I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

[OnTour]

37 pts +4 gross finished 19th - had it -2 gross early let it slip on the so called easy holes. finished with 2 x 3 putts chasing when out of position. Lesson to learn play the course and get cut as winning is a course record day. 42pts won and 41pts picked up. So 1 putting instead of 3 might have squeezed into the prizes but ended with no cut or prize !! dummy

Getting a lower handicap is more important.

I just had my worst round in recent history. 54 shots (+21) on the 9 hole course I usually go around in 42-44 shots in.
Apart from the approach on the 5th, the tee shot on the par 3 4th and of 7th I shanked every iron shot. I also shanked every pitch shot which until the round was my strength in recent weeks. Driving was way below average as well which is why I had to hit longer irons in the 1st place.
On the flip side, putting was great, which is where I lost my shots in the comps last week I played fairly well in.
At least I found 2 of the balls I lost on the 2nd drive next to the 5th green again. I had no idea where they went.

Lesson booked for tomorrow, it's probably just something very simple again and I don't want to grind the shank it in.

Just remember a shank is millimetres away from being a fine shot

Early morning solo round today...meant I could try and work out some strategies for the front 9 as I have for the back....
1st comp tomorrow so I played off the whites and, all in all, it went really quite well....
17 points out with an infuriating bogey on 9, the expected bogey on 10 (although I have parred it the last 2 or 3 rounds), and then the back 9 kicked in and i went on another par run.
A couple of good scrambles for nett par, a couple of lip out birdie putts and a solid par on the last for a total of 37.
Best score off the whites so far - +8(79)..
Of course it'll all go to rat poo tomorrow but at least I know I can do it....

Lol never understood that.
A shank is right off the hosel, relatively quite a distance from the centre of the face.
I think someone was having a dose of the Shermans and made that saying up to cheer themself up a bit ??

In fairness I always found it amazing how I could hit the 1cm wide hosel five times in a row, but can't hit the 2cm wide centre of the club 5 times in 20 attempts.

Clubs of the day:
Dunlop Peter Thomson persimmon 1 wood, late 1950s

Scoring a bit lacklustre but enjoyed it, 91 gross and 32 points.

As long as the positive thinking is working. You sound as bad as me. Fair to say the 10th is in your head now, despite the brief respite of two pars

Doesn't that also mean that a fine shot is just millimeters away from being a shank?

Doesn't feel like it when you bash the fifth ball off the side wall of the bay at the range and everybody is giving you that disapproving "what are you doing" look

 

[Mandofred]

Our best ball on Saturday was won with 51 pts. Ouch. Two 47's were second. A couple of the guys in our biggish group had 28 after 9 and then blew up to "only" 46 pts.

Lovely out there tonight - bounced around holes where there was space so that I didn't have people in front or behind me, excellent fun. This pic is from 9.50pm - got another couple of holes in after this.

I played Royal St David's on sunday, not particularly well like but nevertheless.

I thought It was a really nice course, not too punishing with some really good holes.

Definitely return soon.

After earning a 0.1 at the weekend I brought out the "lockdown net" for a bit of skypro and video work yesterday. Went to the club tonight and what a lovely evening - there wasn't a breath of wind.
Didn't have a worldie but things did feel tighter and repaired more pitchmarks than I've needed to for a few games.
Highlight was finally making par at the 8th (my 17th tonight) which had been starting to annoy me.

After saying to myself and others that I’ve overgolfed and shouldn’t be playing, it finally dropped for real yesterday.
It’s just a game, a hobby etc etc - but I’ve never been so close in my life to snap every single club over the knee. I had to just walk the last hole with the rest in the group as I probably would have done it had I tee’d off and seen another ball go OOB.

Rest of the week without golf, and when going back, it’ll be around the practise green instead of going out on the course.

A lot of meditation needed before I step out on a course again.

1st comp at the new club and...............
Leader in the clubhouse with 38 points.
Long way to go and many more scores to come in but I'm chuffed with 78 gross.
Unexciting front 9 but a back 9 of 22 with 2 birdies in the last 3 holes ( one of them a 2) and a cut should be coming my way as well as some 2s cash...
CSS currently down 1 and if it stays then I'm back to 8...
Happy days...

Top man. Great finish. Did you par 10

What do you think..?
No need to answer

 

[shun_naka]

went out to finish off the back 9 after my front 9 was rained off...like a different person out there in good conditions

Hit a 66 for the front 9 (shocking i know) and then 51 for the back 9. Some difference when i leave the driver in the bag and forget about trying to hit the pin - a nice and simple shot going about 150 yards each time is all im needing

hopefully i'll be close to breaking 100 soon enough

 

[Mandofred]

Reversal for me today. Usually a good front 9 and then kaput. Today +5 in the first 5 holes and then +2 the rest of the way. I just kind of gave up and started swinging easy.....I just try too hard and rarely anything good comes from that for me. HCP should come down to 9....although getting results lately has been real slow.

played with the Boys this morning and though the forecaste was good it was raining when we tee'd off.

again hit it pretty well and the putting was much better even holed a couple of tricky 6 ftsers for par, highlight of the round was the worse drive of the day a snap hook of the tee on 16, lucky it went in a NPZ and got a drop back on the path, stll 264 to the flag, but had a flash with the 3 wood, flushed it bounced between the middle and left hand green side bunkers on to the front edge and sank the 20 footer for bidie, never get that with a card in my hand, one bogey 3 birdies though it was of the blue tee's (old yellows)
