First time playing at Llanymynech GC today. Really enjoyed the round, course and scenery despite not playing that well. Sponsored 4BBB comp with the winners taking a trip to La Cala. Two pairs came in with 51 points, 15 under off 85% handicap. One pair were 15 and 26 handicappers. WHS has a lot to answer for

Drat , peaked too soon . Did a casual round today and had a 1.9 diff so should see a .5 cut. Vets cup on Sunday for over 60's !!

Fourball knockout this evening. I got ten shots and my PP sixteen. Front nine was a mixed bag and were even at the turn. I played good consistent golf from then and my PP made the most his shots on the par 3s (he also put a 160 yard approach to 1ft) and we won 4&2.

75 blows in the medal at Silloth this morning.
Hit the ball very nicely but chipped and putted like a clown ?

My golf is in a much better place than it has been the last couple of years.

Bad day at the office. Lost ball on the 3rd and double of the next so never got going.

Worst round in years.

Medal this afternoon and it was a funny old one.
Our 4th is blind over a hill and has a bell at the other side. So does the 14th that runs parallel.
Heard the (a) bell and hit my drive right down the middle over the hill. Then heard a second bell being rung obviously in annoyance.
Got over the hill and my ball is nowhere to be seen. A mysteriously vanishing Q Star... one of them has pocketed it out of annoyance at me hitting my drive.

This totally pissed me off and my head was gone from then on. Had started Par, Birdie Bogey and then after that fiasco, 7 then 6.
Head was totally gone.

84 for a nett 75 (did birdie the last thanks to a good second and nice little chip for a 4 footer).

Could really punch people in the face sometimes. Stealing a ball is worse than slow play!

A nice twilight at the ridge as its opposite where my caravan is pitched.
85 blows so happy with that as I couldn’t buy a putt but my chipping was pretty good.
Driving was a big plus with several measured at 280+ and finding the middle of the fairway

What a joy to read. Well done mate ???

Played the second round of a 36 hole comp today and stood over the first tee with a quiet confidence as I'd had a couple of decent rounds recently.

This was promptly chewed up and spat out after a silly 3 putt bogey on the first, which is normally a gentle opener, followed by a 7 (SEVEN?!) on the Par 3 second.

Managed to recover with 4 pars on the bounce and reign it in to shoot 2 under my handicap in the end.

Mixed emotions really - disappointed as I left a lot out there and never really got the measure of the greens (which were lightning, even compared to yesterday). But also very happy that I didn't let the start ruin the round for me. A few months ago I'd have crumbled.

Don’t worry mate it’ll be ???? next week

Played well today but greens were so slow it was a joke.
Lots of grass just not cut down anywhere near fast enough.
Dissapointed.

 

[HampshireHog]

Played solid until the 15th then dropped 5 shots in the last 4 holes. Idiot!

Can officially say I’ve reached a lifetime goal. I’m a scratch handicap golfer (well,…playing as one - 0.3 index)

Me and my mate hammered 7-5 in our 4BBB k/o match yesterday.

Played a 5 and 6 hcap pairing so with my game at the moment far too dependent on my short game working magic I needed my buddy to use his 16 shots well. But as all know 24 hcappers can have ... erm...let’s call them ‘less good days’ as well as stonkingly good ones. I knew after just two holes he was unfortunately going to have one of the former and that things most likely were to be up to me. And though my short game was OK - no better - I didn’t play well enough to use the shots that I got to hold the two lower guys. And so it came to pass.

Not too down about it as didn’t hit a single Lucy Locket - which is very unusual - especially when my game is under pressure; and for the first time used what I got from a lesson on Thursday to hit a few decent shots with my new hybrid and driver, and persevered with changed grip and address throughout.

Onwards and Upwards?

34 pts, couple of 3putts, one 4putt ? missed a 2 ft birdie, (plus a couple 2 ft pars) played 3 off the tee and had at least 2 blobs. Got cut by 0.2 on the HI. My irons were mainly top class landing most the time within 15ft wedges were half that .. they sounded awesome.... but the rest of my game was definitely awol.
Have a diver fitting on Thursday and will have look at my putting stroke.
Seriously considering a Ping cross over in 4 and 3 ... the 4 though has to be easy off the fairway and okay in the second cut.

-2 on the 15th tee then lost my ball. Recovered to knock it round in level par. Played a friendly four ball and we lost 5&4!!! The opposition played very well and dovetailed to perfection. Nothing we could do!

Awesome.

Bet you wish you started a blog now ?

So tell us, what was the biggest factor in getting down there from where you were?

On Friday, lost in a 4BBB for my club’s seniors. We never led, but were back to all square after the 16th, but lost the last two. Played OK ... probably just short of handicap ... but missed SHORT putts to win two holes during the round. ? My daughters bought me putting lessons for my birthday ... I need to book them asap!

Played a scratch 4BBB against a couple of guys, one was ok but the other... So slow and when he did knock in a putt for a half or something there was a roar out of him like Rory at the Ryder Cup. Came across a bit of an infraction magnet.

We both played well but didn’t covert enough birdies. Lost 1 down. Crumbs.
