100 ball range session. Went well, got the weight shift working, started to drill the ball at the 150 board then went to a 5 iron and worked on getting that to fly high and straight. Went back to the 7 iron and was dropping that beyond the 150, no flight shape but straight. Then moved to the driver, worked on getting that out in front of me and consistent. Then back to the 3 hybrid, hit that straight, which was a world of difference from the fade to cut I was getting before. I kind of wanted to be able to turn the fade on, as hole 17 at my club is a dog leg left to right, so hitting to the left and fading to the right really is a benefit. I was struggling a bit but I needed to get a bit open, and open the face to get it to move. I figured 40 ft of movement would still be safe, it might make the second a little tight but it would still only be 8 iron max as a 2nd shot. So bit more work on that. Finished with a couple 60 degree shots out to 80 yards to get a feel for targeting and strike. Went away sweaty and happy ??
Just that I’m finding them easier to hit and the gap between them isn’t relevant as I’m not hitting them as good ?

My previous course was great as the driving range was pretty close and they did "warm up balls" for a quid. I've been missing it, today I realised I had a pack of those airflow balls in my cupboard and so hit a few of those before heading to the 1st tee.
Out of interest was your competition a stableford comp, and did you no-score on any holes?

that would be good.
I’m actually not sure if it’s stableford, I think it is - I only worked out the points when I entered my score on how did I do. I made sure to putt out every hole with my highest unfortunately being a 10. Current massive handicap of 37!

Sounds like good relaxed golf , expectations cause you to force it and then it turns into a cluster @@@&

It's worth checking before you play. FYI the etiquette around stableford is that you pick up when you can no longer score. You may annoy some people if you don't.

The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
Me, my mate and his son played millionaires golf this afternoon.
Played the course when it was set up about as hard as it could as this morning was the 2nd round of a big club major.
Poor start with a double but birdied the next but then had another double.....
Turned with 18 points and proceeded to double the 10th
A run of pars and a couple of birdies and im home in 36 points - bang on handicap on a tough set up.
A couple of shandy on the balcony finished off a very civilised afternoon.

Summer Cup this morning, and boy was it humid. Had one of those "battling" rounds, few birdie chances and plenty of scrambling. Finished gross 81, (was my first comp back up to 10 'cap).
Pleased as it's my lowest round since joining the course post lockdown, and also no double bogeys on the card ?.

Roll up today. Great company but played bang average for 29 points. One point in the last three holes is never going to get it done

Went out for a hit tonight with a half set (well of irons - had the driver, mini driver and five wood in the bag too) - didn't have an eight or nine iron (which I realised first time I wanted one of them) so there was a decent gap I had to manufacture shots around, fun.
I don't really keep an overall score when I'm out like this but I was only playing one ball so I kept a note of what I shot on individual holes - it was reasonably good and I was chuffed to get a birdie at the 14th - largely because it's one of the holes I hadn't birdied this year.
That's ten of the 18 holes I've birdied at least once since the restart of golf - that and my very occasional rounds under 80 are the only stats of mine I pay any attention too.
Been a good weekend golfing wise.

Played The Vale in Worcestershire today. Fantastic course, very reasonably priced and very quiet this afternoon. My score was terrible but I’m not worried about that as I actually managed to strike my irons reasonably well today - something I’ve been incapable of since coming out of lockdown. Driver was fairly consistent and putting was good. Despite the poor score it felt like things are moving in the right direction and I really enjoyed my round.

Clandon Regis yesterday with a couple of mates, my golf was terrible, the only highlight was holing a 60ft putt on 17.

First comp in 18 months, better ball stableford. We had a team.score of 39 and I had a individual score of 33, which I felt was good, all things considered.
Felt good putting a card in again.

Went up to play Wick with Go Go, he played really well and shot 3 under on what was a tricky course neither of us had played before. i hit it ok off the tee but terrible with irons,
great little course, back 9 pretty good with some great holes on it the front is a bit flat apart from around the greens.
very enjoyable despite the rubbish golf i played

After the greensomes on Saturday andcthe foursomes on Sunday, it was nice to play my own golf ball today in a friendly 4bbb.
Had 40 points, (gross 79, net 68 for anyone who doesn't like stableford, ie:me).
5 points came on one hole. Eagled the par 4 17th.

Should be able to see the wifes head :lol:
The massive bunkers and brilliant steps into
Great to play, the bunkers are stupendous, so deep and unlike any other course, just brilliant.
Was playing well 5 over upto 15th tee, then went double bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey to finish on 10 over! doh
However it all came together yesterday played 14 holes in 1 under gross, before heavy rain stopped play.
