Smashing 38 points in pretty wet conditions. Short game was Bob on today. Chipping was sharp and putts within 4ft largely went in. What a difference that makes.

Biggest issue is maintaining concentration for 18 holes. I struggle to keep my brain tuned in during the middle period and that hurts me. If I can cut out the daft errors then I can add a good few more points on. Bring on the next round ?

Another day where i i can't hit it any better but could not score, two 4 putts and at least 4 three stabs, I couldn't have putted worse if i'd had my eyes closed and puted left handed

Got to be worth a try ?

35 points thanks to very solid putting... 1st 4 ball comp since March.

Pint on the patio. Ah.

 

[Mandofred]

Pairs comp today, played a LOT better. The fix I put in yesterday at the end of practice did the job. We both fell apart at the end, I was starting to swing harder yet again......but was happy. The leaders had 47pts last I heard.

??. There is only one Tashy ?.

It must have been the excitement of getting a decent score.

Constant rain throughout the round made for a pretty miserable day and a total of 32 points. Where the hell has the summer gone, oh I forgot, we had it in April and May when the courses were closed.

After two buffers it was inevitably 3rd time unlucky today ? Strange day, seemed like every GIR resulted in a bogey (& not from long distances), but made a few pars with longish single putts. Was frustrating and I thought the score was worse than it actually was so even more annoying how well I played the last 4 holes but for only 1 par.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Far better. 36 points and made a mess of the last to not score anything there.

 

[Papas1982]

Same old, same old.
30 points from 10 holes and then 9 rubbish ones for 35 points all in.

Seem to be having a poor run around 11-16 on most rounds atm!

Glorious sunshine and blowing a gale - the norm for each time I've been out recently. Fun trying to drive the short par 4s that I normally have a full wedge into but I'm not sure that's doing my long term golf any good, I'm going to be back to hitting a driver 200 instead of 280+ when autumn comes.

Putting still very poor, anything over three feet is an absolute adventure, I've stopped counting how many three putts.

And if these boys at Muirfield Village think the greens are hard to hold they should come to my place - proper links golf, bump and run city.

But despite the faults in my game and how tricky it can be to score at times on a very firm and windy course I'm loving being out there, best money Ive spent this year was my links ticket.

Morning golf tomorrow, which makes a nice change and while still windy it's meant to be slightly more gentle than this afternoon was - looking forward to it.

I've heard of that feeling, enjoy!

Well well, huge improvement today in the comp.

Shot 75 so that will get me back into Cat 1 with some wriggle room.

Front 9 very tough into the wind but controlled the shape of my shots miles better than recently.

Couple of shots wasted by negative thinking and lack of commitment but the general quality of ball striking was excellent so hoping for more good things.

First Medal at the new home and I started par-birdie guns blazing. I was anxious for some reason despite playing with two regulars. Average golf ensued 3-6 but parred SI1 7th and then a triple bogey on 9... cracking drive left me a 7i that I hooked into the heather. awful lie That took 2 to get out.
Another par-birdie start to the back 9 and then 3 putted 12 for a double bogey. 13-15 quite solid and another birdie on 16. Finished par-Double bogey for a gross total of 80. Frustrating as I left 3 shots out there easily.... still, 80 nett 67 in my first medal and that +.1 the other week is a distant memory.

Well done for getting back to Cat 1 even leaving a few out there. Mind you isn't that what we all say even when play well. We're never satisfied even though these good rounds are outweighed but the not so good

So frustrating!! Again. Been gradually getting better each round lately and then yesterday go backwards.

You know when you step up to ball either on the tee or fairway and just think I'm really not sure what's going to happen? This feels like where I am. Drives all over the place, fairway shots hit and miss and my normal decent short game full of fats or just terrible shots. So annoying.

Enjoyed being out, course was fantastic and shared a beer with my brother in law but my golf and his last 5 holes was way below average.

Only plus of the round was I made a birdie on a par 3 which is possibly a first in a long time.

Definitely a mind over matter issue. Remember the good stuff and forget the bad. I had a round like that a week or so ago

 

[Robster59]

A really weird round today. Out in 49, back in 38 and not a 4 on the scorecard. Terrible front 9, pulled it together on the back with 2 pars and 2 birdies but overall, somewhat off on my behalf.

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Yesterday’s gross 80 net 67 in the July medal Was enough for second place and a 0.9 cut. Now officially playing off my lowest ever handicap. Chuffed.
