Best round in about 18 months today. 89, nett 68, 37 points and included at least 3 silly missed putts. Best part was there were no topped drives - game is so much harder when a drive only goes 70 yards and you're facing another 300 for your second shot.

Went out on my own yesterday afternoon and got stuck behind 3 incredibly slow visitors who had no intention of letting me through. Had a 3 ball immediately behind me who were getting very frustrated by the pace of play, and were right up my backside from the 3rd hole.

Had to wait an age for every shot, and played badly. Managed to jump in front of the visitors after 5 holes by missing 6 and 7. Had the course to myself after that and played miles better.

There is obviously a big correlation between the pace of play and level of performance.

79 with a 9 last night!!!
The 12th is the only hole on this course I'm yet to par in 10 attempts!
Damn game.

Has your h/c increased since we had our HFH challenge? think we were both off 17 then, I scored 90 yesterday net 73 in first medal of season pleased enough with that as we have been playing off a much shorter course all winter, I’m still off 17.

Large society out today mainly members so later than our usual start time and two of our mates guys pulled out. The two of set off behind one the slowest known 4 balls we got the the second tee and decided to give up. Quick back to the pro shop and got booked in just in time to get out on the 9 hole course and join a single player. Nobody paying well but nobody playing particularly badly. Nice to be on greens that have yet to be hollow tined and sanded made me realise just how well I am actually putting.

The last post in here, I was struggling to break 100 laying terrible, anyway I had a lesson and what a difference, from 102 and 100, I went 90, 82 and today 80, my ball striking is so much better and putting practice is paying off too. slight downer on today was that I caught a branch of a tree on the last and went in the water and finished the round with a double bogey 5, I have never broken 80 around our course in a comp and I just missed out.

Rain stopped so i went out and played 12 holes on the Medal - 1-9 and 16-18. So much better than last night but still lots of room for improvement in consistency.

Was carrying and managed to drop my pitching wedge in the rough on the third - didn't notice till approach to the fourth so got an extra 1000 steps or so in going back for it.

Greens are quite quick and course is playing well.

We played a 3 man T/Scramble at Bonnyton , we all played well net 59.6 sitting in 3rd place when we left .
My mate Roger got his 1st hole in one at the 175 yard 14th, sadly I was the nominated driver for the day

Played my now customary Thursday night 9 holes with daughter tagging along for the walk.

As there was no one on 8 or 9 I decided to play the back 9 rather than the front.

Considering I'd spent much of the day in the car, not eaten since lunchtime and had absolutely no warm up. I played reasonably well. For a change I struck the ball ok, but not particularly well off the tee, and managed to get it in the hole. It turned into the best I've shot on tbe back 9 so far since joining thr club.
Nothing earth shattering, but I'm pleased with a 41, which included a very annoying double on a par 3.

The last two times I've played I've shot 41 for 9 holes. Once on each 9. Which is a marked improvement from, a 95, 49 and 47 the previous 3 trips to the course had produced. So I know there is a decent score in me somewhere if I can string it all together.

Played in the 1st round of the club singles KO (Captains Prize) last night, good tight match against a nice friendly opponent, neither of us played our best but both threw in a few good moments, I managed to sneak a win on the 1st extra hole.

Played yesterday evening about 5 o'clock with my mate, gp score on the go, playing well only 3 over after 14 (off ph 6) when the heavens opened (at Sunny Dunny of all places !) absolutely drenched, finished bogey, double for 79 and differential of 5.9, not one of my best 8 but have six 5.9's now, handy to have for when the next one (5.1) of my best 8 drop off in 7 rounds time

Left home at 05:50. Back home by 07:55 having done 18 holes and round in 78. Amazing how fast you can get around when no one holds you up and you keep the ball on the fairway.

Think I found the swans nest, that I took a picture of a little while ago putting on a display, right next to the tee :-

Golf been pretty good, really enjoying being back out.

Got out for 18 holes, was a bit all over the place, thinning a couple out and beyond with too much loft. I am still shakey with my irons, I just cannot get relaxed and keep feeling I need to prevent coming over the top. This then totally ruins my strike, stop thinking about that stand any way to it upright or flat and boom down the middle from the centre of the head ... so maybe their is a bit too much paralysis by analysis !
Managed to stay in the buffer zone for the round with 2 unpleasant pars to finish. The 18th was a hook off the tee, then a draw around the trees with a hybrid and then a chip to 4ft... I was pretty fed up, but looking back I blew at least 5 shots on 2 holes so stop that and the scoring will become a bit respectable and sink a few birdies as well and then it’s a different round altogether.

Fantastic when it's sunny. No better place to be than out on the links.

Today it was mainly freezing cold, the showers turned into freezing cold persistent rain and because it is spring and my mitts were in my locker my hand were numb. We played "on the perch" a four handed match which despite not producing a winner was an extremely interesting match.

We didn't get round in less than 2 hours.
