I enjoy a greensome for a change.
It’s certainly easier if you have a handicap range, than foursomes.

I played a bit of mixed with my sister, and they played American greensomes sometimes. Where you both played the other persons 2nd shot, and then played alternate shots.
Also worth a try.

I managed to sneak away for a round with my brother at his local course. I haven't played a round in 2 years since my daughter was born / covid happened so it was a bit of a mystery standing on the first tee. We played at The Hampshire outside Andover. It's not a very long course, but had quite a few elevation changes and requires a bit of accuracy. The condition was ok for the low green fee and it wasn't too busy. They seem to have an issue with the sprinkler system as some greens were very waterlogged in places around the sprinkler heads. Somehow I started off with a par, birdie and managed to hang on for a 5 over par round. Considering the gap since I last played, I was over the moon with it. I'm looking forward to playing more golf and playing some more challenging tracks.

After about 5 months of using a shortened shaft on my driver I decided to swap it back to the original heavier, longer shaft for a solo knock tonight to see how it went.
Probably the best driving I've had all year, the heavier shaft seemed to keep my timing in check and the extra shaft length seemed to add about 10 or 15 yards. Very straight in the main as well, think I lost 3 drives to the rough but we're talking less than 5 yards from the fairway.
Culminated in me shooting an equal best ever 78 (par 69). And that was with some shocking wedge play and putting at times.

I'm often last minute when it comes to getting to the course etc. but today I was found out.
Playing with another classic club fan in a pairs open at Burghley Park GC. I was unsure of the weather and ended up rushing to choose what clubs to take and just put last weeks set in, Slazenger Plus International 3-SW, a Slazenger driver and a Greenway (Sri Lanka) putter.
Got to the course for our 2.40 tee time with time to spare, or so I thought but no, it was a 36 hole event and the morning round had already been played!
I booked it a while ago and must have forgotten the format....
We were still able to play in the afternoon round and scored a respectable 40 points (which should have been better as I missed a couple of straight forward putts and duffed a chip) for 21st place in a field of 46 for the afternoon round.
Obviously we didn't contend in the overall event.

Felt like I played terribly today, driving was so so and irons not much better. Somehow still managed to dob it round in 6 over 76.
It's a strange old game. Might take a few weeks off now as my shoulder has started giving me a bit of gyp.

First time I’ve been shocked on a golf course yesterday, played my away course which had very fast greens, on the 3rd I was putting for a par from 8 foot but the ball ended up 20 yards off the green, finished with a 7 ?
That hole was the hardest of the day with a field of 87 players very few parred it.
Ran off 3 other greens from chip shots around the green.
But other than the shots I lost on the green it’s the I best that I’ve played that course.
Very enjoyable day though came around 25th

Round with the boys, nice morning with no wind again.
Hit the ball well, Eagle the 7th for the first time in a while, had 3 birdies as well, 9th 10th and 11th, though did have 2 bogies as well on the front 9. It was a team score again and my pp played well to were were confident of taking the pot. 128 with 3 scores to count. We had the best score of the first 4 groups, the last ground were a 10, 18, 19 and 23, who came in with 140 points ??

Couldn't hole a putt to save my life today...having said that I putted quite well.
I left myself too many long par putts but always had a tap in bogey - balls either lipped on hung on the edge or didn't quite have enough speed or borrow.
Frustrating as it lead to 9 1 point holes...scored 20 on the other 9...just a bit of luck and it could easily have been a mid 30s card...
And we got to the turn ( played the back 9 first) and we found.....
1 group on the green, 1 on the fairway, 1 just teed off, 2 waiting, us, another 2 ball and then 3 groups of the ladies roll up turned up....
The system really seems to be working well..

Quarter finals of our match play comp this afternoon, this time playing against a very steady 5 handicapper. After my last 2 rounds being PB’s I was feeling confident, but knowing that the other guy doesn’t really make mistakes.
I played really well, no real mistakes from me and ended up winning 5&4. I did feel quite bad that after the 14th, he was 3 over but had lost the match, though I was only 4 over.
In my head, I don’t think I’m a 16 handicapper, but that’s what WHS has me at, all of my rounds since last year have had 2/3 blow up holes and I knew as soon as they dropped ami would start tracking towards single figures. In my last 3 rounds, I have shot 77/76/75 with no blow up holes, so starting to play a bit more to what I like.
Hopefully the good form continues as we have our Club Champs in two weeks.

Yes, very much so at the minute it would seem. I have lost a match play tie against Fragger at a old farts meet though, so I can blow up like the best of them.

There was a stableford comp at our place over the weekend. The winner went round in 87 playing off 28 for a steady 50 points.
The runner up shot 82 playing off 21 for 47 points. ?

9 holes with the boy tonight. Despite him toeing one 90* off the first, he played the best golf yet for him. Usually hitting a really poor shot on the first tee would get his head down, but tonight he hit another flushed it which put a bit of a spring in his step.
He drove it really well and did a good job of keeping it in play. His putting needs work, but overall he was rightly proud of himself after the round.
