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

Played in a Seniors 4BBB event today, me and my partner did okay with 44 points, I have no idea how the rest of the field fared so not a clue if we'll be in the places.
 
Played today in a vets league match, won our game 3 and 2 and the match finished 3-3. Very happy about my game and finally was hitting the driver well - onwards and upwards I hope ??

Due to play in a seniors doubles handicap matchplay, but our opponents cried off last night and we got a walkover. My partner and I kept the tee time and played a social round ... I got 43 points. I knew that my new WHS handicap was too high. Wish I had pre-registered for a supplementary ... could have brought it down a bit.
 
33 points today round a windy Seaford head. Nasty front 9, but much better back. Culminating with playing the last 5 holes 2 over par.

Most importantly, the first round in I have absolutely no idea how long when we got to sit outside the clubhouse and have a pint after. My god I've missed that. It just felt proper!
 
Played Silloth on Solway today.

What. A. Course.

And what a day for it as well, absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Played split sixes in our 3ball and it went down to the final hole which was great. I managed to play to my new handicap which I was absolutely over the moon with given the course and the fact I'd never played it before. I think it helped that I was 7 over through 4 and just decided to make the most of the course and the experience. I then managed to birdie the 5th and then didn't get worse than a bogey until the 17th after that.
Used the driver once all round but it didn't matter as the fairways were just running out for miles, I hit a 270 yard 3 hybrid which is unheard of for me.

After a delicious Jalfrezi from the clubhouse we decided to head back out and played 11 holes in a scramble format which was great as well, although we were shattered by the time we were coming up the 16th.

Now burnt to a crisp and in bed having enjoyed a few beers afterwards.

Brilliant day.
 
Played The Ridge near leeds castle yesterday as my friend is a member there, course layout not too bad, but the course condition was terrible especially the greens and tees. The greens were like putting on temps! Played well except off the tee for some reason! Plus found out that members guest rates are no different to visitor rates!

You couldn't have picked a better time to play it, settled weather and we have had no wind for the last two weeks.

Any breeze we have had is from the 'wrong' direction so next you visit it will be playing totally different.

Hope the green fee was value for money ??
 
Quick 9 before work...
Tried a 3 wood set to 14° - it was outdriving the driver into the wind...and downwind too..
3 birdies,1 bogey...2 under is my best score of that 9.
Food for thought...

I played a vets match at Hythe Imperial yesterday and the course was pretty immaculate, far better than my own course condition wise

I get so nervous on that course - cars/people and the beach are in hooking range! Must arrange a game at either yours or mine soon.

Yeah from everything I'd read on here from yourself and others I knew we'd got incredibly lucky with the wind and conditions in general.

Unbelievable value, especially given we had the freedom to go back out. A scramble was the perfect way for us to just loosen up a bit and play without any pressure.

Will be back as soon as possible! It got the point last night (a few ales in) where we started looking at holiday homes in the town and justifying it to ourselves "aye but it'll pay for itself if you let it out on Airbnb to golfers" ?.
 
Fab 18 holes at Silloth this morning. “Bit of a breeze” but nothing serious. Played steady for the first 15 holes then monumentally blew up ?

View from the 8th tee
 
39 points off the whites, extra 400yds to the usual yellow tee comps I play, in the Captain's Day comp. It's the most in control I've been for a very long time. The key was hitting my second shots, hybrid, well. It doesn't happen often enough but today it did. One bad hole only, I'll take that.

I know we need rain but it's lovely getting the extra run from a bone dry course ?

Took my dog for a walk there last weekend as our caravan is on a site just past there and thought the greens looked ok
 
First individual comp of the year. Started well with holing my chip onto the 1st green for a birdie. Middle of round was not great and finish was ok to end up with 33pts. Pleased with that based on my previous rounds this year.
 
I decided to do a General Play round today just to try out the EG app.

First time in 7 months that I played to my handicap and if it was not for tined and dressed greens could have been even better.

Takes my C.H. Down by a stroke. It also means if the last one of my twenty falls off next time and is not replaced with something the same or better the change is not going to be big as it was looking like.

One more good round and hopefully back to Div1
 
Played 18 general play comp - a bit meh - last 9 was better 4 good pars with two birdie lip-outs
Anyway point of order - i hit a bad tee shot at the 11th and one of my PPs then actually immediately tried to give me a lesson :confused:

Who gets the penalty - him or me - i didn't aadd anything and signed my card

I may not have minded but he plays off of 42 [forty two] :p

Obviously given the circumstances I now have to give up playing - just want to leave the game honestly ;)
 
Went for a knock at my old place today with the wife (xmas present I've got six rounds to play at various clubs and this was the first). Front nine I was playing very well shot a nice 41. Back nine? Utter utter utter garbage. Lost four balls. Sliced most iron shots. No idea what was going on.

Wife was also a bit off, but drove amazingly well. Two measured drives were 200 yards. Short game non existent. Met some mates from the place half way round so had a nice catch up.

Lovely day for it.
