Another day....another Fragger dismantling..
This is not a sleight on Fragger but, like today, when the game is won I'm finding it hard to keep the concentration going.
All square after 10, I went on my fairly usual par run for 4 holes while Fragger struggled...all of a sudden I'm 7 points up and, barring a major brain fart, the job is done.
Keeping going is getting harder but still managed 18 points back for 34 in total.
Steady...

Had a blinder today at williamwood gc, nice course first time playing it and really enjoyed my round went round in 79 net 61 40/39 my lowest score ever,qz pulled my drives a few times but wasn't getting me in trouble

Are the rumours I heard a couple of years ago about Williamwood being a club at risk with some land perfect for redevelopment. I had a good few school mates who were members and some who might still be members - though only played it the once (and enjoyed my knock) as I was a member at East Ren and best mate was member of Eastwood (sadly now closed) and had a pal also a member of Cathcart Castle - with Whitecraigs on my home doorstep. So many courses in a small area.

I'm not sure first time iv played it I didnt even know about it untill last week, place looks huge tho i think they could cut some land easily, I'm going to keep trying some more courses out it's doing wonders for my game management,

Out for a hit tonight - teed off at 6.10pm and knew that I probably wouldn't get whole way round as there were a good few four balls in front of me - as it was most of them only played nine and I'm sure I'd have got through the two groups in front of me if I'd wanted and been able to get full 18 in - as it was I played to thirteenth green then played eight again to get the shortest walk home. Nice evening - I was expecting it to be chilly but it was actually pretty warm.

Played a good few of the holes with two balls - driver of the tee with one ball and an iron off the tee with the other - I find that the more irons I hit early on the better I play later in the round.

Edit to add pic of third green after I pulled my tee shot

I'm quite sure you'll get an invite to play East Ren GC, [SILH's old gaff ] lovely course, not as tough as Machrihanish but a bit tougher than your last 4. Or maybe Dullatur gc Cumbernauld or Cawder GC Bishopbriggs [ excellent]
Try Bonnyton gc Eaglesham, Nerston gc East Kilbride, Bothwell gc, Hamilton [ Rickarton ] gc , Collvilles Park gc Motherwell, Drumpellier gc Coatbridge, or my favourite Strathaven gc.
And you're always welcome back to Bellshill

Just played 10 holes this evening.
It's just getting ridiculous now, 10 holes ............................. 10 points including 2 three pointers!!
Lost balls off the tee, thinned irons, a rare shank, putting off a green, a four putt and my chipping has sunk to previously uncharted depths.
I wasn't aware that all of the above could be crammed into just ten holes of golf!
I'm due to play on Thursday but don't know whether I can actually be bothered.

Just go and play, you never know which 1 of your multiple personalities will turn up on the day, hopefully it'll be Slime 1

Played stableford 9 hole comp tonight, been working a lot on my short game and it paid off. Hit driver every chance i got and kept it under control. Played exactly to handicap for the first time in a while.

18 tonight, last 5 were just tired stuff. Played off the black tees. The par 4s are stretched now back to 450+ yards. They go up hill not significantly, but none of this hit it and get a bounder down. Competition in 2 weeks time is off these tees. The SSS has remained the same as the whites, so not sure what difference any of this makes, apart from making it a bit of a slog.
Think I will spend a bit of time on my short game, I might not be on the greens too often.

Sunday, played with a couple of friends. Shot 96 gross (74 net, 3 over) with two 8s on the back nine. First time I’ve broken 100 round Scarcroft, and if it wasn’t for the now binned 3-wood and hybrids I reckon I’d have been round under handicap

I can vouch for the outrageous back to back birdies that Kris shot on 13 and 14... tough to keep up with that!!

Played last night at my place with paperboy and sainthacker, very enjoyable game followed by a beer. Paperboy saw a lot of the right hand side of the course, normal for him (sorry Simon ), I saw a lot of the RHS of the course (most unusual ) and Paul kept it mainly under the wind

Let me know when you fancy another knock chaps

 

[Crazyface]

Steady knock today. 32 points (thought it was more) wifes game vanished for three holes 12 /15/ 10 then came back, 29 points. Just finished and it threw it down. Still raining now.

played the norther counties seniors scratch this morning, is usually a scratch foursomes but due to CV19 it was changed to 4BBB.

very windy and showers, played well, 2 under gross going out an 1 over coming back, have to say i can't hit it any better than that, TBH scould have been better had at least 4 puts inside 8 feet for birdie on the back 9, we won 5 up, which we were quite pleased about, only to find the other pair in out team lost 5 down, so we had to play extra holes. very very slow mainly down to one of the oppo team who took an age to get to his ball, pick a club and hit the shot, his PP were on the green before he's even put his club away, they had lost 3 holes on the group in front of them.
so had to go to extra holes , the other pair went 1 down in the 19th, but we won ours so AS, pair in front again lost and we halved so we were out...cant say i was disappointed, wouldn't have had time to eat or get a rest before going straight out again..

can't happen too often a pair that didn't lose a hole not progressing

Another steady 34 pointer today....
A bit ragged on the front 9 today, a few pars but a couple of blobs.
Turned with 16 and a 3 point lead
18 back but not the usual run of pars but a birdie at the last kept it respectable

Dare I ask about the 10th? You cracked it yet?

Monthly medal today in the wind and rain.

So deep down in the hooks now it's crazy. Somehow managed my way through the first 12 holes 2 over. Wheels started to come off on the back 9. Just could not continue to do what I was doing and get away with it.

Finished 7 over. Serious scar tissue after that. I can feel a hook when I get to the top of my backswing. Tried in vain to find some other position. Any other position. Wasnt happening.

Some range work required.

Some and some.....
Bogey today, par yesterday, birdie last week......
