Best round I’ve ever shot today in the “club day” which replaced the regular captains day as our captain stayed on for an extra year due to Covid.

130 man field and I managed to win with a gross 73 (3 over par), for a net 66. Won a friggin motocaddy trolley!

And with that I also met my target for the year of getting to 6 as I got cut from 7.0 to 5.8.

It’s gonna be a tough day at work tomorrow as I’m absolutely hammered writing this. Life is good.

43 front 40 back. Club champs was full but got a tee time in the afternoon. Fairly mediocre golf for 17 holes and then with the club champs prize giving on the practice green, clapping and cheering I split the fairway with a great drive. 180 left I thought I can’t risk hitting Cameron Montgomerie so I’ll club down, leave myself an easy chip - no drama. Stuck the 6i to 8 feet ? missed the birdie putt ?. Epic ending to a beautiful round of golf. Sunset over 17

Sunday bounce game. Great four ball and had a great laugh. I had 34 points not feeling like I played well which was pleasing and found out I came 4th in the stableford on Saturday and another small cut to 11.8. Only downside to yesterday was a 27 handicapper shooting his best ever score and accumulating 46 points in the process to take the cash with ease. It was great to watch and see him getting more excited and nervous at the same time. Fair play and he didn't no score at any hole. Really pleased for him

Beau Desert, Wind assisted almost drove the 1st, never normally get close to it

Was 2 over standing on the 9th, decided I was going to drive the green into wind. Three balls donated to the forest, I failed and decided best to move on. Remaining holes fairly okay, 7 over plus the blob.

Millionaires golf, sun, hot, firm and fast, greens rolling a treat, course looking ace, wife playing better, relaxing, what more could I ask for.

We did hit it well but it seems like everyone in front wasn’t.
Came 7th with 41 pts and £60 each so not so upset now.

+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.

Results in, new Hcp 2.4.
Finally made it back to 2....for at least 1 round anyways. It’ll no doubt be 2 x 0.1’s this weekend.

13 GIR, 1 eagle ?, 2 birdies ?, 3 bogeys for 1 under on last day of holiday ✈ ?

That’s good golf , anything under par on your hols is very nice.

round with the boys this morning, started off couldn't have been worse, found one of the new bunkers off the tee on the first, right in the face, and could only go out side wasy into waist deep rough. 2nd ball hit the SH on the edge of the fairway and bounced straight right into a big cump of heather, could only go sideways, got a good connection straight though the fairway into the deep stuff on the other side so two doubles to start with.

all good from there, 6 birdies, 3 on the rest of the front, 3,4 and 5, then 10 15 and 18 on the back...

oh and i became a millionaire... , our match 4 BBB was for £1m a virtual one anyway

We played Bonnyton GC 3 man Texas Scramble open comp, scored net 61.2.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, somehow I re-discovered some of my long lost driving skills but my chipping ability seems to have disappeared

I liked it there but the midgies were unbearable.

I was just over the railway on Hillside.
Course was lovely but greens quite slow

Enjoyed it mate, we got collared with the weather but i amassed a fair 27pts considering the conditions I thought I done well!!

It's in great nick, a real pleasure to play just a shame it's a ballache to get too and from.

Had a good chat with the pro, a real nice guy.

The weather was a lot better than the day before....?

Glad you enjoyed it, out of the way for sure but worth the effort.

Agree with you about the pro, he is a great asset to the club. Excellent coach as well.

It certainly is. I might be back up in Carlisle next week so once confirmed I'll give you a shout.

Yeah he seemed like a really nice fella, very helpful. You're a lucky guy playing that week after week.

We expected some but we didn't encounter any, maybe because it's been quite dry for the last few days and a strong breeze. Plus they've cut down a lot of trees.
I enjoyed my golf today for the first time in a long time, now I'm looking forward to my next game
