Indeed he will!!!

Glorious day on the course today. A tad chilly first thing butmonce the sun came out it warmed up nicely.
CVG went off like a train with a par and a birdie start, I could only muster a par, par.
Then onto the 3rd.
131 yards of prime English parkland par 3, played towards Antelope and Camels in the Zoo........
Only went and holed the tee shot didn't I!!!!!
To be fair it was a slightly thin 9 iron and it did rattle the flagstick before dropping in but I really don't give a monkeys
Number 3 for me and that would have been enough to make my day.
So then I thought I'd drop in the best round I've played in 2 1/2 years and shoot a +1 74 gross round - and I was 8 inches away from the eagle on the last that would have made it a level par one.
13 pars, an Eagle, a Birdie, 2 bogeys and a double....
A mighty fine day at the office..

so you are saying he had a HIO and didn't get the drinks in for everyone at the club??

Played my first 18 for over a decade on Sunday. Went round in 90 so was disappointed not to break that, then again I didn't really have any target to aim for. Aiming to better it next time out.

Very cold on the hills. Duffed it up the first, three to get to the top, then sent a rocket to the green ending up a meter from the flag. Two lads on the second praised the "approach" shot. "was it your second shot?".....didn't was to disapoint them. "sure" I replied. They let me though..... smashed a monster down the second to back up my "birdie" on the first. Then duffed it round the rest. Walked off after 11, three balls lost and sooooooo cold!

Fragger and CVG both had to dash off and the bar wasn't even open...
So.....No

Yes, but to be fair we finished and were away before the bar opens at 11.

Fret not we won’t forget 👍

Yeh I'm back

First game without any real troubles from the injuries of late. 4 under handicap (3 over gross) and only the third time this year I have played better than handicap.

Well done mate. Couldn’t of happened to a nicer fella. Take it the dispatcher was out in force

 

[louise_a]

I played in our first winter 12 hole rollup comp thismorning , I kept up my good form from the end of the season and scored 26 points,should have finished off in style with a birdie on the 12th but missed a 3 foot putt.

 

[patricks148]

Well shorts weather is well and truly over. Freezing this morning and had to put my waterproofs on, but it hammered it down from the 2nd though to the 10th tee then the sun came out. But still cold. bag and everything in it got soaked so had to bring the clubs home to dry them out, might even give them a clean while they are here. drove the ball nicely, but helped by a northerly so could aim at the moray firth and slinging hook it out then and the wind brought it back. Harder on the back 9 but again hit it way left and let the wind do its work. only team game today to get round as quickly as possible. Probably be the last game on the full course as will be shooting tomorrow and the course is closed MTW to start the changes and course maintenance.

Played at Leamington today courtesy of 4 ball voucher I won on Captain's charity day back in the Summer. Course in not too bad a nick although greens had just been spiked and still a lot of cracks on the fairway. Made very welcome and had a great day out with buddies , won 3&2 and eagled 14

 

[Deleted member 21258]

Had half a day off and played Aberdovey for a bargain of £18.50. Fairway coverage is still showing the summer damage but recovering.

Teed off in hailstones and blowing a hoola, had to run into the starters hut for cover, it was freezing bought back memories of Turnberry & Kent Wife was not happy Wind from n/ne so into the wind on the front 8 & 11, then with wind until the 16th and the wind died very strange

Real friendly in pro shop and bought a rain hat for £15, bargain Round in 3hr 10mins as a 3 ball, nice course, didn't really fire me up as alot of holes were straight/flat, certain flashes of greatness there. Will return on a nicer weather day and wind in normal direction for sure.

Winter greens today

 

[jim8flog]

Day out with the lads at Lyme Regis 3 degrees and no wind when we arrived about 6 degrees and blowing a hoolie by the time we started and a double hoolie by the time we were finishing.
My own score was only 30 points but the winning score was only 33. I was the only player with a two so scooped the whole pot and more than the comp winner.

If it was pro game they might have suspended play because of what the wind was doing to the ball and it was a waste of time clearing leaves and debris off your line because by the time you got back to the ball there was another lot.

I played Woking yesterday in a society day, I wasn’t playing great, but grinding it out for the first 6 holes, I then lost my head after 3 putting from 20ft on 7, took 4 to get down from an easy position on 8, and lost my tee shot after carrying the trees on 9 - played ok coming back in, but the damage was done. I really enjoyed the course, we had all seasons weather wise, including hail stones.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Monthly stableford. Second group out and barely light and bitterly cold. Played yesterday and had 1 x 4 putts and 5 x 3 putts which is usually a reliable facet. Decided to swap putters today in a bid to freshen it up. I've totally lost the pace of the greens and another 6 x 3 putts today. The new swing change coming on in fits and starts and the good swings are much better. Just so hard to change from stacking the shaft after so long. Still plenty of time over the winter to get it right and now had a safety net of an extra shot having hit 14.5
