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

Stableford comp today and was ready for a day of woe after the warm up and first tee shot.
As it was, I had the best ball striking day I have had in a number of months, and holed a few putts. Came in with 35 points for 4th place, and with CSS up to 75 means a cut back down into cat 1 and off 5.2.

Long may that continue!
 
Winter League, 4BBB matchplay, I was playing with Wilson laminated 1 and 3 woods, Dunlop Maxfli Australian Blades, 2 to PW, Dunlop Peter Thomson SW and a Bronty Silver Knight putter.

I birdied the tricky first hole and we had two more birdies to be one over gross and three up at he turn, but they then turned it on and won the next three holes and were in turn 1 over gross on the back nine, I ended up needing to hole an unpleasant 6 footer to halve the match and luckily the Silver Knight came up trumps.

Good match and a fair result in the end.
 
Bizarre 79 in this mornings medal - I was +7 after 4, then level for the rest of the front 9, but should have been -2 over those 5 holes, and could have been -5.... +1 back 9, again could have been lower if I could have got some putts to drop.

Happy with the score as I felt the swing was all over the place, should see me get a small cut.
 
I played today...

... I shouldn't have. What a painful round, even missed my two birdie putts at the end which would have at least saved part of the day! One of those days.
 
Went back to my old club yesterday. It’s in great condition..... Terrible first hole followed by some steady golf afterwards.
Got me thinking about rejoining, but it’s back to that distance debate. No issue at weekends, but midweek golf and practice is hard to come by.....
Gonna have another look at a couple of clubs again and bite the bullet either way!
 
22 putts on the front 9 not exactly cat 1 standard putting.

Struck the ball really well all the way round, shape about the clown holding the putter :mad:

If the 92 was yesterday and the weather was anything like it was here then I can understand. I went in after 9, freezing cold and wet through.

Yeah, Saturday. It was baltic. Seriously cold. No rain, but cold. Ok, with the right clothing, it would have been ok, but I was seriously under equipped. My fault, but yep, frozen all day, and it was a 4.40 round. Lots of hanging about. 3.40 today. Way different.
 
Day late. Played at Farthingstone with my friend, 11.30 tee time for £14 each!

Was very cold and (despite the forecast) very wet.

Straight matchplay, I beat him 4&2 after being 2 down after 4.

Shot an 84 which I was thrilled with, given the conditions and was 1 over my handicap.
 
First round of the winter 4BBB competition. A good (and have to say, very satisfying) 8&6 win especially as the oppo's were off 5 & 6 hc respectively. Both me & partner played a blinder. And before anyone says "that's handicapping for you" we'd have still been 4 up with six to play had it been off scratch. Pleased!
 
Texas Scramble today, team handicaps of 4, 5, 9 & 10, so 2.8, great round and finished on 9 under gross, 11.8 under nett.
In with a shout but will have to wait until tomorrow as computer crashed.
 
Played 18 holes at Tournerbury on Hayling Island at sunrise this morning. Absolutely beautiful autumn morning and shot 86 so pleasing all round.
 
Entered the 'Autumn Shield Stableford' on Saturday. Started fairly well, thought I was playing alright but even my slightly bad shots were punished. Felt like I got no luck whatsoever. Ended up with only 29 points, which looks poor but I honestly felt I played better than that. Oh well, another 0.1. Running out of comps this year to get another cut now.

It was chilly too. First round in a long, long time that I had to dig the trousers out of the drawer rather than shorts. Not to mention the nice warm glove to put on my right hand in between shots.
 
Squeezed in 14 holes at RSD yesterday later afternoon, great to play it again after a couple of months. Still love the course, the bunker placement and look are so good. Greens are big and lush.

Played Porthmadog golf club, certainly a course of different nines, cant think of a course so different that I have played before. They are remodelling their 6th with more water in play.

Struck the ball great, couple of birdies, missed the eagle putt on 17th from about 3 foot, doh, lost 2 balls in the first cut double doh and 2 balls off the 11th tee par 3 triple doh(n)
