesterday. Feel I left a lot out there and 4 points in three holes really derailed me from 13-15 but considering the lack of competition golf and a few swing changes I'm working on it's encouraging

Cracking day today. Shot 81 with a birdie on 9. I had 5 birdie putts, not easy ones but still 5 chances. Only missed one fairway. Controlled driving. And it was windy.

Some of my golf shots are worthy of TV at the moment. Honestly. I'm amazing myself.

'Int golf great.

 

[GG26]

37pts today in strong winds so quite pleased with that. However, missed three putts of around 2ft so need to sort that part of the game out (longer putts are fine).

This went mildly better than yesterday. 1st drive straight into the left ditch again but at least I could find it, iron went OK. From the 2nd drive onwards I kept half of them on teh fairway, half of them left again. No idea why, think I am to upright for them. Irons went better than yesterday, actually getting some flight out of them and hitting (but often rolling off) greens. But 20 puts for 9 holes doesn't allow a good score.
Highlight was a flop shot on a short sided flag on the green within 2 yards which I ruined with a 3 put. But that shot was a turning point on teh 5th when it all started to go a little better.

On more 9 tomorrow, hopefully I can start where I left off today.

yesterday afternoon, went out with a couple of 5 day members who need a card marked for handicapping purposes, steady on the front nine, a three put didn't help. but returned 1 over hc, then something happened, I went the next 9 holes with 7 pars and 2 bogeys, so a total of 85 blows, or 7 under my handicap, whichever way you wish to look at it.

First out with Fragger at 7 this morning.....a bit of lightnrain but the gales of the last 2 days had calmed down.
Ballsed up the 2nd hole completely but after that was pretty steady.
Found the middle of the club more often than not and the short game was pretty hot.
Turned with 17 points to lead by 3
After my customary bogey of the 10th I went birdie, per, par, par to rack up 12 points in 4 holes.
Slightly weak finish with a single point on 17 after finding trees and long grass but a nice regulation par at the past sealed a 20 point back 9 to, once more, dismantle the YotFragger by 8...
Equals my best score since joining so pretty satisfying, although it means I'll probably play like a dog tomorrow..

Played a new set of irons I picked up last week, Dunlop Sixty Five, early 1980s.
Played 4BBB and me and my partner lost 3&1.
Didn't hole out everything but think I'd have scored around 35 points so pleased with that, hit some lovely iron shots too!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Liking the look of @Crow's 65s - anyway...

Looking out of my window and hoping the rain goes off - think it will. having a knock with couple of mates at 6pm and keen to see if I can continue a run that has seen my last three rounds (s/ford) be 37, 38 and 34 pts. And NO 'passes'...

Just checked results from Saturday and my 34pts has me in joint 10th. So that's OK.

Interesting though - the conditions on Saturday were difficult and 7 of the top 10 stableford points were single figure players. Other 3 being h/cap 10, 12 and 18 - with the 18 being a rapidly improving youngster.

One of those days where you can’t hit an iron shot but your short game is a reel of Phil Mickelsons best bits.

My putter must have known my new scotty has been despatched!

 

[rudebhoy]

Solid 35 points today. Other than 2 blobs after getting into trouble off the tee, very few bad shots or mistakes, pleased with that.

I had that last week. Hit the ball as poorly as I can remember from tee to green and not one club in the bag working. However I chipped, pitched and escaped from bunkers brilliantly and still cobbled 34 points

 

[DanFST]

Still can't putt.
