Tain open h it it ok, two over gross. Downside was a lost ball on the 6th when I was going well, easiest hole in the course, double. Was lying 3rd. Perfect conditions, firm greens and fairways.rarely get such a perfect scoring day

1st competition of the season
it rained throughout but that was actually no problem
Its a 9-hole course
First 9 were a horror show - 11 pts
Last 9 = 24 pts with 5 sound pars and a couple of 3 putt bogeys
How can i be 13 shots lower - just mental

I love scrambles. Brilliant laugh with three mates. Even better when you win.

Yeah it’s not for me, it was slow from the start. And I’m sure I said never again the last time I played it.
Spent that long on my feet today I’ve had to resort to getting a buggy for tomorrow’s medal. ?

Played my 2nd comp of the year yesterday. First qualifying comp.

Was 2 over thru 13 holes and stuck my 2nd shot to a par 5 oob. Did the same with the next one. Blank hole. So silly. Could have hit a very safe sw to the right angle dog leg but decided a 9 was good to lay up. Should have bombed hybrid over if I was going to take the risk.
Missed a 2 footer on the next for par and needed to get a wriggle on to finish well.
Bird 16 and 17 and a par to finish left me on 39 points.

That's two decent scores with card in hand this year. Putting has come on this year. All those putts on the carpet over winter paying off. Haha

4 birdies on the card which is rare enough for me and in on honesty there could have been more. Still fighting my hook but cant complain.

Came 3rd. First voucher of the year. Happy days

Played 11 holes this evening. Some good but sloppy round the greens.

I played today and got hit!

Just walking off the front of the par 3 third when an errant shot on adjacent par 5 bounced once then struck me on the cheek! Went down like a sack of, think more from shock than pain!

Not my best round but least I had an excuse!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Rubbish in medal today but fortunately it’ll have no impact on my handicap and hopefully and with a bit less of the carelessness and a little more luck with the putting (nothing dropped today) it never will.

Played in the Daily Mail foursomes yesterday at Hart Common, we were giving 9 shots and it was very even over the first 9, then they parred 4 of the next 5 to go 4 up with 4 to play, helped by a mixture of good play and some blowups by our opponents we battled back to all square after 18 and set off down the first again, we were around 6 feet away in 3 when they holed a good putt for a 5 nett 4 and we picked up our marker and "shook hands".
It was only when driving home that I thought, we had that putt for a half! I think the fact that we had needed to win the previous 4 holes was still in our minds and we were thinking all they needed was a half. Ah well one of those things .

I get fed up with to many Texas Scrambles at our club much rather play in single competitions, played in a greensome competition yesterday that must be the worst format it’s like your only playing a half round.

Really bad round again... iron play went awol... was going to give it a rest for a few weeks, it really isn’t worth the time or effort given the issues are just on the course. Might be just lumping too much pressure on myself

We have a Greensome coming next Saturday I went through the 'should I bother' about a third of the usual early starters have booked in to the 9 hole course and one entire large group always make that Saturday their away day.

I used to love greensomes when my driving wasn't working well but rest of the game was OK - get to go out and have a thrash off the tee in the knowledge you are probably going to hit the second shot - often sorted out the driving problems.

Bit of a landmark day today
First outing for my new driver a Ping G425 SFT, fitted for it yesterday and the guy had them in stock, so it would have been rude not to

Very happy with it, hit some lovely drives, still have the ability to fire one or 2 badly right, but a great improvement.

Monthly Medal today, shot net 72 which not only puts me second in Div 3 on count back, but is my first time in 5 years that my handicap has not increased after a comp or supplementary card

Also beat @Imurg net 85, I was only 6 away from beating him gross, which has never happened before.

So all in all, a very good day and a happy Fragger ?

I'd heard that custom fitting could make improvements, didn't realise it could work miracles!!

It’s true, I even hit a draw on one hole
And that just doesn’t happen to me ?

That's beyond miraculous...

 

[Imurg]

Well.....
I wasn't last
I beat Fragger gross
I didn't lose a ball..
Bearing in mind the near total loss of golfing ability I'm taking that as a win.
I can't remember hitting the ball so many times...

Phil - can I ask which shaft you ended up in the G425?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Bog standard 55Reg Altaco? It’s in a weird graphic on the shaft

But heck is it good ( from the point of view of a serial slicer) ?

I, currently, do not have a functioning golf game....
Moments of respectability surrounded by oceans of inability
Going to be a tough medal on Sunday day.....#willibreak100?

I’m in the same spot, I’ve got a week to find a swing.
