Congrats on the HiO, were was the pin position? When/how did you find out it had gone in?

middle of the green slightly left if anything

It’s a 160-170 yard uphill creamed the tee shot saw it bounce and thought that looks close ... the 13th tee box is left of the green seen the 3 lads in front going mental so knew it had dropped ha

18 hole stableford competition - 34 points - with six 3 putts & a few complete duffs - aaargh
I played with two 14-year olds - one off 4 & the other off 15 - Each scored 41 points
I think I bested them on 1 hole
They were really wonderful lads to play - saw some truly cracking shots - the lad off 4 had a bad putting day as well

Second round of the match play knock-out today. Playing an 8 handicapper so I had 8 shots. Duffed the tee shot on the first, one down. Duffed my way up the 2nd but managed to get a half with a shot. Won the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th to go 3 up. I don't think I was playing particularly well but I had a shot on three of them so obviously used them well. It was all downhill from there though. He won the 8th & 9th, we halved the 10th with me getting a shot.

On the par 3 11th he holed a 20+ footer for birdie, I also had a 20-footer and hit it perfectly, but it hit the stupid metal Covid ball-grabber thing and stayed out. Gutted. That put us all square. On the 12th I get a shot, he sliced his drive well right but got the luckiest bounce of all time off the far side of the ditch that shot it back to the rough only just off the fairway. My drive went left (a rarity for me) and I had to chip out so that was my shot gone. We both found the green and he holed another 20 footer for birdie, I didn't hole mine so that was me 1 down again. He won the 13th as well with a par as I duffed my approach with the pitching wedge. Halved 14 and 15. On 16 I get a shot, his drive goes a bit left, mine a bit right. He has to lay up, I decided to play safe and lay up too, but made an absolute arse of it and hooked it left into the filth. It started pissing down at this point which was all I needed after getting drenched yesterday. Two hacks later and I was off the back of the green, nearly holed the chip but missed the putt coming back. He had a downhill two-footer for a five, I just conceded the match because I couldn't be arsed with it in the rain anyway.

At least I didn't go out in the first round! Never mind, onwards and upwards.

Stableford comp today, usual pathetic start, duffed my tee shot on the first and didn't even get past the ladies tee!
2 points after three holes, 12 points for front 9, 17 points back nine for 29 total and another 0.1 back.
On the 15th hole from position A, I just didn't commit to my 8 iron shot and it landed in the pond, dropped back a nice distance for a full SW but again didn't commit and dropped in the water.

I was playing the Slazenger STM irons and 1 wood too, think I was too excited as I've been wanting to play them for a while.
Last night in readiness I cleaned about half a pound of filth off the ancient Golf Pride Victory red grips but on reflection I shouldn't have as I think the layer of grime was all that was giving them a modicum of grip, today they were just slippy. Hopefully I'll have time to re-grip them this evening in readiness for Tuesday's game.

Played my first Medal in 3 1/2 years today.?.a Board comp..The Earl of Buckinghamshire Medal..been played for for about 80 years or so....
Front 9 of +4 was to handicap so pleased with that - even more pleased with the 2 on the 5th
Back 9 and the weather started to turn...wind kicked up, rain rolled in and out making it a bit unpleasant at times...
Was OK on the back until the 17th.....par 4....took 8.
Got stuck behind a tree, punched out and got a horrid lie, pushed into more trees etc etc.....
So nett 75 on a par of 71
CSS looks like matching SSS atb71 so currently just outside the buffer.
But not hugely unhappy.....currently a solid 36th out of 75....

Had a wonderful weekend. Came 3rd in my division yesterday with 40 points (admittedly off the yellows) and a nice cut to 12.2. Went out today in a nice fourball and promptly went round in 77 (+7) gross for another 42 points this time off the whites. My swing was far better yesterday and I felt I hit my approaches closer but the putter was on much better form. Rarely got into any trouble and the one time I hit a drive in trouble I got lucky and had a full shot, decent lie and threaded it through the gap perfectly to let me pitch on and two putt for a dropped shot but a net par.

It’s a good Par 3 and wasn’t sure if any pin positions can be seen,
Congrats again, hopefully not too long until the next one.

 

[Rlburnside]

Shot 86 today which included 8 pars, I’m currently 17 h/c so I’m happy with that, took my old putter out and had 30 puts which always helps.

Not bad for a first medal in so long. We dodged the rain but the wind was quite strong at around 20mph (gusting stronger at times). Shame about the penultimate hole. Dare I ask about 10? Solid mid table position so you didn't do bad

10?
Solid bogey....

Top man. Out 13th is like that. Only 186 yards of the whites with a massive dip and dead ground before the green so you have to carry it all the way. One of those where you can mark 4 on my card most weeks - although got a rare par on it today. I thought when parred the 10th 2/3 times recently you'd turned the corner

I know. Two days running. I'm worried there's a golfer about to break out

Stableford comp Thursday, shot 96 for 31pts (1 par and 1 birdie)

Round with my son Friday, scored 98 (1 par)

Round with friends yesterday and equalled my best previous score of 83, including 10 pars and a birdie.

Stableford comp this morning, scored 93 (34pts). 4 pars.

It still surprises me how my scoring can change so much from day to day. The flag positions were the same each day and the only difference was today was off of the whites, with the previous three rounds off of the yellows.

Just need to have the good round in a competition now.

Managed 14 holes before it looked like the skies were going to open(they didn't)

Won the matchplay 5:2:0, the new swing thought seems to be working a treat on the irons.

Should have play in the captains days earlier in the day, as Two'd all the par 3s played(three).

 

[DeanoMK]

My first monthly stableford at Leighton Buzzard yesterday. I had a really good lesson on Friday and felt adequately prepared for the day, I even squeezed in a decent warm up.

Blob on the first.

12 bogeys, 2 doubles, 3 blobs and a birdie giving me 27 points. Meeeehhhh.

 

[Dando]

I played Warley Park for the first time early yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the course - I don't think there is 1 flat putt on the course
shot an 81, beat my mate 6&4 and finished with 40 points despite ballsing up the 17th when 75 yards from the green after my tee shot.
no 3 putts, no lost balls and was hitting my 3 wood and hybrid pretty well.
now down to 13.1
hopefully going to get a game at either Weald of Kent or The Ridge on Wednesday afternoon as I am in the area getting my caravan serviced.

Roll up this morning at Nairn, 9 shots diiferent to Sat... for a 2 under gross with 3 birdies and one bogey, drove it well, putted well hit irons well. only blemish was 16, hit a great drive left with 6 iron in , which should have been plenty of club, but as it had been raining solid for and hour and a half, it sort of splatted into the front half of the green, but left with a long birdie put which i sent 10 feet past, left the par putt on the edge of the hole.

i did change the shaft in my driver, only reasonwas the grip was worn so took the shaft out and stuck the Motore F1 in, while the leaving other shaft in the shop to get the grip changed.. with pretty good results. i think i will leave that one in for the time being

That's more like it homer.

Millionaires golf today. Almost everyone cancelled their bookings on the club website but me and a mate decided to brave it. A bit rough for three holes then showers, sun, cloudy, (repeat for three hours). Struggled round in 90. Most enjoyable.
