Great course isn't. Always gets overlooked when golfers are travelling up or down the M62.

A thoroughly splendid evening round at Swinley with Fragger and everyone's best mate Paul....and his mate Shane.
P,ayed a matchplay, highest and lowest against the middle 2.
Not if me and Paul won 6&5 or 7&5 or whatever but we thumped them!
I played my best round at Swinley out of the 5 or 6 times I've played there....35 points..wel,pleased with that.
Played pretty solidly, a couple of birdies and one triple, tee shot had a loom at the hole on the 17th...
All in all a splendid time.......

As you've already read twice, I had a great day at Northwood with Traminator and Blue in Munich. Started blob, par, triple bogey, birdie which was a decent summary of the whole round for me really - a mixed bag. Finally got some good golf together in the final third, only 1 over for the last six holes which scrambled me 34 points. (Although I will admit to one mulligan and a generous gimme or two while at my lowest ebb in the earlier part of the round.) 
All in all top weather, top company and the pints in the sun after went down very nicely. Many thanks to Traminator for hosting and nice to meet BIM also. Cheers fellers.
Edit: And I have just noticed I've got a fair bit of pink on my arms from that sun.

Very pleasant 15 holes yesterday evening - and would most likely have played to my handicap if we had had time to complete.
But it is sooo frustrating at the moment as my short short game has gone madly erratic. In 15 holes - six times I had either three putts or very short chips on and two putts - and another couple of sub-6 footers missed. Now for me that's a lot. It's usually the bit of my game that hangs together and gets me out of trouble. Even the law of averages would surely have seen me doing better half the time - and that's four shots - which off 9 is a lot.

I played today, and wish I hadn't. It was like I'd never played before.
Started of embarrassed, ended up ashamed.
I was pathetic.

Played this afternoon. Felt crap after comming off 12 hour night shifts but fresh air helped and struck the ball very well without holing any putts.
Don't think I've known the Silloth greens as receptive although we have had a lot of rain this week and the course has softened right up. Certainly not the dry, parched links we were enjoying on re-start.
Switched to a Bridgestone BX ball today and thought it was excellent altough the wind was very very light today so will know better after Saturady when there will be more breeze.

Went for a hit at St Andrews Links Academy range tonight after work, mainly to see how it was working since reopening - it's well organised, one way system and balls picked up at reception on payment instead of from machine. Trackman Range iPads have been taken out but you can still use it via phone app. It was busy. Out tomorrow evening but not sure how far round we'll get with some four balls booked a bit ahead of us and then again early on Saturday morning.

I was due to play nine on my own last night. Went to hit some balls and entered shanksville. Left the balls dumped the round and headed to the bar. Nervous about my round tomorrow

Played Eastbourne Downs today. Another glorious day on the South Downs. helped by 39 points which coulda/shoulda/woulda been more but for 2 lost balls and the odd wayward drive.
Replaced the regular flex shaft in my driver with a stiff one to test it out yesterday. Didn't get a chance to hit at all before playing, hit 1 good, 1 bad and 1 belter that went through the green! Was it the shaft? doubtful. Will I take it?! Absolutely!

Seniors Pairs Betterball Open at Cosby GC today. After two badly pulled drives on the 2nd and 4th (due to trying for a controlled swing), decided to really swing through the ball and started launching some long drives and straight with it. So much so that on the par 5 9th I measured my drive at 282 yards, which beat my previous longest (277 yards on the 14th at Tandridge last year which was downhill). One of the other pair even mentioned that my driving was a pleasure to watch. Sadly, only made the most of the drives on a few holes and we posted a score of 34pts. When we left 41pts was leading and so not a high scoring event, but a pleasant afternoon on the course.
9 holes late yesterday, just the 3 of us playing skins along with thousands of ants on the greens and spotted some huge clumps of them on a fairway ? ?

After scoring 47 (best yet) on my front 9 last Thursday I played yesterday and topped all my hybrids and most of my irons were thick and put in my worst score ever. Plenty of doubles on the card and it was a medal otherwise I would have walked off after 9 holes. I have gone from breaking 100 for the first time to not being able to hit a ball in. A week.

played Tain yesterday afternoon, in fantastic condidtion considering the GK are still FurL, all the work being done by members.
Lots of Broom and Gorse gone and replaced by natural grasses

Played The Staffordshire last night, what a beautiful course. £1000 membership for there and Perton Park included, sorely tempted by that when we move closer.

Still stuck in the good 9/bad 9 loop, started terribly yesterday, (didn't feel that great in the heat), but woke up on the back 9 and came back in +1 to rescue a 79.
