28 points in club stableford last night saw my handicap jump from 23.4 to 23.5 which obviously now means I play off 24.

The way I've been playing recently I'm glad of the extra shot. Last 2 rounds without a par, irons all over the place. Still, there's always this Saturday to find some form

Onwards and sidewards we go.

36 point today, I think my handicap is finally in teh right ball park after last nights cut. Awful around the green today, but my long irons worked well for a change. A couple of tops and a couple of hooks, otherwise some good 5i and 6i play which usually never happens.

Shot +13 at my "trial round/get to know session" at my potential new club, very happy.

First time in a while there's been minimal drama. Still can't putt.

Utter garbage today. My entire game stayed in bed...and so should I have. Got wet through as well. Flippin' brilliant. I daren't tell you how many points won.

Played in a seniors open at Robin Hood GC, Solihull this morning. A longish tree lined and challenging course, with lightning quick greens.
Was on 16 pts through 8 and hoping to keep that going. Once a PP suggested that I had mastered the pace of the greens on the 9th, I missed an eighteen inch putt for a point (my only blob). Drove very well, only once not in the fairway, but failed to back that up on the back nine with the approach play and had several one pointers to end up with 29pts.

Played Alwoodley today, really nice course, played ok

Out in 41 tonight despite an eight at the longest hole into a 35 mph wind, birdied ten and level fours for the back nine with four holes to go. Perfect position off the tee at 15, just needed a little wedge in - shank, two more of them when faced with half shots over the closing couple of holes - I'm going to need to leave myself full shots in or probably more sensibly hit bump and runs when faced with the shots I had tonight - on the plus side putting was a little better.

Finally first proper comp of the year!

I set off after work chasing the unlikely total of 46 stableford points. I even paid my sweep money knowing that was the target!

Blowing a hoolie it was! Three putted the first for a bogey, parred the next twelve holes (including two three putt pars), doubled 14 AND 15 , holed out from the fairway for eagle 2 on 16 , 3 putt bogey on 17 and a closing par all for 4 over.

Grr - so 72% GIR, 80% up and down and still 4 over!!! ....... 4 three-putts!

Stupid, stupid game. Looking for some help from CSS to avoid the +0.1. At least I'm in the 2s money!

I always think an eagle two should count at least double in the 2s money.

Very warm today, pretty wind also!
Can't ever remember hitting my irons so well, can't ever remember hitting my putts so poorly!
I even managed to putt off the green ....................... TWICE.
Once on 14th and then on 15th.
But I didn't care as my irons were things of beauty.
Get it all together and there's a really good round in there.
Ho hum, maybe next week ....................... there's always next week.

9 hole shotgun start comp tonight - played with 3 guys I'd never seen before
Started so badly it was truly painful to watch, then steadied the ship and then played the last 3 seriously well - just crazy
Wasn't counting (1 point after 3 holes in a 9-hole comp does that to me) but apparently I made 20 points and a small cut

Wheels came off yesterday. Been scoring really well recently - last 6 cards were 40, 35, 40, 32, 34, 36 - so it was a bit of a shock to score 24! Other than 2 lost balls off the tee, long game was decent, but short game which has been a strength was appalling, couldn't chip or putt to save my life. Missed at least 4 putts from inside 3 feet. Was never out of bunkers either. Weather was lovely though ...

 

[Wilson]

Usual Thursday night game, an ok 76 which should see me get a small cut back to 8, could have been a lot better but my short game was average and I doubled 16 AGAIN, dropped 4 shots in the last 4 holes.

Started badly today, blobbed the first and scrambled a point on the second, then it all came together. Ended up scoring 42 points, 18 shots better than yesterday!! What a crazy game it is.

 

[Eagle2]

when I have played well I love coming on here and writing about it... today though I played pretty pants but made a score a year ago I would have been writing a full paragraph about.

The beer, company and weather was good today so I am happy enough with that.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Miserable day. 30 points but one of those where I had no idea where it was going shot to shot and where the club was at any point. Too many moving parts. Will hit a few balls before going out in the morning and back to swinging inside the barrel and turn and turn.

 

[patricks148]

played at Nairn this morning, again hit it well, but could not score for toffee, lucky my PP had 6 birdies so we won the virtual pot

 

[Paperboy]

Played 12 holes this afternoon before my lesson in the evening. had 23 points for the 12 holes, including 6 unmentionables

Lesson was good, he wants me to feel as though I'm trying to hit myself on the downswing. Was hitting it lovely, until the shaft in my 8 iron broke :O

So he's going to re shaft it with a regular metal shaft, as when I was fitted 5 to 6 years ago my swing speed was a lot slower then it is now.

 

[hairball_89]

Awful today. Need some bunker practice SOON! hit 5 bunkers, got out of 1 (ONE!) of them first time. Awful. Couldn't blame the bunkers, or the sand. Just me. 1 bloody thing took me 3 hits to get out of! 26 points that, had I got out of each bunker first time, should have been 32/33!

Awful. Anyway, back out on Monday, it really can only be better!

Played at Flempton GC today near Bury St Edmunds, lovely 9 hole course, sort of semi-heathland.
Playing with another vintage golfer and didn't really pay much attention to score on first nine and then played matchplay second time around when I lost 2 and 1.

Playing the Slazenger Peter Alliss irons again, not hitting them as well as Tuesday but chipped well including a chip-in birdie on the par three 5th, a miracle shot for me.

Out at the crack of dawn this morning for my first comp off of the white tees since last year. Drove the ball well, all bar one on the fairway. Irons were not bad, but my putting was appalling. Even allowing for a couple from just off of the green I had eight three putts and still managed 33 points to scrape into the buffer zone.
