It was a stableford competition but I had no blobs so I recorded a gross score on every hole. I usually have between 2 and 4 blobs but that day I didn’t.

I played West Lancs yesterday in a BB open, luckily dodged the weather. We had 36pts and our playing partners had 45.
49 &48 were the leading scores ? now bearing in mind the weather was awful all day til we teed off at 330pm, I find it hard to believe those scores were accurate.
Played today in th society and scored 37pts. Some good holes and a few poors ones. Overall happy with how I played.

Usual Thursday knock... ok front 9 to be +1, then lost distance control & short game on the back 9 to finish +10, rubbish.
Fuming right now, with myself. Stroke play comp, 2 under h/c after 9. Put a relatively simple, although above my feet, shot Oob on a par 5, walk off with an 8 ?. Par the next then pull 2 tee shots in the rubbish, can't find either, walk of shame back, 5 off the tee. Long par 4 into the wind, walk off with a 10 ??. Putted well so steaming that I made such a mess.
Hopefully can get out for 9 tomorrow to exorcise the demons.

Next round, and giving 11 shots this time. Went behind on the 1st, tight game, level after 8. His birdie on 13 put me two back but won the 18th to level - just a par this time but a tricky 4 footer.
Managed a great up & down on the 19th for a half (he had a shot), and then also parred 20th for the win ?
Just looked at draw, & if nothing changes will be giving 11 shots in the next round, ha!
Added bonus, has been tipping it down since I made it to the car.

First monthly stableford since we came back off the yellows as the captain wanted it to be inclusive and give the old boys a chance as they can struggle with a few carries off the white. Managed 40 points so will get a cut but doubt it'll be good enough to even figure in the prizes. Hit it nicely apart from OOB on 17 (170 odd par three) and in my defence hit it well but the wind grabbed it and drifted it 10-15 yards in the air. Reckon I'll be off 12 now so going the right way

Went for a friendly fourball at Huntswood. Forecast said thunderstorms but we'd paid in advance as that's how it is at most places now so we took our chances. Huntswood is a very short course off the yellows, it has five par fours that are less than 300 yards, but also a couple of very long par 3s, and a short par 5 at the end, so it's a bit of an odd mix.
Front nine, a few showers but nothing unbearable. I was playing really well tee to green but putting terribly, knocking everything long and missing most of the ones back. Hit five greens in regulation but three-putted three of them. There was one blob at the 5th thanks to a car crash of bad decisions, but still had 18 points at half way.
Then the heavens opened and it was a pretty miserable back nine. No thunder so we didn't have to leg it, but pretty much solid rain for 90% of it. Wasn't too long before grips, gloves etc were all wet through, making it more difficult to focus and hit decent golf shots. Two more blobs, but it still hit it pretty well on some of the holes - 16 points coming back for 34 total. 87 gross, a bit disappointing as I see it as quite an easy course, but the weather was definitely a factor this time. Hope my clubs dry out by tomorrow as I'm playing my 2nd round knock-out match.
Edit: I nearly forgot the best part though - actually had a pint at the end! First pint after golf since March. And was much needed after that.

Stableford yesterday, late tee at 4pm bit that meant we missed the rain and the course was quieter.
Not a great round but a 78 for a +7 (38 points) but with CSS projected at 69 looks like close bit no cigar. Two stupid and wholly avoidable doubles in the mix but not going to complain about any round sub 80 with 4 birdies in there.
Greens were superb, out new greenkeeping team are really pulling together nicely.

And I couldn’t hit a green to save my life! All good shots but pins were tight to the edges today at the par 3 and I fell for a few of them and ended up on the fringe/fairway.
I also hit a couple of poor shots alignment wise or wind misjudgement, hard to tell which it was as the just edged off the green.
Chipping was on point, holed one and lipped out on another. I also putted great, shot 28 for +1 gross with 2/9 greens hit!

Medal this morning and it was a joy to play. I got drawn with the junior captain of 7 and he was playing amazingly, 1 over for 18 holes, losing it in 16 and 18 for a sub par round. The other guy, also of 7, is usually a great approach player but it wasn't his day. 1st group out and it was just flowing nicely in the 3 ball. Probably the nicest round I had so far in a competition.
I shot 54 out and 50 in. Lost my sub 100 on 4 holes. Shanking a layup into the water on 6, similar on 8 where after that I duffed a couple of irons on top of that, on 14 I reached the green side rough in 3 and the green in 7, and then on 17 par 3 I went 3 of the tee for a 6. I left to many puts short as well, and if not short I rammed them past way too far. Thats where the 2 other guys nearly always left themselves a tap in and I had to work for 2s. But still happy with the putting, 31 puts total, just would have nice to be a little lucky there, maybe saving 2 or 3 shots.
A sub 100 is definitively on. Got a 101 last week, a 104 this week. And I finally hit some proper 6i so giving me approach range up to 150ish now. 5i still a bit hmmm.
2 weeks of no competition coming up, back to the 9 holes for me, and maybe a round of the yellows as as well.
