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

Played yesterday morning, nice and early with a 7:30 tee time off of the yellows at Leighton Buzzard.

4 pars and 5 bogeys on the front nine for 20 points.

1 birdie, 4 pars, 3 bogeys and a double on the back (4 over par) for 22 points to rack up a grand total of 42 points. Just missed a putt on the last for a 79 too.

Handed the card in as a supplementary resulting in a 0.6 cut putting me at 14.3.

Super happy to finally put a really good round together after threatening it for a month or so.

Played the front nine at Alenda on Saturday. It was alarmingly quiet - we saw one other person on the course!!

Anyway, the lack of income is showing in the facilities and course maintenance, pitch marks being left unrepaired on greens, and grass not cut as you'd expect in the rough - but this was a European Tour qualifying venue in 2018, so has some status intact as good course.

Both played off the yellow tees, Jamie giving himself a genuine birdie chance on the 9th - 450 yard uphill par 5 when he reached the green in regulation - commendable given his age.

Sherwood Forest in a Seniors Open and course in top nick, made buffer with 34 points

Halifax West End for annual Masonic Yorkshire comp. struck the ball well and pitted well for 21 points after 10 holes. Then the rain came and I blobbed the next 3! Ended up with a total of 30 points. Think my problem is when it gets cold and wet my back stiffens up and I don’t complete my swing. When I consciously made myself complete my follow-through, I hit good shots

I have had a busy few days and quite successful too. On Friday I played my Titleist matchplay against a guy off 5, fortunately for me his putting was off and I had a nice 5&4 win, then on Saturday it was our lady captains day and despite being 2 over handicap my score was good enough to win. Played in a mixed 4BBB at Withington on Sunday and then yesterday played in a ladies team open at Ilkley, a new course to me, it is on the banks of the River Wharfe as opposed to being on top of the moor and is a very nice course although it would have benefited by having lift, clean and place in force as the balls were picking up lots of mud.

Monthly medal today.

Still battling the hooks. Still managing my way around as best I could. Visited the wrong fairway on many occasions. Completely low duck hooked 2 drives.

Had to hit two provisional balls off the 4th tee but found my first.

Shot 3 over and first cut of the year on the way.

It's still a funny old game.

Enough to win the 0-10 category. Entry into the medal final in two weeks time.

Css went down 2 so only got a 0.2 cut which is a right kick in the stones.

Css down 2?

 

[garyinderry]

Css down 2?

Competition scratch score. Par 71. Went to 69

Css down 2?

Just what I thought, unless SSS is 1 under.

Mid-Week Medal today, started well for a change and got my tee shot away on the par 4 first, second on the green and would have parred but my ball hit the not centered flag and stayed out, but bogey is a big improvement on recent rubbish. Was two under handicap after 6 but then took a 9 on the par 5 seventh.

Another quad bogey on the 11th when I drove OB and several shortish putts not going in meant I ended up with the usual crap score, today a 93 gross which puts me up to 14.5 handicap, I dread to think what my WHS handicap will be.

The weather was good though.

I assume you are meaning SSS is 70 if that is the case?

Apart from a 7 on the par 3 eighth hole, no worse than a double bogey. Happy days!

Dropped to handicap 28 now which was the initial aim starting again along with breaking 100 - both achieved.

Hopefully I can continue the trajectory and get to early 20s by Spring/Summer.

Booked as a single behind a four ball after work - they cancelled last minute so I had nobody in front or behind me all the way round - 30mph winds straight down most of the holes. Hit the ball well probably the best I've ever struck the ball into a gale - lots of fun. On the down side short game from under 50 yards needs a couple of years of hard work.

Here's some blonde rough

Played at Berkhamsted yesterday. A nice bunkerless Heathland-lite course

The back 9 was especially a beautiful run of holes

 

[Rlburnside]

Not played today but results just in from Sunday ( at last) .6 cut down to 16.3 lowest I’ve been.

 

[patricks148]

played with the boys after a couple of days rest from the Club champs where i played total crap and was in 20 bunkers in the first round.

still blowing today, 30 ish but at least the green staff hadn't double cut and ironed today. hit it well off the tee, esp into the wind.. hitting silly clubs into holes downwind (well for me anyway) 10th was a drive and wedge, though it did get a very firm bounce. one of my PP had a read bad case of the rights, early extension i think, he went straight to the range after

 

[Imurg]

Good front 9 of +3 for 19 points...
Lost my way a little on the back 9 and only managed 32 in total...
The wind did kick up a bit but it would be wrong to blame it for my seeming lack of ability..
Driver is beginning to behave itself again...

Yep this year just the 'Ludie, been out on the medal a couple of times but this is my first time playing golf regularly in five years so just out for fun, playing better than I could have expected and loving sub three hour rounds - hopefully I'll have time to keep playing once I get back to doing regular sports photography - which is imminent.
