Out for a hit on the Ashludie at Monifieth in the wind tonight - nothing great, putting is still very poor and irons were pretty inconsistent - took a camera and snapped some pics.

Great pictures! Looks a great track!

Put my last card in for handicap, 55 (par 33). Really feel like ive lost my way the last few weeks. I know i am capable of shooting 45, was aiming to beat it a few weeks back but have shot 50, 55 and 57 since.
Nothing worked tonight, trusty hybrid off the tee was slicing or going 120 yards, wasnt hitting my irons well and was thinning my wedges. Putting was ok.

Intrigued to see what my handicap will be, think my scores have been 45, 46, 47, 50, 55 & 57.
I'm going to throw out a guess at 24.
It will be based on your best card so will be something like this ^^^ . Maybe up or down 1 depending on how many "big numbers" you had in your 46. Fongers crossed

Played here last year on the way to St Andrews, really enjoyed the course and would definitely go back.

Rollercoaster golf continues ?

Played Hollins Hall, no buggy ride up heart attack hill to the first and the wind was brutal!! Really struggled front 9. Ball was ballooning on every tee and fairway shot no matter what I tried which lead to really poor shots. Calmed myself down and just wanted to enjoy the back 9 and played pretty well. Pins were in ridiculous positions on some holes so a few putts harmed my card and finished the back 9 with 18 points. Course was in great condition though.

Played yesterday evening with Junior who is down this way on holiday and my friend Louise. Lovely evening, great company and some decent golf followed by a beer afterwards. Exactly how golf should be (y)

Was such a lovely day, was really looking forward to it and started with a nice par.

Proceeded to lose 4 balls:D and as a pair we scored 35 points, wife had a mare and her partner had more than a few putts on the slopey greens, they scored under 30 points:LOL:

Great day.

I played a super course yesterday, Cleckheaton & District, the weather was terrible with strong winds and rain but it didn't detract from the course which we all really enjoyed.
It is also very easy to get to being only about 400yds from a junction on the M62. Well worth a visit.

Played a mizuno pairs match at etchinghill.

I'm happy to report that the golfer from the front 9 yesterday turned up and had much better stamina.

A pb Gross 76 (par 70) for a nett 61 made the matchplay a bit of a write off. We won 4&3, could maybe have been over sooner, but I gave a few gimmies to keep it social....

Well played Dave. (y)

A very enjoyable round at Northwood GC, courtesy of our host Traminator, with Orikoru making up the three ball.

First time at Northwood; it is a tight course, rewarding good driving, and requires sensible placement on a number of holes and a degree of local knowledge which Traminator kindly provided. It is not a course that can be ripped apart, more one that needs to be gently teased if it is to give up birdies. The greens were excellent, my putting stats being by far the best part of my game. If I was local I'd be more than happy to play it regularly. Thanks for the invitation & the beers Ian. (y)

Good to put a face to another forum name in Orikoru; he'll make someone a wonderful 4 ball partner off his current handicap and should be well able to get lower with some short game improvements. Well played Olly. (y)
