I love 2021

Played off the whites (front 9) and managed 18 points not swinging as well as I've done in the last few days. Needed driver off the first and managed to get it to the green side bunker on a hole measuring 220 yards. Sand save for par pleasing at the next. Dropped one when my 4 foot putt hit the flag and stayed up (didn't think I'd hit it too hard). Made an obscene bogey (net par) at the 5th. Hooked it sharply off the tee but it rattled around and dropped in bounds and playable. Even the big hook with the provisional rattled the trees in bounds. Guaranteed that won't happen come the first competition. Got to the side of the green in four and great chip stone dead.

Played with a guy who has joined from Bearwood Lakes (no I don't know why) but who has a lot of friends there and I sneakily suggested come the summer and we can mingle again we take a couple of them on there for a game! Front nine in reasonable winter condition and is drying out well now. Greens were in great nick. So far so good but the spectre of work looms large tomorrow

First game in 2021, 18 holes open, and in 2 balls. Played my 12 h/c winter league partner and won 4&3 with no shots given. Love the new Evnrol ER6 putter, getting to the cup much more consistently and no 3 putts (or 5 putts). As all competition play has been knocked on the head for now the decision to allow winter rules everywhere is a good move imo

Virtual round with 3 eagles and a few birdies to record a gross 58 ... going to be a disappointment when I am nowhere near 75 on the real course !! But strike and distances plus distances control is improving.

Fist game of 2021 and if this is a sign of things to come I am looking forward to the year. Course is split into 2 nines to allow as many out as posssble and I played a 1 under handicap on the back nine which is usually the harder nine for me. Even better was only havng 1 drive miss the fairway. The couse was in ok condition considering its been closed for the last 2 weeks due to flooding.

Only 12 holes open atm so playing 1-9 then repeating 4-9 (if there is a gap) before playing 16-18 to make a par 73 18-holer course.

Ended up 13 over today, my lowest ever round. Feared the worst after starting double, double, par, triple but then managed to hit a great run of form after that. Hit the turn 10 over before only dropping 3 shots on the "back" 9.

Yes its a shortened course with winter tee's and yes there were 5 temp greens in total but I'm pretty optimistic about the year ahead! Can't wait to get my cards in when the course is fully open again.

Course gone back to full 18 holes on greens with just the one temp and one hole a bit shorter - hitting the ball nicely , putts not dropped but a solid 2 under par round

18 points (+4) on the front today.
Beaten by some bloke who seems to get 2 shots on more holes than I get 1 on......
Still, can only play as well as I can and "to handicap" works for me.

18 holes on the East Course at East Sussex - lovely walk with a good friend, the less said about the golf the better - suffice to say I won with 25 points. As expected very wet, will probably wait until spring to play again

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned that before. Like you say can only play your own ball and affect your own score.

Played 18 with my friend Louise today. We have set ourselves a target of 250 birdies between us for 2021. Off to a great start, she birdied the 18th for our only one of the round ?

Played Kings today, round in just over 3 hours for a 4 ball, played superb tee to green, don’t know where it came from to be honest, not hitting my drives that long but hybrids were solid, 8 shots better than handicap although winter greens, great first round of 2021 ?

Yeah pretty much ?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

19 points today with a blob
Played with a bloke who constantly whines about how many shots he’s giving me.

Like it’s my fault that WHS gave me 4 extra strokes

It’ll come down when comps/ supps start ? but it won’t stop the whingeing ??

 

[Paperboy]

Yeah pretty much ?

I'll be lucky to get more then 20 so loads better then me

And she calls herself a plus 6 handicapper. Looking forward to getting 15 shots.

You could have been a Cat 1 golfer.
