I'm not surprised if you're only playing 17 holes.
Couldn’t beat my score so missed out playing last hole
all the holes open now? had to pop in a get a new wheel for my PowerCaddy of Mel the other week and there were only 6 holes open.
All open, but we are desperate for a prolonged period of dry weather to help the course.
don't worry we will have the usual April and May the the green staff will be complaining how dry it is

Very nice out there this morning and it's warm now - going to be a lovely day.
Very much a mixed bag, hit the ball decently, birdied the ninth for fourth time this year - but there were loads of mistakes/poor decisions, struggled to hit putts hard enough which was in my head rather than the greens (which were fine) - anyway that's my second card for handicap done.
Course was quiet, don't know if a group hadn't turned up but it felt like ten minute gaps between groups rather the actual six minutes.
Short of the 7th green on the Ashludie - I managed to bump and run this into the bunker - one of a few bad decisions today.
10th green, Ashludie Links

Nasty little position you found yourself in there! Glory shot or bunker was really the only play! Hope you enjoyed the golf, 14 days to go for us down south!

Just finished...12 degrees and sunny in Newport today.... frankly played like a bloke who hadnt touched a club in 3 months... birdie on 15th made me smile.
Lovely to be playing

lovely out there today, hit the ball well, but we got beat, one of the other guys had 5 gross birdies off 17 so giving away 12 shots, his handicap had gone up by 3 with WHS.
the doc and i both played OK and we two up at one point, I had 5 birdies as well, but the icing on the cake for them was a hole in one on the 4th that started there fightback. every hole was won with a birdie at least.
tried something new and stood i a little closer to the ball with driver, which worked and hit a couple of good ones into the wind

Beautiful day at Dunbar today, comfortable 3 & 2 win in my first 4 ball match back, course in great nick as always

Lost £1 yesterday and hoped to win it back today. 4 points in front with 2 holes to play, what could possibly go wrong? Well two snap hooks and only one further point compared to my mates two pars and 6 point total meant it was another loss. It's never over until you cross that line.

Went for a hit with the new driver - Mmm, needs some work, nothing really bad but not really any better than what I already have. Lovely night and as I was last out took my time and hit a few different shots, got eleven holes in before it got too dark - enjoyed it.

5th green with a bunker which has seen remarkably little action today

had a game at the Kings yesterday afternoon, fantastic day, bright sunshine, first game in shorts this year, course was full of guys in shirt sleeves and shorts.
might even have to think about cutting my grass if this keeps up

My grass is a long way off needing cut when I can find it amongst the moss...
Had it perfect during the summer but 6 months of rain and no sun has been great for the moss to get established again

its quite nice again this morning, though the forecaste was for showers.
I know what you mean by the moss though, i've done mine a few times now, Hollow tines Scarify, reseed , winter just undoes it all. slap bang in the middle is all moss around the edges on front and back ones quite a bit of grass still. Even stopped using the Cylinder mower as theres so much moss now

Don't cut the grass short, that encourages the moss.
Mow the long, but leave it fairly long.
You get nicer stripes and it also allows the long grass to block the sunlight from getting to the moss.

You're a bad man - I've just done a lawn inspection and it's probably getting cut on Saturday

Bit of deja vu today. Same as yesterday, four points in front with 2 holes to play but instead of losing I managed to win by 5 points.
got an invite for Tain yesterday, so decided to head there for a game yesterday as the weather was beautiful again.

not the quality of Davids work as its just my phone, but the course is shaping up well and the greens were very good, considering they havn't had green keepers for a whole year. even more Broom removed. it was nice to play off grass for the first time in almost 5 months
