played in the Moir silver trophy this morning, out in one over on the front 9, not a bad shot in there and a 3 club wind on the way out, started birdie on the back then the wheels fell off, couldn't get it off the tee on 13,14 and 15, dropped 6 shots in those holes, finished with 3 pars on 16,17 ans 18 for a gross 78, and buffer, pretty brassed off tbh

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 ?

have done that a couple of times recently, it's heartbreaking!

have done that a couple of times recently, it's heartbreaking!

We can bond in our misery ?. 4 1/2 hours since I hit the shot, I feel no better ?.

Yes, hugely annoying. To waste good shots with an out of nowhere rank one is hard to massively frustrating.

30 degrees in South Wales today.... the Celts were wilting..... net one under in the medal... very pleased

36 hole medal today. Played pretty well both rounds apart from 1 dodgy hole a round.

Unfortunately I had a DeChambeau on the 6th in the morning round where instead of chipping out sideways, I decided to keep hitting hybrid out of a half decent lie. Ended up with a 13 which will go to an 8 for handicap and hopefully buffer.
Then hit a gross 84 for a nett 4 under in the afternoon which was annoying as I lipped out on the last for a 5 under round!

So hopefully a little 1.2 cut depending on CSS.

38 points in monthly medal so hopefully another baby cut. Won't win but may squeeze a top three again with some luck. Didn't hit it as well as I did warming up but got it round. Finished with two one point holes which smarted. Missed the green on the 219 yard 17th and with no shot anymore didn't risk a fancy pitch so made sure I hit the green and took my punishment. Good drive down the last but too far left and then made a mess from 100 yards in.

Kudos for just playing & completing 36 today! Nice one with the cut.

Seems like you are on a good run at the moment.

Thanks Kaz. Third in the last stableford, win in a honour board pairs event and a potential top 3 but handicap cut. Down from 13 to 12 and hopefully not too far off 11 soon

Played at the home course today, with two mates, one a 30 hcap, one a beginner who just play off 36. Played off the yellows (except for one par 3 where the yellow tee makes it rubbish) mostly because of the heat and we wanted it to be a nice relaxed one.

I doubled bogeyed the first after my tee shot was about 25 yards right of the green. After that very steady bogeys and pars though. Birdied the 4th as well which is a rarity as it's a tough hole. Front nine shot 38 and breaking 80 was on (didn't add it up to know it was 38 but knew I'd done well).

Unfortunately the back nine didn't uproot any trees. Started with four bogeys, then two pars with a decent birdie putt missed on the second of them. Bottlejob complete as I hooked my drive (unusual for me) on the 16th, having to chip out and could only make double bogey, and doubled the 17th as well. Finished with a gross 82 for 38 points. Shouldn't be disappointed with an 82 really but the 79 was there and I couldn't quite grasp it, haha. Last week's back nine with this week's front nine would have been a 75, but them's the breaks I guess. Not enough pars really (five), bit of a 'nothing special' round with plenty of bogeys.

Weather was great. Touched 34° apparently but there was a bit of cloud cover and a light breeze that made it feel perfect. All of us had a couple of cans in my back garden for the post round pint - lovely stuff.

+1 gross today, edging closer to 2hcp.

Some odd shots today. I’ve noticed this year more than any previous seasons I’m getting fliers from the rough. 188yds out, wind off the left, a crap yardage for me as it sits between 6 & 5. Went for the hard 6 as it looked like a flier lie....airmailed the green. Over a 200yrd carry. Made a lifetime up and down for par which stopped the head from popping off.

39 points today and lost out on the winners prize on countback. Surprised to be that close as you usually need 40 points at least just to be in with a chance of the minor places. Pleased to get the first cut of the year especially as i had the yips with the driver again from the 8th tee onwards.

Stableford comp this morning. 35 points. A decent score, helped by a birdie on our SI3 hole for 5 points through a holed lob wedge shot over a bunker. In fact my chipping and short approach play was as good as it has ever been. Unfortunately, the putter was cold and so wasted many opportunities for birdies or pars.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Played yesterday, not particularly well but still enough to win the money...Oh and with a chip in over a bunker birdie 2 even though my PP said I'd fatted it ?

After I had 3 awful 9 hole rounds this week I had a lesson on Friday. Today I had a medal competition.

There wasn’t enough time to grind anything in so I took the adjusted swing and went with it.

1st tee, 3 of the tee into prime position on the fairway. Duff a 100 yard approach and walk off with a +4 8.

2nd hole, amazing drive, bad bounce on approach, chip and 2 put bogey.

3rd hole, 3 of the tee to a prime position for the dogleg, put it left and I think I got a 6 here.

And do it goes on and on. I never had a bad position off the tee, but I had 2 more 3 off the tee in that. And my par 3 tee shots were not great either.

But from 14 onwards it kind of clicked. Amazing iron shots, a couple of birdie puts, only bad shot again a long par 3.

And I left a lot of puts short again.

Shot 56 going out, 50 coming in.
6 of the 56 are 3 of the tee, 2 of the 50 are drops from water.

Happy with the play, not with the score. But something to build on.

 

[full_throttle]

3 birdies, to score 18 out and 22 back, 40 in total playing off my 'Sunday' handicap 17, collected the prize for back nine and overall, big cut on the way. only one N/R after going in the water off the tee.

Next game not until BHF day at Coventry GC, lets see how the swing behaves on Thursday

Lost my club championship final on the 35th hole. Hit it beautifully off the tee all day but struggled on the greens which is becoming a recurring theme for me, unfortunately. Was the right result in the end, my opponent played very steadily for most of the day and made some good birdies at critical moments.

Great achievement getting there in the first place ???

Unlucky Kaz...but I'm sorry..we expect better from you.
I think you should go and sit in the corner and hang your head in shame

 

[Cherry13]

My first medal of the year, finished with an 82 (net 73). Dropped 7 shots on two holes, a 9 on 14 and 7 on 18, just some really poor decision making.

Also 37 putts, with far too many 8-10 footers missed. Definitely a round of what could have been, but a bit of a confidence builder for the club champ in a few weeks.

 

[Eagle2]

Lowest score at my new club and 41 points in the Monthly Stableford to get me a 1.5 cut. God you love golf on the good days don't you ;-)

Played Hillside in an open 4bbb 5 hours and 20 mins.
Slow is not strong enough a word.
Lovely course but 5.20
