35 points in the roll up to finish second despite not feeling great. New swing change worked better thanks for better tempo and having switched to my Anser Cadence blade finally remembered how to putt

You guys must have had it worse than we did, Saturday was cold but no sign of frost
I live 3 minutes from the course but it's amazing the difference between my place and the course when it's cold. The problem is the greens staff are in early at it's coldest, once they've done what they need to do they are out of there, so no changing of pins regardless of the temps come 10/11am, which I suppose is fair enough if guys are stating at 8 on a winter course

Its a pleasant 9 holer that has a links feel as it almost borders Chichester harbour. Yesterday it was benign but i would imagine in the wind it would be fairly tough, particularly the 2 par 5's (the 2nd measures 568 off of the yellows).
It certainly wouldnt match up to the main Hayling Island course but i suppose it depends on what you are used to playing. I certainly enjoy playing down there. The greens were a little mottled in places but generally in good condition for this time of year.

Cheers. Have never played it so on that report I will def give it a go
I can confirm it's a nice little track, took the eldest round there last Wednesday in shorts n t-shirt. May need a few more layers now mate.

Had a random day off yesterday (holiday to use up) and had a knock at Bushey Hall. Cracking front nine of 42 (21 points) followed by a much less cracking back nine of 48 (14). 35 points overall, not too bad, but obviously I'm disappointed I didn't maintain the good start. For some reason I did very poorly on the par 3s, whereas par 3s are normally my stronger holes if anything. Fives pars in total, all on par 4s.
No frost here on Sat or Sunday, though there was some on Monday. Played Nairn Dunbar as ours is closed for the start of the redesign work. Played Dunbar again yesterday and the big difference between them and Nairn is once Nairn goes on winter greens that's it for the day, even if the temp went up to 20 deg
ND changed the flags once the temp got up and all back on by 10am. That would have been it for the day at Nairn

Well. Yesterday was Halloween
And my golf, Fragger's golf and CVG's golf was a nightmare!!
I played slightly less crap than the others.
I think that's all that needs saying on the matter.....

You have had your full cream rising to the top a couple of weeks ago. You have now got to put up with sour milk for the foreseeable. Thems the rules
but did you get the drinks in yet?

No chance to play aside from weekends so off to a range last night. Rocked up to Lavender Park in Ascot where I have my lessons to find they have TopTracer in some of the bays. Quick chat with the guy I use for lessons and a quick five minute refresher, although tweaks as I was in a great tempo and the new change working, and he showed me the features. A great session followed with far more structure. I tried the global par three challenge (same hole worldwide on their software) which was great for focus and alignment to a specific challenge. Several other options that really let me work with a specific target and real time feedback on how I was performing. Really enjoyed the session, hit the ball well and pumped for the competition at the weekend now

Had the pleasure to play over the last few days:-
Conwy, let a great score go today, 3 putted from about 10-12ft three times, hit 10 GIR, no birdies and topped 4 fairway wood shots off the fairway, shot 9 over. Won the family matchplay 6:3:1.
RSD, managed 15 holes before dark. Family took a beating
Nefyn, started in rain/wind for 3 holes, on the old course but dried up, by which time I had lost 2 balls to the sea
, thought the front 9 holes were great and really enjoyed them, about on par with Sheringham. The 2nd hole is a great sweeping hole
Played 'the point' 9 holes in 1 over, certainly different and can say I have never teed off from a coast guards tower before but have now WTH

Playing yesterday in really strong winds only managed 32 points but it was mainly my putting let me down, 6 makeable putts missed, trying out a new (to me) ball and it seemed to roll a little bit more, several putts went well past the hole.
The winning score in the comp was only a couple under handicap and the best of the first division was only one better than handicap (37 points).
Our greens at the moment are superb, as good as they have been at any time this year.
