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

A game of two halves and two extremes. Played the front 9 as well as I've ever done. As in control as I've ever felt, it was joyful. Then something happened ?. Don't know what but the swing went, my touch went. Horrible.

Currently home, comfort eating cake, feeling sorry for myself and very fed up.

4somes KO
hit the ball lovely
got stuffed ?

Yeah, sorry about that When we were 2 down after 7 I was very worried.

I'll try my best to make sure you went out to the eventual winners

From a personal best 83 on Tuesday to a 90 today. Normal service has resumed

Golf.

Cheeky 6 holes late on a Friday night. Gorgeous sun, no wind - one of those very rare links summer evenings.

Is it OK for your 9YO little boy to hit it better than you? And get closer than you from two bunkers? Asking for a friend!

Tell your friend that it should fill his heart with joy.

It was a perfect example of why Im not a fan of that comp ?

Thought we would get rained off today, but the forecast was wrong. We decided to go down and give it a shot and it was fine. Few drizzly showers over the mid point of the round but nothing too awful.

Long story short, I really really need to sort my putting out. I think the greens are just in my head now. I don't feel confident over any putt. Total score was 86.. with 40 putts. That's almost half the bloody shots!! Three-putted five times total! Four times in five holes on one stretch of the front nine. Absolute mess. My back nine of 39 (5 over) was good to be fair, but the damage was done, and it's very easy to see the difference between a decent round and a good one at the moment. Stableford was 34 points - 13 out and 21 in. Tee to green I'm hitting it probably better than ever.

A completely avoidable triple bogey on the second messed up an otherwise decent round 40 out 39 back for +1 to handicap. Striking the ball well, chipping and putting decent if not spectacular. Comp of the yellows Monday, for some reason I always struggle starting closer to the hole.

Played in a pairs open today at Royal Musselburgh ️ Weather not in our favour as the heavens opened up on the first tee, it did improve though towards the end ? typically! Played terribly, but fab course. Bargain @ £16 a pair ?

 

[Italian outcast]

First main comp of the 'new' season for me - post Feb-March hackings and a Hcp in freefall in May in general play
40 points with 2 OOB, + 1 unplayable and 2 missed 4 footers .... so some promise there

Won the comp as well

 

[TigerTime]

Golf.

Yes!


Finished nett -1 today in the medal, so hopefully get a wee deduction from that.

 

[backwoodsman]

Played in the 1st round of the annual Club Challenge - the summer matchplay knockout. Played pretty decent and putted really well. Lost on the 4th extra hole ... Disappointed but really enjoyed the match.

The Jamega tour were on site, setting up for tomorrow's comp.
Apols my camera (phone) & skills aren't up to some


Golf wise some encouragement, felt the most like a golfer since the spring return. Highlight being making par on all of the four par 3 holes, with three in regulation and the other chipping on from short but bang on line.

Jumped on this afternoon half an hour after the previous 4ball had teed off for a solo knock. I'd caught them by the 4th and could tell them had no intention of letting my play through so I finished the 4th and leapfrogged them to the 7th and ended up joining on with a couple of lads I'd played with before for the back 9.

Played to my handicap and was fairly consistent, my worst being couple of doubles which is rare for me - and one of them was a 3-off-the-tee.

Focused on my irons really and was striking them nicely after the first few holes. So happy with that again ahead of a golf day for my pals 30th at Lancaster on Friday.

Not a rain shower in sight ? (well ok, just a couple of very light ones) but a cracking afternoon for a batsmen’s innings ? aka round of golf ??‍ But with a score a batsmen would be proud of... going from bad to worse at the mo but it’ll come good.

Looking from the 13th green, across the front 9 and over the Solway towards South West Scotland.

 

[TreeSeeker]

Played a 36 hole comp today... what an absolute marathon that felt like.

kicked off with a poor 12 points on the front 9 but held together, cracking score of 38 points on the afternoon round helped pull me back up to 12th place. alot to work on, but mostly just confidence off the tee, irons are firing well.

no photos... but... south east london if anyone is in the area you know today wasn't prime golfing weather.

 

[GreiginFife]

Went out for a late afternoon round and swapped to my carry bag, forgetting to put any balls in.
Bought a sleeve of Q Star Tour in the pro shop and definitely pleasantly surprised, seems like a very decent ball and at £27 a dozen a contender going forward.

Played ok, managing an 80 with a bit of a dead arm from my covid jab on Friday. Had some trouble swinging with any real speed but still ok with the 80.

Would have been a pity to go a weekend of glorious sunshine without hitting a ball but by the time I managed to head out (7.20pm) the sky had clouded over - still nice though.

Played the first four holes on the Medal and the last three, took the carry bag and just a driver and half a dozen irons (nothing longer than a 6 iron) - enjoyed it a lot and hit the ball well - drives on the last three holes were as good as I've ever hit in my life - sadly I doubt the surprise arrival of a baby draw will be there by Wednesday's comp. Putting was decent too.

Noticed on the first green that the head cover for my Scotty was missing and was pretty sure it was there when I left the house, so retraced my steps on the way home and someone had put it on a wall at the side of the footpath so happy result.


4th green Monifieth Medal

Hammered down for 30 mins then sunshine during round 2 of our eclectic. Frustrated as I shanked twice on the par 5 and lost two in the crap on our 11th scored no better than the 1st round. Had a couple of tops off the tee which boiled the urine as well. Other than that I bested the previous weeks score. Not going to win, but definitely climb the ladder.

 

[PrimroseandBlue]

Today I sat in the car for 15 minutes to let the rain pass, and then got onto my early evening tee time.

Of course, by the 7th hole, the heavens opened. By the start of the 9th, I was a walking water hazard. By the time I got to the green, there was standing water everywhere. So I gave it up as a bad job, which was lucky as it then got worse. Oh well, another twilight tee time booked in already!

Turns out we were at the same place yesterday! When people say this place is 'underrated' I think they're doing it a disservice. It is truly spectacular, and among the very best links the UK has to offer.
