Think we need to see a photo. I could probably begrudgingly put up with the weirdness of the trolley but as soon as it made a noise then that would be it. Crosses a line for me for annoyance and eccentricity

Struck the ball well. Didn't lose a ball. Scored awfully, hc has gone up 1.4. It was bloody windy and it ruined me. As a result I felt tight and prodded at it.
Should win the Greensomes tomorrow with our joint HC now tho.

Slipped a bit to 35 points yesterday. Didn't chip as well as earlier in the week but generally happy as the wind being a bit strong.

Went to play in our 'Christmas Competition' - normally a few extra prizes on offer. Shouldn't have bothered, the course is an absolute heap of 
at the moment. It was chucking down all morning, and handily stopped just before we teed off, but the course was still soaked of course. First hole, hit a lovely duff 40 yards right onto the fringe of the 18th green. Pitched to the back of the green and up and down for bogey though. Duffed my woods all the way up the 2nd to blob that. Parred the 4th to steady the ship and went on a little run of bogeys, but it was just a hard slog all day. Even with pick and place anywhere on the course which we have now, it was still tough to find a decent lie sometimes. So wet your ball would slide straight under the ball, or just hit the mud and stop. Tortuous really. In the end I managed 27 points, and I genuinely felt that I played quite well. I putted really well, and drove well too - the only two shots where mud wasn't involved basically. I should really have got to 30 points but I doubled the 15th (when I should really have got up and down for par), and blobbed 16 and 18 either side of a good par at the 17th.
I won my group as the other two got 21 and 20, and one of the other groups must have walked off as they disappeared from in front us, so you never know, I might have scraped 3rd place or something. But I think some might be playing tomorrow. I'd be bloody impressed if anyone managed 32 or more points in the conditions to be honest.

Another lovely day, apart from the odd shower, on the heath. 37 points including a birdie on stroke 1 which was playing into a gale at the time.Nice 3 and 1 win partnering my old mate Jeremy.
31 points in a mudbath. Got lucky with the weather. Heavens had opened before I left the house and was hosing down when I got to the club. By the time I checked in to the competition in the pro shop it had stopped and aside from several showers got lucky with the weather. Course was borderline and back nine was close to being unplayable and I reckon it would have been shut had golf gone ahead tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will play ball in the period we are potentially locked down and it can dry. 31 points good enough for 21st place but no notification of any handicap change

I played today at the par 3 with the boy. The course was pretty much a swamp. And it was sunny, then torrential rain, then windy, then sunny.
The boy didn't count his score today but enjoyed it and was pleased at being resilient because we stayed out and finished the round.
I managed a decent score with one wedge and a putter.

had a great match with Slow Dave, yesterday every hole was won with a birdie, even a few halves in birdie too.
was one up on the last, stuck it on in two to 10 feet, he then sank a 30 footer for eagle and i missed mine to square the match, he laughed all the way to the car

Pairs Winter League yesterday. 42pts, which is not bad, but we had seven temporary greens, which considerably shortened those holes. Pleased with how I’ve played in the conditions, particularly the driving.

18 points (+4) with a birdie on a hole I find tricky..
Can't be unhappy with that...and dismantling Fragger in the process. - although he did finish well.

Played on my own. 2 balls, partner didn't show. He should have cancelled, and then I might have got a partner (could have got on the phone at least) 3 1/2 hours, flipping slow. 2nd game in 8 weeks. Course is a swamp. Hit a few 230 yard drives, zero run, claggy, mucky, not seen the course in such rubbish conditions. Lost two balls hitting in to a low sun.
Winter golf, meh.
2 balls, meh.
It's golf, kind of, but not my idea of golf.

Round in 79, couple of doubles on the card but pretty solid. A bit like throwing darts on some of the greens but you play what you find. Driving was good, short game sharp.

Played, dry, breezy. Shot 12 over, one lost ball named Ryan Taylor, left on the course for his owner to find him again
Feel so much better for it.

Well not today but Saturday. It was my first game in three weeks. Rain held off till the moment we got on the tee. And then it just started to get worse. We had recurring 15-20 minutes of heavy rain with a 5 minute break inbetween. In addition it was blowing a gale so even more challenging. Thank goodness for waterproofs and rain-grip gloves. In the end we gave up after 7 and walked in. On the positive side.
- I par'd the first 6 holes despite the conditions. Sadly bogeyed the 7th.
- I was punching my 6 iron into the wind well. On the 5th I put it to within a foot of the hole.
- My new footjoy waterproof jacket held up really well.
- My metal spikes held up well in the conditions

not a bad day, no wind at all, but even though we tee'd off at 9.30 it was still pretty dark and didn't really brighten up till the 7th.
hit it OK 3 birdies, 1 bogey, rest pars, had what must have been my first real flyer with the new irons on 16. hit an Ok drive had 140 to the flag, and was in more or less the same place as Saturday, so hit the same club 9 iron, on sat it was stone dead and almost went in the hole for a 2, today flew the green by some distance and hit the shelter behind the green on the full and bounced off the roof.. luckily it bounced back towards the green
