First qualifier in a while 35pts didn’t really play well. Beers on the patio afterwards ??. That’s what golf is about.

Not my best. Measly 29 points and feeling as though my run of average if consistent playing is on the cusp of turning sour

Managed to make buffer zone for the first time this season, coming in with 37 points.

Not played, but lesson this evening.
Wanted to work on the driver because it always goes left, but the warm up started pants so we worked on irons 1st.
Turned out I crept to close to the ball and therefore came out to in again. Worked on that for a bit with some rhythm exercises thrown in, and then moved that same strike into the driver.
At the end we hit some long irons (5i) as well.
This was a productive hour. Hitting consistently the same spot with the iron and dealing that into straight, driver launching again (turned out I hit down before) and long irons had flight like I have never seen it before.
PLEASE DON'T LOSE IT ON THE COURSE!
Well, I had good lessons before but it always deteriorated after a while.

Quality day even as we missed the rain ?
And we also manage to witness the worst putt ever recorded on The Old Course.

First comp in over 2 years today. Got my HC back last week after 3 cards, still off 9 (9.3). Played a steady round, couple of blips for a 75 nett 66.
A 5 on the par 3 9th and a 5 on the easy par 4 6th were the blips.
CSS projected to be 70 (Par 71, SSS 70)
Felt good but a couple of alarm bells that my shoulder is feeling a bit tight tonight. Need to keep an eye on that.

Saturdays MEDAL - standard 2nd hole smash it into conifers that protrude the driving line double bogey 7 +2 settled down reached the turn +1 missed 3 7ft birdies. new Hi-TOE 58 wedge let me down no feel for the 80yrd shot and dropped 3 bogeys on the bounce from good position. ended with +5 75 last birdie effort on last from 5ft another not touching the hole. confidence is still high and building a solid game in 2020
At least it didn't rain too much this week

Scored 95 in a strokplay that included that horrible 5 putt, scored 83 yesterday for 41 points, strange game

Medal yesterday, great start then eventually gave up on the back nine after a shot into a hedge and didn't bother to hit a provisional. Actually some good things came of the round though....the front 9 I was pretty happy with the swing and if I could putt I would have been even par. I might switch back to my Fetch putter from the Odyssey Ten I've been using. I just start daydreaming too much after half way and stop turning very well. Stopping at the half-way house is NEVER a good thing for me. I just never seem to bring things back after that break.

I would describe my game as “Rusty Beast Mode” at the par 3 today.
Knocking the skin off the ball, chipping great and putting really well.
Generally hit the ball well but just not playing well enough to take advantage of it.
Pars felt easy, took hitting a tree to make a bogey. One one hole I hit three great shots, just all the wrong ones for the occasion...
Roll on the next round!

I’ve played a couple of times since I last posted;
81 the week before last, started terribly and was +8 after 7.... I was still +8 stood on the 16th tee, pushed one right but found it, had an 8 in my hands but the wind picked up so went back to the 7.... wind dropped and I flew the green into a dead spot for a double, add in a double at 18 and a very frustrating round.
78 last week to buffer, a better start but dropped 4 shots on 7/8/9, very annoying as 7&8 should be birdie chances. Birdies 10 & 11 and was ticking over nicely, then dropped 4 shots on the last 4, including a double on 16 from the middle of the fairway with 112 left in!

My birdie putt on the 16th at the Old Course. I was on the front of the green and the pin was about 7 foot onto the shelf which was about 10 foot infront of me. So in all with the slope up, a putt of 20 foot. Slight turn from left to right. I proceeded to pull it straight right and hit it about 45 foot. Snatched bogey from the jaws of birdie....

Another 33pointer yesterday - and that was with missing a few inside 6ft. So need to sort that out. But got a little reminder that the unmentionables are still there if I try and manufacture something clever - as I did from a divot hole on the 2nd. Middle for diddle with simple bump and run then two putts for a five and 2pts - I’ll take that thank you. But no - tried to be too clever with the bump and run from the divot and a seven and blob results.

technically yesterday but...my first summer time visit to Stoke Park. Its a beautiful location, especially the Colt loop, but with the wind up, this was possibly the first time I've felt like a golf course was set up to make people look silly - the greens were like billiard tables, and some of the pins were cut so that you had little chance of keeping the ball close to them. Still enjoyed it mind - I "only" had one four putt and three threes, compared to one of my playing partners 3 and 5!
