Well done on the win, impressive score ?

Been on nites this weekend so no golf for me.

Couple of games planned midweek but having a couple of weeks off comps due to shift rota and working out how to break course record to be competitive ?

Just joking on the last one, well played again and it's obvious you are enjoying your new club. Brian and his team have got the course in tremendous condition, as good as I have seen it in my time here.

Just hoping last night's rain hasn't taken the sting out of the course, I really enjoy it when it's bone hard and links golf how it should be played.

Thank you As i've just posted above my best score prior to yesterdays 78 was a 90 so a bit of a personal jump and hopefully something I can maintain/build on going forwards. Big handicap cut as well, onwards and downwards

Really enjoying it, an absolute pleasure to play it and call it my home course It is in such good condition, the greens were super fast even with the rain. I don't think yesterdays rain will have taken much out of it tbh as it will have soaked in super quick - the rough might be up a bit more though ha ha

Spent the morning chasing a little white ball around a field...it's resemblance to golf is tragically overstated

36 hole club champs. Bled bogeys Saturday with a few worse holes for good measure. Awful score and for once not down to my putting which was definitely better than average on the quickest greens I’ve played in a long, long time.

Sunday started well then wheels came off in the frankly ludicrous rough. Not just thick and deep but just off the fairway, stray 10 yards off the short stuff and it’s gone. Was getting it just wide, just out of position all weekend long. Frustrating.

Couldn’t find my ball on 9 so N/R’d at that point aaaaaand...

came back in level gross. Was never in trouble. Anyone would think I was getting in my own way ?

Weekend of matchplay coming up, scratch Saturday and handicap off yellows Sunday. Should be a lot more fun than this weekend, if I go in the rough I can just walk away and let my partner carry me. As Paul McGinley would say several hundred times, there’s no future in it Ewan.

Played at Forfar in Mixed Greensomes and steady light rain all the way round.. PP had a fantastic F9 with 26 points and we had 20. Ended up 42 for them and 38 for us, great start to what promises to be a fun week, they were brilliant company. Just hope weather improves ??

Got an invite to play the heritage at the London club.

The course was tough! They’ve been narrowing the fairways and letting the rough grow (apparently this is all part of their bidding process for the Ryder Cup) plus there was a good 3 club wind.

Managed an ok 32 points to win my group but my driver is now on the naughty step and I was hitting my 2 iron on a lot of holes.

We let a 2 ball through and as they walked past us we realised it was John Regis and Steve Backley!

One of the guys I’m my group hit the ball a country mile but was a bit wild- he saw more bushes than an 70’s porn star

It was a seniors board comp today and me and big Victor ( Meldrew) was joined by Little Victor and Maggert.

Although my driving was not brilliant everything else was clicking. After 8 holes I was sat on 19 points.I was full of confidence and promptly pulled one OOB. Fortunately it’s a long walk from 9 to 10 so I literally reset. Ticked over nicely and promptly chipped in from 10 yards for a 2. My short game inc putting was excellent. Til I got to the next hole, looked up when chipping and topped it through the green. A 20 ft putt got me 2 points. Lo and behold I did exactly the same on the next having pulled me drive to the left again. A second blob. Stood on the 18th tee I had 36 points. It’s a long par five and I put my third in a greenside bunker. I had 20 yds to the pin which was 10 ft above I dropped me bunker shot 12” from the pin. A tap in five finished me on 39 points. 41 points won it ? two flippin blobs cost me gold letters.
That aside chuffed with the two and looks like Ave finished second in the comp, hcap will be cut so chuffed about that. Was strange coz big Victor seemed to be playing really really well so the other two lads were encouraging him. He was 20 ft from the pin on the last and had that for a birdie and 40 points. He left it 4 ft left and lipped out his putt for 38 points. He looked devastated when i told him I had done him. ?

4 & 3 winner in a board competition, had to give 7 shots but sealed it with a birdie.

onto the Semi final next

9 hole medal, 41 gross less my 8 shots put me on top of the leader board, another cut expected

 

[Tashyboy]

I was rammel.

 

[upsidedown]

Mixed Foursomes at Kirriemuir and after a steady 20 points going out came home in 26 for 46 total. Dodged the forecasted rain until the last 3 holes. Had heard it was described as quirky but apart from being on the short side thought a fine example of James Braid's work

Played Mitcham yesterday with my school old boys golf society. Nice course. Managed 15 holes before the heavens opened. 36 points, but 38 won it.

Went down to South for a few days playing a well known open venue,then open at ballater and Edzell. Played great round the links, but rubbish at the two parkland, 77 and 78 gross not much good off 3, not going to effect my handicap alas, could do with going up a couple of shots. Oh and it rained most of it so got soaked

Midweek Stableford today..not off to the best of starts with 2 bogeys but settled after that..
Greens were like lightning an we had many 6 foot putts coming back..
A moderate breeze wasn't helping much either
15 points out and an encouraging 19 back with a birdie on one of the toughest holes.
Currently leader in the clubhouse but Hell will have to freeze over if 34 points is going to win it..

Out tonight for 18 holes on the Ashludie, the wife was playing in the Ladies' comp and I was just having a hit. Weather was strange - not a breath of wind for the first half dozen or so holes and very warm - the sun came out briefly as we played the fifth and it was incredibly hot for those few minutes, kind of wish it had stayed like that as I hit my approach close and knocked the putt in for my only birdie of the night, though i had a few other good chances.

The rain over the last few days has softened the course more than I expected and there were a couple of times I under clubbed. Was in three green side bunkers and got up and down twice so that bit of the game is sound. A bit of a breeze appeared as we played the 7th and it cooled down a fair bit - Generally hit the ball well and it was a nice walk.

Went out last night for a hopeful 18 before the footy at a course I'm playing in an invitational at on Sunday. A single was out ahead of me and a fourball ahead of them. After a few holes the guy ahead told me the 4ball had no intention of letting anyone play through so did i want to join him.

Had a lovely knock with the auld fella and after starting out quite frantically (tripled the first) the slowed pace really helped my game out.

Was dreading Sunday as I'd been in terrible form recently but I just hit the driving iron off every tee bar the first yesterday and was really happy with the results, even off the back tees.

32 pts in a stableford comp. last night - FOUR putted the 8th after being on the green (Par 5) and only about 12 feet away for 3!
Then on the last stupidly tried to drive the green and lost my ball, made 4 with the provisional. 36 would still have fallen 4 short of enough to win.

Had a missed call on my phone when I finished.
It was Golf Goodies...

I'd only gone and won a brand new Stroke Lab 7 putter!

And England won.

What a night

Play three over the weekend.

Sunday - South Chesterfield - Great course. Set up to allow golf ie did not loose a ball. Played well. Avoided the torrential rain by 10 minutes!!!!
Monday - Abbeydale - Awesome place. Best greens for a very loooooooong time. Played rubbish. Big dust up with one of the lads (he's got a screw loose). Cracking night of the beer, we left the nutter in on his own.
Tuesday - Sickleholme - Great course. The lad we (two of us) had the dust up with went home the previous night and we've agreed he will not be coming again, as this is the second time he's done this to us. It felt like a huge black cloud had finally been lifted from us. Played great golf and had a brilliant day.

For the first time in years I cannot wait for next years trip.

Hell got a bit chilly as 35 won Division 1. We had a PCC of 2.
