Whats this no wind you speak about?

I thought Nairn was a proper golf course....

Played again at Moortown this week - not played there since 2017.
Fab course in its usual excellent condition, really enjoyable - and as a two ball we got round in 2 hours 40, which was also great.

Strange round today, some very good holes mixed with some bloody awful ones. Was creaming the ball, but far too often in the wrong direction! 6 lost balls : driver, hybrid x 2, 5 iron, 7 iron and 8 iron all disappeared into the trees. 25 points despite not scoring on any of the 6 above. Hard to figure out what went wrong. All were good clean contacts but all the wrong direction!

Nine holes today off the yellows. Too hot for more given I was playing with some older golfers who were struggling. Managed 19 points swinging mediocre and pitching/chipping averagely so that was pleasing. The breeze picked up and was actually quiet hard to play in

Played an after work 9 at the par 3, ball striking good but went off for 4 holes in the middle, got it back for the last 3 with only minimal damage. I found out how to get it back if it wanders which is a good thing!

29 with two birdie putts slipping just by and two others coming up short, putting is good but really struggling to get chips and long putts to the hole, usually leaving then 30% shy!

At least i was knocking in the 4-5 footers i was leaving myself more often than not.

10 holes today at Inverness, far too hot and humid (unbelievable I know) ??
Driving crap but rest of game was ok, short game was excellent.
Going to try and get some lessons in as I have 4 left.

Was just over the road at Sandmoor today but much prefer Moortown.

Wowzer, how long was your game in total, 10 hours+?

Well that was hot yesterday at Maxstoke playing in their AM AM.

Teeing off at 1.30 wasn’t ideal, made worse by the group in front losing a hole within 2 holes?.

But it did lead to me achieving a course record, in that, I consumed over 2 liters of liquid & never needed a pish?

Greens were tricky as usual, team never gelled, & with 2 to score on most holes with 3 to score on the par 3’s & a couple of 4 to score holes, it just didn’t play out on the day.

I was pretty steady, putting for par on most holes but bogied most, birdie putting on 2 par 5’s & parred them, just couldn’t get those single putts to drop.

Turned with 18 points & finished with 33 off 90%, but could have been much better had a few putts dropped.

I think the heat, which was the hottest & most draining & uncomfortable conditions I’d ever played in, coupled with the slow play on the front 9 all affected the team.

But some good banter was had & Jason our club champion shaft snapper finished with 14 clubs intact, which is a positive ?

Bring on today’s comp ???‍️

Captain's Day today, best score on the 1st, best 2 on the 2nd, best 3 on the 3rd, rinse and repeat.?
Really good fun
As a team we played pretty well going out - had 43 points.
Our 29 handicapper contributed 2 4 point holes and a 5 pointer by making a birdie with 2 shots..
9th hole was a bit of a let down with just a couple of points.
Fragger then had a chance to Beat the Pro on the 10th, knocking it to about 4 feet but blew it... he did have a birdie on the 8th so I'll let him off.
We lost our way a little for a couple of holes, the wind kicked in and made things tricky.
The 15th was playing approximately 630 yards....tee was as far back as it can go, pin was 3 yards from the back of the green, we were into a 20 mph wind and it was uphill...won't be many good scores on that hole today.
Nearly a hole in one on 16 - a tap in birdie set us up for the final push and we finished with another birdie at the last.
2nd as we left but there's the rest of today and the whole of tomorrow to go.
Enjoyable. As was the burger and beer halfway...

Medal today, same ol' story. 39 on the front and then steadily fell apart on the back. Ended up just giving up on our 15th (actually hole 12, but we adjusted holes to keep people apart) after hitting the blasted 100yd marker and sitting in the edge of the hedge I somehow hit that ball through the hedge onto the other side. I then had to hit that away from the hedge so I could hit over the hedge. But, hit that one into the hedge again and said a foul word and packed it in and took the NR. Just really inconsistent the last week. Might go back to more of a stack+tilt swing since I'm starting to hit fat again.

 

[Fish]

Should have walked Max instead

 

[full_throttle]

missed a 3 footer on the last, signed for 41 points. two penalty shots one OOB one in water, otherwise steady.

Stupid, ridiculous game!

August Medal today. Front nine, awful. Hitting it all over the place, don't know if I'm going left or right. No pars, four bogeys, four doubles. Triple on the 9th with a lost ball and I'm dead and buried. 48 out.

Back nine and it's a different game all of a sudden. I got SEVEN pars and two bogeys for a 2 over back nine, plus I should have holed a 3 foot birdie putt on the 14th as well. Sunk a 20 footer on the last which was nice way to end. 37 in.

Total 85, net 69 which is only +1! It was the golfing equivalent of a team being 6-0 down at half time and coming back to only lose 6-5. if only I knew what the hell I did differently! Stupid, ridiculous game.

 

[Bdill93]

I’m really, really, really bad at golf at the moment. That is all ?

 

[patricks148]

had a couple of guys down from Tain, enjoyable game but so slow, 12 guys playing two groups in from holing the whole course up, i don't think i saw any of them on the fairway... saw them on the beach plenty on the front 9. one of them even managed the beach from the 8th tee

4 hours plus, played pretty well 4 birdies, happy with that

 

[Lump]

Distinctly average. 14 pars, 2 birdies and 2 doubles for a +2 gross round. With the normal CSS for a medal it should get me down to within a hairs width of 2hcp.

Playing partner was a +3 golfer. It’s so hard mentally, I’m not sure how they do it. Think he shot -1gross but didn’t really get going.

 

[Deleted member 3432]

Iam mentally weak.

Standing on 5th fairway, 310 yards to go and 250 to cross bunkers.

My though process is, don't go right on the beach like 2 weeks ago, do go left like reload 2 weeks ago.

So OB right onto the beach and big hoick left. Got lucky left and got onto the green from there only to 3 putt for an 8.

Never recovered from that and just leaked shots, short game and putter very moderate.

Some good ball striking in there, just need to trust my swing more.

Much windier than forecast, front 9 a very stern test and quite cold by the time we finished.
