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.

I'm up in Fort William at present, getting home next Tuesday so would potentially be free from Weds onwards

Yes I enjoy playing it as it never plays the same two days running.

Aye us paupers were slumming it ?

I wouldn’t call S&A slumming it.
Playing there soon , looking forward to it.

Broken foot and 3 toes, very annoyed! That’s me done for the summer.

How? That's shocking timing

When is good timing? ???

When you've just signed up for a two month sponsored lie down for charity?

Year of the Fragger is in the throes of being completely dismantled and recycled...
A thorough pounding today....No Quarter given.
Very average front 9 of 15 points..+7 I think....
On to the back and only a poor double on the 17th stopped the level par 9.
22 points amassed to leave everyone's "fave" Mod languishing some 12 points back.....
Got in by 10 before the real heat stated to burn...although it got to 24/25° before we finished.

Dropped a 20kg weight on it. Personal development is a mugs game....

That’ll do it, hope you get better quick buddy?

From a golfing perspective and a lay off I'd suggest November-February when it is colder, the courses are wetter and muddier and there is less light. A bonus if snow comes and the course is shut for everyone of course. Naturally dropping a weight is not to be recommended at any time

14 over 86 round Whitby off the yellows.

Back 9 was 6 over gross with a treble bogey on one hole... I also four putted for bogey on a drivable par 4 on the 17th. 75% FIR, 11% GIR due to rolling off any green I hit and ending up on the fringe...

This morning's round was with the Uniroyal Arnold Palmer 1, 3 & 4 laminated woods, Dunlop Tony Jacklin irons 3 to SW and a Pryme XYNX putter.
(Apologies blade fans, the Pryme is very much an Anser style putter, but it's a short lived UK brand so I felt justified in giving it an airing. It putted nicely too.)

Played okay apart from two balls pushed OB on the third, scored 34 points. I used a Srixon Ultisoft ball from the fourth onwards and was pleasantly surprised by how good it felt, 40 compression. I might check prices for a future purchase.

Players a reciprocal this afternoon at Ross on Wye. Always a pleasant place to play, wow it was hot. Played ok too

Out on my own after work to get back on the horse after Sunday's defeat....

Decided to play off the whites for a change and noticed they were still at their longest extremes after the championship finals at the weekend. Championship pin positions still there as well.

Very interesting how different some of the holes are! First is normally hybrid off the tee then wedge onto the green for me.... was driver then hybrid tonight! Makes you question the wisdom of your decision to play from there! However, there was only one hole I struggled to reach in regulation, was just short with driver, 3 wood although I do reckon it'd be possible to get on with 2 good shots.

Good fun, seemed to fix the putting and exorcised some of the ghosts from the weekend.

Well played. Even the top players have bad weeks so it is to be expected we'll be the same and even good golfers like you aren't machines and can't do it all the time. Annoying when it happens but as you proved tonight on a tougher set up you still have the game. Forget the bad one and focus on making the next one brilliant

Had a wander across to St Andrews Links Academy range after work tonight - think I've managed to fix the mess my irons have been the last couple of weeks.

As I wandered back to the car I noticed that although the Balgove course had people on every hole there was nobody on the first tee so decided to head out for nine holes. What a delight this wee course is and it's in immaculate condition.

Just as much of a delight was the mix of people on the course - When I teed off there wasn't anyone who was wearing what would normally be described as 'golfing attire' - kids with their mum, kids with their dad, a late teens lad with his girlfriend (he played she just putted and had a go at chipping), an obviously tourist middle aged couple with the guy knocking around (Yes I played golf in St Andrews), just a complete variety of ordinary people some who could obviously play golf and a good few who couldn't. Half way round I noticed that a couple of older ladies were starting and they had the golfing gear on and the Powercaddies - if I'd seen anyone of the occupants of the course in the street after the round these were the only two who you could ID straight away as having just played golf.

As I came off and the heavy rain started I looked down the first where there were a dozen people near the green, both male and female - a bunch of what looked like student age youngsters (a lot of students have staying in St Andrews since the Unis shut down) with three of them playing and the rest watching - I watched for a bit and two of them were very decent and one a non golfer - I'd suggest that drink had been consumed before they headed to the links, but they weren't damaging anything or making a noise and with the rain by now belting down they had the whole nine holes to themselves.

As I headed home I stopped in the car park of the Old Course Hotel to take a pic of the 18th.

Played tonight, shot worst score yet, 57 (par 33) but eventually got my handicap of 30.
I know i can play much better than that so looking forward to getting it down. I reckon 25 is a realistic target before winter.

Nicely framed by 17th Green ?

Played this evening at Chilworth, just got 18 holes in before the light gave up. The course was incredibly dry and the greens had been worked on so were bumpy.

Didn’t feel like I played that well, but I scored 32 points playing off 12 (which is roughly where I think I should be). No blow up holes, but I did have 3 blobs. Starting to play a bit more regularly now so getting a bit more consistent.

Cheers I’m a fair bit better with a camera than I am with a wedge

This was so hot today, I was feeling dehydrated by the 14th, badly falling by 16, and couldn't even grip the club anymore by the 17th.

Well, another comp done and 105 shots, not making 100 again. This time I didn't have a single 3 of the tee, but I had 44 puts (22 each 9) and an additional 2 chips with the putter from just off green. That's just too many to score good points. Especially since I often chip on from 40ish yards anyway rather than coming in from 160 yards. Take 10 off that and we are looking at a proper golf score, I think.

strange weather today, thick Haar on the course, something we don't get very often on the Moray Firth.

cleared up by half way and got very warm an muggy, hit it pretty well again though i did double cross myself on a couple of holes where i tried to hit a fade with the driver
