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

Played 4 times this week and most of it very scrappy! Shot under par one round but most +4/5. I just struggle with ball striking and turf interaction in the winter. Divets are too big or I catch the ball thin. Everything bang on line just striking causing distance issues. Good walk and fresh air, roll on spring.

Greensomes comp, weather just about stayed ok, was a slow round though, not sure if typically this is a slow format but played well and enjoyed the round.

Should be a pretty quick format. The predicted weather caused a few to cancel from the Comp, so we had a quick sub 4hr round that turned out to be better weather than that prediction. Even better was me managing a tidy 41pts. Course playing incredibly well for mid Dec.

7 over gross with 3 doubles..........says it all.
37 points and a cut to 6.7 but,..........AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH......
37 points from 15 holes.....AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGĢGHHHHHHHH
Normality has resumed though...Fragger put in his place - there will be tales of woe as to how many shots he left out there including a 6 inch backhander putt that was missed....
But........AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

35-37 today, played well for 15 holes, but had 3 where I played like a plonker
Par 3 with 2 shots, on the green for 2 about 8 feet away, should have been a 4 for 3 at minimum.
No I’ll take a 6 for 1 instead

2 holes later, par 5 with 2 shots, decent drive, cue 3x scabby shots and I’m still 200 out, blob

So near, yet so far

Winter League, 4BBB divisional stage.
We were going nice and steady, 35 points after 15 holes but then imploded and scored just 2 points in the last 3 holes!
What a .......

First round in over a month, just me and a mate as the other 2 Ball cancelled last minute meaning we couldn’t enter the comp. Good to be back out though on a very mild and warm day.

Social knock today, played the 'chairman' game from the yellows. My clubs obviously knew they are likely to be replaced ? highlight being a 7 iron that pitched right by the hole and finished 18 inches away. A first for me as I had 4 birdies including a 40 foot Na-style walk in on 18 ? Won with 2 points.
Didn't let that the forecasters had it all wrong spoil things, but 3 hours of 'Lancashire drizzle" wasn't expected ?

Winter league match today, won 2&1 but were never really in trouble being between 2-4 holes up for most of the round.

Played well personally, round in 80 but felt like a I left quite a lot out there. Holed some long putts, but generally left too many on the edge of the hole. Greens are ridiculously fast for this time of year and still rolling nicely. Finding it quite hard adjusting yardages for the cold and wind which is a bit frustrating

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Hit the ball badly but still managed to get it round in 35 points off the whites yesterday and 31 off the yellows on Saturday. Actually hit it better in the 31 points. Was really scabby yesterday but just back from the range and back to hitting it more solid. Putting it down to a Covid heavy week in work and maybe too much beerage Friday night and post golf Saturday

 

[rudebhoy]

43 points for the 3rd round in a row (Thursday, Saturday and today). Playing really nicely at the moment, couldn’t be happier with my game - no doubt the wheels will fall off any day now!

0layed this morning with the boys, hit it OK, apart from my tee shot on the first which was a big block into the sea. After that hit it well 2 birdies one bogey, the rest pars on the front 9, hit it well on the back 9, esp off the tee. Birdies on 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 18 and one bogey on the 13th. Still not in the money though. A decent day and decent company. Good days winter golf

Seniors Christmas Scramble today, we ended up in the bottom three, didn't get a sniff at a birdie all the way round and I was hitting my irons very poorly.

 

[Imurg]

Dry to start and then a bit of drizzle that turned to full on rain for almost an hour made it a grind today
An uncomfortable 5 or 6 holes around the turn
Swing was a bit off today, many pushy fades....
Still got it around in 10 over - not good but not a disaster.
2 nice birdies..not enough pars.....

Went to the indoor studio at Rickmansworth yesterday with my wife and a friend. Thought it would be a laugh, didn't have hugely high hopes though as they're only charging a tenner an hour per person. I was right not to, there wasn't really any proper software uploaded it was just the Golf Club 2019 which I had on PS4. ? It was still a bit of a laugh, but very inconsistent if it even picked up our shot or not, quite a few times we had to hit it again for it to register. Distance was a bit random at times but we had it set up to play a course and I think maybe it was taking yards off for you being in the rough/sand etc. Most annoyingly was there was no option to skip putting so we wasted 10 mins per hole trying to putt a ball into an imaginary hole. ? Nonsense but still an hour spent hitting balls. The wife said she much prefers being on a real course. Not sure if that extends to current conditions though.

8 birdies in a round and 5 under on the back 9!!! Take a bow. That's amazing.

Course is pretty short tbh all the par 5 are easily reachable in 2.

Still got to hit good shots though ?

Haven't posted on this thread for a while, mainly because I'm usually completely rubbish! Shot a 90 on Sunday with an 11 on the 9th so counted as a 87 for WHS purposes - had 7 pars which was extremely satisfying. Cherry on the top was winning our winter pairs match 3&1.

Been wracked with Sciatica this past 6 months or so with it really affecting my golf this last 12 weeks or so. Started out on CBD gummies, made no difference to golf, moved on to oil and I've got to say I can now swing at around 60% with a sawn off follow through but it has made golf enjoyable again since the sciatica returned. Last few Sunday open rounds have been 33, 36, 39 and 33 pts, these included a win with 36 pts and a 2 (39pt round) as well as holing out on the 18th from 68 yards for birdie after an awful second shot. I know @MikeH is a fan of CBD stuff too, Its not a miracle cure but takes enough off the edge of the pain to make the game fun again.
Back at the gym again too, shifted over a stone so far and hopefully a little more off will take the pressure off the nerve and I can get back to trying to screw myself into the ground again.
