played Nairn this morning, hit my irons about as well as i ever have... first medal on Sat, nice to see they stuck all the pins in the hardest parts of all the greens and the tee's are about as far back as they can go, nothing like being eased in

Another round with the Dunlop Sixty Five irons this morning, great front nine for 21 points and parred the 10th but then pulled one OB on the 11th. Another OB on 17 and came in with 15 points but still a good showing for 36 total.
Played an "It-Sits" putter I got from ebay the other week (my second) which I did a quick refurb on yesterday and putted really well with it.

9 hole comp yesterday evening = 16 points
Can't expect much else with 1 OOB, 2 in the water and never holing a putt - ie my usual performance - need to cut out the stupid

Managed 32 points. Strange one. Wind was tricky but hit the new driver really well but felt really strange. Not ill per se but no concentration and a little light headed and spaced. Managed to get some nuts/raisins, bananas and lucozade in and felt better as the round progressed. Very funny feeling and definitely cost me a few shots. No idea what it was all about. Then got wet for the last five holes. Enjoyed the company and a bad round that would have been 25-27 a while back comfortably in the 30's so happy with that.

Enjoyed a round on my own tonight trying out my new Scotty that arrived this morning... if today is anything to go by then it was a sound investment.
it was raining 30 minutes before and I considered sacking it off but glad I didn’t as it had stopped by the 1st green and I played well. -3 under handicap with the obligatory few left out there. Always love having the course to myself.

On the plus side I was playing with a lad that drove our 18th dog leg hole 270 yards carry to the green across a loch, just missed a 12 foot put for eagle. Good to watch

played Brocket Hall Palmerston today off the whites (6800) in a strong wind. Played really well and was 1 over after 6 with 2 3 puts, and pin high left fringe of green after 320 yard drive on 3 (a tad of wind assistance)! Blobbed 7 after a very nervy tee shot when i could not settle in very high winds and lost a couple more balls with a couple of silly shots - then 4 putted 17 and 3 putted 18 for 2 doubles but 37 points, which was enough to win the day

Returned to golf after the 4 month hiatus with a small stroll around the Old last night. No practice swing, just pulled the driver out tee’d up and stuck one right down the line to the gorse bush to setup myself for a par. Absolutely magical, all the feelings rushing back, to be out again with the fizz and tingle I always get heading down the first of the Old.
Doing it again this evening. It’s so good to be out dancing with the old lady again.

Shot 85 in the first comp of the year this morning. Struggled at the start and end of the round today. Missed a few short ones and short game was a bit hit and miss.
But I just couldn't get my yardage today, have been doing some work on the swing last few weeks and have seen an increase in distance. Had 136 into the 14th and hit 9 that pitched two feet past the pin, so on the 15th I had 129 into green which was above me. So gripped down on a 9 to take a bit off, and air mailed the pin by a good 20 yards. 16th had 132 into pin, so thought right I'll hit a nice normal pitching wedge, no this sailed past the pin by a good ten yards.
Just some silly mistakes cost me today.

First comp of the year, 30 points. Had quite a few unmentionables that led to 5 blobs and a few lip outs. First 0.1 of the year
first comp this moring, wet but i nice westerly. struck the ball pretty well, but could not hole a put fotr love nor money, doubt i will every strike the ball so well yest score so badly, gross 80. had 3 puts bounce of that plastic sleeve for removing the ball from the hole to make matters worse.
interesting thing is the R&A course inspector was here last week to talk with the club about set up for the Am champioship, apparently he thought the rough was too penal and to cut it back.... funny enough they havn't, little suprise hardly anyone entered today

Another bogey board comp today.
Hit more than a few unmentionables on the range warming up, adjusted a few things to take out on the course and made a mental note to concentrate on every swing.
Played really steady in the wind for a -1gross (+4 bogey score). Should sneak me back in the 2’s for hcp.

Hadn't made it out to course or range this week so wasn't feeling it for the comp (s'ford this time). Chugging along steady 2 points until a rogue bounce on 5 leads to an OOB through the fairway. 2s a hole again until 9 - a par 3 with a shot! Horlicks made from soggy rough for a blob ?
Found something on 10, which led to a birdie on last for a two over gross second 9 ? Should have me in buffer again for 2nd comp since restart.
Best call my season to an end now ?

Played 9 shot 26 every green in regulation missed out on a couple of birdies ... on the par 3 course ?. Dad said to me just add 10% for yards when they have it in metres. Worked a treat. The Wilson infinity putter is really nice, and the ping tour gorge 50 degree is great .. vokey 56 is sound as well

Entered the comp this time - well I hope it worked as we did it on Howdidido for the first time. First tee shot in the greenside bunker, but actually hit the pin with my bunker shot to get up and down for a par. That set the tone and I had a cracking front nine - 39 out which is very rare as the front nine is much harder than the back nine at our place. Unfortunately I got my first double bogey on the par 5 10th, as I hit a very unusual (for me) big slice with the 7 iron, recovered with a reasonable chip from the trees, but my putt for a 6 lipped out because of the shallow cups (first time I can say that's happened to me) so a little unlucky. Got another double on the 14th as my drive found the horizontal ditch and I three-putted from the wrong tier of the two-tier green. They were my only doubles though and I shot a joint-best ever round of 81 for 40 points. A bit of a shame that I didn't quite nail the easier nine to break 80, but still a cracking round. In fact since we came back from lockdown there's only been one round where I wasn't under 90, I'm definitely playing better than I was early this year.
Sadly I already know I haven't won the comp because my mate managed 41 points off 12! I think he must have shot 75 to get that, so fair play to him. This is the second time I've been pipped to a comp win by him, and normally I'd be gutted, but to be honest I just really enjoyed the round. Our other mate who plays off 30 was playing with us, unfortunately didn't enter the comp because he shot 40 points as well! All three of us playing really well made it one of the most enjoyable rounds in a long time. SSS off the yellows (whites still not out) is one lower than par, so I'm guessing three under net should just see me back on 16 handicap I should think. Going back in the right direction.
Little shout out for my Cobra F9 five wood as well - think I've finally filled that tricky '2nd longest club' slot in the bag. I hit it off four of the trickier tees on that front nine and it was a big part of the reason I scored well. Excellent club.
