I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

First one out at 7am. Weather was glorious. Never saw a soul until walking down the 6th I could see 4 women walking down the 10th, they had obviously started there. Had caught up with them by the 13th, happily they let me straight through. Finished by 9.45 and home for 10am.

Played decent, 39 points, but putting is still poor, managed to miss a couple from less than 2 ft. If I could sort that out, the handicap would be tumbling.

Well my target for the year was to break 90 and I managed it last night. I didn't just break it, but smashed it with an 85! That won't seem like a good score to a lot of you, but I'm usually happy to keep it to double figures, so I'm very pleased.

I didn't get off to a great start with a triple at the first, but quickly got into a good rhythm. Only one other double at the 9th and the rest were all pars and bogeys.

Only thing to work on was the putting - 39 in total, with some 3 putts from positions where on another day I might have been dropping for 1.

I played this afternoon.
Nothing to see here.

 

[Oldham92]

Louth golf club.

91, which is a personal best.

Annoyed not to break 90 for the first time though.

Needed a par on the par 5 18th for an 89. Pulled tee shot into the trees for a penalty, and then 4th came out really hot to fly the green meaning a chip on and 2 putt left a double bogey for a 91.

Just got in from a splendid, albeit scorching day @ Royal Winchester with paperboy, papas and stevew.

The golf wasn’t pretty at times but the company was good and the course was worth the almost 200 mile round trip.

Highlight for me was a 204 yard 8 iron 2nd shot on the par 5 9th to about 18 inches for a kick in eagle

Quite liking this part time work thing and playing 4 or 5 times a week......
Out today with Fragger..10/10 to the meteorologists.....2% chance of precipitation and we got it most of the way round...
Just a drizzle most of the time but got heavier occasionally
Matched my Medal score yesterday for the front 9 (+3) with no birdies.
A lazy double on 10 as I leant over Fragger's line to tap in from 18 inches...wasnt lined up properly and missed it. Would have marked it in a comp.
Then got 18 points on the next 8 to finish on 37..1 under handicap which would have got me a top 5 in the Senior Champs....oh well....
Fragger dismantled once more but he's breaking 30 points regularly now.
Might just have to go out again tomorrow for another go.....

Braved the heat after a long day at work, didn't fancy trying to race around 18, so let a couple of groups go and thought I'd play two different balls and some different strategies. Cue 5 off the tee on the 1st ?? Thankfully the 5th was a peach, and was mostly okay over the 10 holes. Went back to play 1 to 3 again, missed a 3 foot for birdie on 1, then 2 more pars.

Had a great little knock around Cullen this evening. Old Tom must have been on psychedelic drugs for some of the design. Had a blast around it. Loads of tricky par 3’s on the course. Weather was superb for it too.

Brilliantly fun course

For the first time in a comp (mid week Medal) everything clicked. I knew it had been bubbling away close but last night I shot the lights out!
3 over gross (off 13)! Buzzing I’ve done it, just need to go out and do it again on Sat I’m board comp!

 

[Imurg]

Gross 77 (+6) for 39 points including a 2 on the par 4 11th....with a couple of double bogeys in there
Best round of the year.
Glad we were done before 10.30...ridiculously hot out there now.

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Well, I was due a bad round. Don’t think I’ve ever strung together so many low 80’s before. Midweek stableford and every club in the bag was cold... well, 36°C to be precise, geez it was hot out there!
No excuses, just poor golf - opened par-double Bogey-bogey-par and then it was just a grind to make net pars. There was hardly a breath of wind in places which made the 36° feel even hotter.
26 points with only a few moments of brilliance.
Course was immaculate!

 

[hairball_89]

Ball striking with my irons easily is the best it's ever been at the mo. 18 round holtye this afternoon in the scorching sun.

Few wayward tee shots but got round for 37 points and beat my mate 3&2 after being 3 down after 8!

 

[Crow]

Played at Morecambe GC in a P&B event, tight course and the rough was punishing, read into that what you will for my score.

 

[davidy233]

Mixed bag - awful irons at first, sorted a bit later on - lovely five wood (which doesn’t normally get in the bag) from the rough into 35mph wind on my last hole.


Incoming - storm skirting the course as I finished

 

[rudebhoy]

9 holes on my own last night. Was lovely and quiet only 2 groups of ladies who let me through straight away. Hit a few poor drives but irons were excellent, really hitting them flush at the moment. Nice 19 points in an hour and a quarter, home for a few beers and dinner in the garden, all in all, a very enjoyable evening.

 

[BennyBoy85]

Managed 12 holes yesterday before melting in the heat!
Came off with 21 points, still struggling to play to my brand new handicap of 24 (after 10 years without playing regularly).
7 of those points came on the last 3 holes so I wish I’d have finished the round as my ball striking seemed to improve. Plenty of range time needed still ?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Front 9 : Drove well, best hybrid striking of the year so far, tidy short game, decent putting. 20 points, happy days ?

Back 9 : Driving became mixed, hybrid striking continued well, short game okay, putting declined ?. Two inexplicably bad holes, no excuse just bad play, led to 15 points ?. All thoughts of glory and a handicap cut gone ?. One pulled 7 iron on a par 5 after 2 lovely shots will haunt me for a day or two.

As my son asked "are you going to join me on the sulk train?". Get me a ticket, I'm coming aboard ?

It was "millionaire's golf" this morning. No comp this weekend and most members playing Sunday. Just a 3 ball about 3 holes ahead, wasn't rushing so whenever I came close just did some extra chipping & putting.
Despite feeling not too bad had managed to use up all my shots by the 12 tee ? 4 pars on the bounce gave hope, but just one more on the last.
Was proper hot when finished and a big group prepping to go out - good luck to them!

 

[Mandofred]

Made a swing change a couple days ago that is really paying off. Hit the ball pretty well today......my putting is pathetic. Hit one decent putt all day......probably 5 putts from 15 feet or less for birdie and didn't come close. 37 points (it was Presidents day...so it counted ...White tee, Stableford) with a blob....I'm back up to 9.5(10) from last weekends mess. Considering how nice it is today, I don't think there were many good scores by 1pm. Going back to my Fetch for Monday....I can't putt any worse.
