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

The short swing is getting things done again today. 39pts playing off 9 now. Once I relax and stop trying to kill the ball I'm making a lot less mistakes. Went back to a 20? year old Odyssey Rossie that for some reason I'm feeling better with so my putting is a bit better. I like the heat.......

Played in the senior rollup, off 27. picked up 27 points on the front 9 (a senior rollup record apparently) to win the nine by 5 points, back nine a more sedate 16. It was also round 3 of the senior stableford cup. So I'll probably be cut twice, 3 shots in the rollup (for 4 rollups) and potentially up to another 3 to my official handicap.

Went for a doddle round myself tonight and got to about 51 on the first 9 which I was very happy with.

Ended up joining the two ball behind me and didn't really count my last 9, a lot less duffs and anything that was hit thin atleast still travelled a decent distance.

Really need to work on my short game/chipping...not getting any spin or stop on the ball so need to make sure and give it plenty of time to roll towards the pin

Out at 7.20 tonight and managed to get in 15 holes before we ran out of light at 9.20 - much better irons than recently and drove the ball well - nice birdie at 12 - fun hit on a glorious evening on the Tay estuary

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Squeezed in 17 after the thunder last night. Birdied the first for the first time and it was a bit of a grind after that. Incredibly warm/muggy/humid sweated like there was no tomorrow but was 33 points from 17 holes. It had just turned too dark to play the 18th, the 50 yard pitch and putt for par on 17 in the dark was the highlight of the evening. stunning scenery as always.

Went out last night intending to play 18 but it was so hot and sticky that we decided to walk in after 9 and have a cold pint on the balcony instead.......very pleasant.

Finally broke 100 for the first time at my new course last night. It was definitely a round of two halves, the front 9 played mainly in glorious sunshine and rock hard fairways.
Then the rain came, and the back 9 (after a prolonged rain break under shelter!) saw a lot of puddles and a totally different challenge.
Walked off with a gross 99, 48 out and 51 back in and 33 points.
Could have been better but I'll take that considering the conditions. Now to try and consistently shoot under 100...

Had 24 points after 12 holes today and heading for potentially my best round since lockdown, when thunder, lightning and torrential rain sent everybody scurrying back to the clubhouse. C’est la vie.

Enjoyable round with my son today in our 3 club competition we were level on points on 18th I managed a birdie to finish on 32 points and he got a bogey and finished on 30 points.

Not a lot of difference in length with 3 wood as opposed to driver, had 30 points with a full set on Wednesday ??‍

 

[PJ87]

Played mid week 18 hole stableford comp this afternoon

36 points

Only my second comp at the club

Very happy

My third 20+ handicap opponent in the knockout today, and this time just a step too far. Lost on the 18th. Was 3 down after 9 (he matched me for pars), hauled myself back to square after 15 - some high handicapper play showing up. Thought I had 16 won before giving shots on last two holes - but oppo snaked in a long putt for half. Then did the same on 17th to move 1 up.
Oh well, I wasn't fancying my chances after a poor nights sleep - combination of super humid weather & some vet news.

 

[Italian outcast]

9-hole comp here this evening - was drenched in sweat before we even started

Hit the ball really well (except for 1 in the water) but putting was dire = started 3 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt, with another at the last

still made 19 points; saved by a 9-iron to 2 feet for a 2 later in the round

Very pleasant knock around the Jubillee Course at St Andrews with @Jimaroid.

Course is very good and there are some brilliant holes on there.

Had the day off today. Went to my uncle's club, Aylesbury Vale, to play with him, my auntie and my dad. I enjoy my rounds with my dad and my uncle, but we haven't done one for a couple of years as my dad gave up for a while, so it was nice to be back - and my auntie going along was extra as she never used to come with us before. She's really not great and sort of pottered along hitting it 100-odd yards at a time, but she enjoyed it and that's the main thing.

I did play AV once before but it was probably almost 3 years ago and I didn't remember a single thing about the course, it felt like playing it for the first time. On the front nine I played really well, only 4 over par with 40 out (22 points). Back nine didn't quite live up to it, on the par 5 12th I stone cold topped my drive into the nearby lake which is a rarity these days, but parred it with the second ball to make a 7. Got back to playing well with a few pars, and had 39 points after 17 holes - unfortunately I made an absolute mess of the par 5 18th and blobbed it with an 8. Don't you just hate blobbing the last? Puts a right dampener on a good round. Finished with 85 gross though, which I have to be happy with, only 13 over with three of them coming on that last hole. Eight pars, eight bogeys.

My short game was excellent all day, about as good as it's ever been - chipping and lag putts all left me in short holeable range, ended up with only 30 putts, and no three-putts. My dad played well too which I was equally pleased about, we've just been counting him off 36 and he managed 32 points off that today which is more than last time. I think he's improving a little. Highlight was on the back nine when he meant to grab his trusty 7 wood but accidentally picked up the 5 wood, which he hadn't hit all day - realised his mistake when addressing the ball but thought 'sod it I'm here now' - then promptly smashed his best shot of the day 200 yards down the fairway!

We got really lucky with the weather as well in the end. It had clearly hammered down in the morning, but we teed off around 1:20pm and it was overcast but warm with a light breeze, and we didn't have a drop of rain all the way round. Stayed for a pint, then packed up, drove off and the minute we were out of the car park there was a downpour! Top timing. Great day all round.

 

[Slime]

Played seven holes of absolute stool.
The claxon then went off and the heavens opened ............................ fully.
By the time we'd managed the 500 yards to the clubhouse there were rivers running through the course.
It was absolutely biblical. Never seen anything like it in my life.

Favourite other course on that stretch of land

Played at East Sussex National tonight - millionaires golf on an empty course, no rain or thunder/lightning sand just snuck round before the light faded.The course was as good as always even if the fairways were pretty scrappy in places. Played abysmally for the most part, but catching up with some friends not seen in months for a few hours was the reason for the game so my ineptitude didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. If i could hit a fairway i'd be dangerous, but it was a red arrows show off the tee.

 

[davidy233]

Out for nine holes on my own tonight - teed off at 8pm - turned out to be nobody in front of me so ended up playing an extra couple of holes.

Nothing great but nothing bad either - plus points are that irons are staying solid and I’ve got my five wood back in the bag and hitting it well.

Very pleasant walk - bit of wind blowing from the East which is wrong way round for this time of year but not blowing a gale - nice evening.

Pleasure and lovely to meet the family. How's the Strath been this morning then, any sleep had at all?

Strath was a nice course to play after a bad nights sleep and feeling very stiff and tired. Fin loved it and even made a few pars.
