That's amazing consistency. I'm sure not many people can claim to have done that!

Yeah.
It was boring as hell though.
Think I threatened maybe 2 pars and holed two good putts for bogey.

Bizarre today. Played in a Seniors match against another club ... eight fourballs. Had the worst first nine I can remember ... I was appalling ... we turned round all square and my partner had got every win/half we made. On the second nine, I won 10, 11, halved 12, won 14 and halved 16 and we won 3 & 2. My best second nine for ages. Talk about a game of two halves!

Funny sort of round today. Double bogeyd 9th then six bogeys in a row, still managed 37pts and 6th place out of 56 in Thursday roll-up as I managed to hole a load of stonking putts.

Out on Monifieth Medal tonight on my own behind a three ball which suited me as I was being very deliberate to make sure I got my new grip correct and avoid thrashing at the ball with my irons.
When I got it right it was very good and I pretty much got away with the mishits, very much still at a frustrating point. Hit very few drivers or fairway woods and hit 6 iron off a lot of tees including the 15th which is normally driver seven iron for me - hit another 6 iron from the fairway and was 25 yards off the front of the green - then chipped in for birdie, it was one of those ones where from the moment it landed till it went into the hole it was never going anywhere else.
Lovely evening but a stiff breeze blowing from the East which made the first six holes play long but helped a lot on the last few holes.
Hardly anyone out there again - though there were some guests going out with a member a bit behind me - first time I've seen strangers on the course in a good while.
7th hole
Approach to 8th green - that white object in the lower middle of the frame is an egg shell, not idea what kind of bird had its nest robbed by crows though.
Uphill approach to par 5 ninth hole
15th green - my chip in was from outside of the left side of this frame

Played 9 tonight. The course was surprisingly busy.
Only took half a set. And typically I needed the other half for quite a few approaches ??
Struck the ball quite well, just not scoring well at the minute which the 45 was evidence of and very frustrating. My swing path is improving, which is helping the strike, but consistency of direction is still not quite there.
Highlight of the round was hitting a nice high draw with a driver to the middle fairway when a group let me through.
Loved the new Ping 5 wood. It has real potential.
There is a decent score in there somewhere.

Had a great start this evening.
Birdies the first
and played very well through eight holes.
My game then started gradually falling apart and I had an awful finish.
4 chipped on 14 from 60 yards, 4 putted 15 from 30 feet and didn't finish 16 or 18!
The Guinness after tasted bloody good though.

went for a game at Tain yesterday afternoon, great change to have the wind behind on almost every hole except 13th and 17th as it switched round a few times, never had that befor only the other way round.
course is coming along and looking good with even more gorse and broom gone since i last played a month or so ago.
looking forward to the open there next week.

I am really looking forward to the day when all aspects of my game are working well on the same day.
Last week it was bad driving yesterday it was bad chipping and pitching.
Still trying new to me irons and came up short on a couple of times due to poor strikes and failed to recover with the pitches which is normally a strong part of my game.

Stuck at 30-32 points a round at the moment.
No 1 thing is consistently good or bad, just 1 stupid shot every couple of holes...
My driver, on the first 16 holes, can be described as catastrophic - holes 17 and 18 it's magnificent
No idea why.........
A couple of comps next week...that'll see me getting another shot..

Played a 18 holes 4bbb home comp today, my first complete round since last September. With the help of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, I played really really well and we scored a net 63 from the back tees.
We probably wont make the last 32 but we're both delighted

Nine holes on Monifieth Medal with just the 3 wood some irons and the putter tonight. Determined to get some consistency with the irons since I tidied up my grip and backswing. Much, much better than before - have to be much more methodical with my set up and rehearse the backswing but it's working - deliberately went out after a three ball with a gap behind me and it forced me to take my time, often hit a second ball and most of them were very good (for me). Early holes into strong wind and in fact the only two where I got any help from the wind were the 7th and 9th.
Had considered playing the back nine but didn't want to lose what I'd found by getting tired (I've played a lot of golf this week) so walked back across the Ashludie and found the the 13th (downwind) was empty, dropped a ball and hammered a six iron to pin high from a ridiculous distance (for me) to walk off with a smile.
Now I need to sort out the driver which has gone very weak - good excuse to visit the range at the Home of Golf tomorrow morning.
Didn't take any pics of the Medal while I was playing but here's the plateau green 18th on the Ashludie course as I exited the links - It's long and very narrow and I reckon it's elevated about 10-12 feet above the fairway.
