played with the boys at Nairn, great game, but struggled to hole anything of note. hit the ball really well again esp irons.
putting was tricky as they had sanded the greens on Tueday ( Ladies Day) not doubt they complained, but when are the green staff meant to do this work other than during the week

It's the Ashludie Links at Monifieth - the pic is the 6th green, really need to go out and photograph it as I have with the courses I got paid to photograph during the Open and the Dunhill. Problem with that is if the light is right I'm probably going to be playing instead of wandering about with a camera.
wish you would never played it despite playing Monifeith loads of times.

Probably too short for you Patrick, lovely wee links though.

Lovely and quiet first thing this morning, felt like we had the course to ourselves in places.
Very ordinary, thank god I wasnt hooking the driver like Sunday so managed to hit a few fairways including the 4th and 16th which Ive been missing a lot lately.
Great little birdie on the par 3 6th, should have been another on 15 but gave myself plenty of birdie opportunities which was nice, shame I only converted 1.
35 points.

I'm back to a complete mess again. Can't hit, can't putt.....I really can't improve much on my swearing so I might go in Friday morning and practice golf. It's going to be a beer night........

Played the Wednesday comp today, twice as good as Sunday as I got to the 10th before throwing it the towel......
Utterly embarrassing standard of play, complete waste of a morning.

22 points on the front 9, but through a combination of slow play and me running out of steam on a muggy old day, ended up with 36.
The pace of play was chronic on the back 9. There were 2 young lads (visitors) in front of us being held up by a ladies 4 ball. At one point we were stood on the 13th tee, the lads were waiting forever on the fairway for the 4 ball to clear the green so they could play their approaches, meanwhile I could see the 14th and 15th had no-one on them at all. But there was no way the ladies were letting them through. Pretty poor.

Day two of lads golf trip. Another shocking front nine by all three of us, but yet again I switched on on the back nine and scored 17 points this time to win by a country mile to take the Trigonal Pyramidal Cup
Final Day tomorrow at Disley. Early start as well. 8.50am. This is for the main cup. The Norbreck Cup.

Beer night for me tonight. Good miss with wind and a heavy shower apparently. Don't get stressed as you know it's in there. Hope the range cures the problem

I've been struggling recently (12 handicap) to break 90, last few rounds between 91 and 98, which has been really getting to me, biggest issue has been hitting greens from any distance over 10 yards. Then driving with any club, then any iron or hybrid or fairwaywood, then, well you get the idea. Went out this morning not expecting anything different.... 7 birdie putts in the first 10 holes (only made 2) and 9 birdie putts in total (still only made 2). 7 fairways hit off the tee (2 more in the 1st cut) only 4 missed, not counting the par 3's.
Made 83, with an 8 on a par for and 4 three putts. What could have been!!
And the best of it, I have no idea where it came from!
I love this infuriating game

Scored well today with an 86. Odd thing was that I didn’t feel that I was striking the ball that well, but was pretty good on and around the greens. Hope I can continue to play to this level.

Spent an hour on the putting green before giving up on grooving a fault - it will come back when it's ready.
So went out for 18 holes with no intention of scoring - barely putted, hit irons off tees to give myself longer shots into greens, deliberately under clubbed on approach shots so I had to force them, chipped and pitched with different clubs.
Loved it, probably should have only played nine but was enjoying myself too much - getting a wee bit dark when I came of the 18th at 10pm, nights are drawing in already.

When we go to those parts we often play, Monfieth, Panmure and Carnoustie, then either Blairgowrie 9 holer as on the way back, but there never gets mentioned, maybe i will suggest it next time

Been playing pretty well since we got back post lockdown. 2 comps have seen cuts to 5.2, picked up a prize in an open and social golf has pretty much always been around par.........then last night for some reason it was like I'd not swung a club in years. Missing greens with wedges and hitting a big fade that went nowhere. I literally had had zero idea where the ball was going. Just when you think you have it, it bites you in the behind.

I had that on Sunday. Had struck the ball lovely on Saturday and didn't score well (34) but hit it far worse on Sunday and had 37. Been far more consistent of late (ranging from 30 which in the past would have been a 24-25 up to 37-38). Distance still an issue for me and feel I've lost some but far happier that in the main I can find a way to get it round. I guess the old adage of no pictures.... is true
