Played with a 3 handicapper on Saturday that was -3 for front nine and still -2 after 14. Wheels came off a tad but still finished +1 to take the money. Never seemed to get out of first gear. Joy to watch

Played Fortrose today, my golf was absolutely horrendous, weather not great to start with, really cold strong wind and a bit of rain.
Just never got going, was glad when it was done.

Just had a look at the scorecard not a long course bogies on them 3 long holes would be ok, surprised that first hole is stroke index 2 ,I was under the impression the strike index was recommended not to be lower than 8.

The guideline is that there should be 2 cards , one with SIs for match play and the other for stableford (ie difficulty).

Where I play, like some others, we only have one card with SIs set for stableford , we used to have to 2 but players just got confused and often used the wrong card.

That’s interesting ,I’ve never heard of any club that has two cards.

Played a match against my Dad today - real close battle and by the 15th he was 1up, I managed to win the last 3 holes to take the victory!

Overall I was really pleased with my score (88 gross and 34 points) because I really didn't bring my A game.

 

[Tongo]

Played the Parkland course at East Horton. Shot 86 with a couple of birdies, including the last, so rather pleased.

Played Trevose today.... really windy, but a big help on several, played very well for 39 points! Into the wind I just played easy and didn’t try to be daft and fierce it...

I see what Sam meant about Trevose. The good holes are good, but there are some odd bits! Lots of work going on and moving soil around

Yesterday with Fragger - the old codger snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...
Frosty seat so putting was virtually impossible to judge as was bounce, spin and run!
A 2 point defecit had become 4 by the 15th tee...this was getting serious!
Fragger proceeds to blob 15 and 16 while I pick up the required 4 points.
We then halve the last two for a countback win for Yours Truly

Today with CVG - foggy to start but no frost or breeze.
18 out, 17 back
Very steady, no drama
Nice sausage, egg and chips for lunch

Back to Fortrose today, basically just used my Hybrid off the tee, struck the ball well so delighted, just couldn’t hole a putt 😂😂
Just after I booked a lesson as well!!

You're intimidating him. Play nicely

Played yesterday and a PP opens up with three birdies, he had 12 points after three holes. It was just majestic to watch. He said he had never even had three birdies in a round before. After that the wheels proper fell off. My first game in 3 weeks and I shot 30 points and o beat him. Had my first 2 this year. Hit a gorgeous hybrid 3 ft from the pin about 170 ish.

Played some of the best golf of my life today. Just went to my local course for a knock having not touched a club in two months. Turns out I’ve been playing the wrong shafts for a while. Picked up a set of Adams CB2s off eBay with stiff KBS 90s in, which were what I was fit for in AG after my driver fitting (in which I also graduated to stiff).

I loved my mizunos, soon to be in the for sale section, probably followed by the Adams as I’ll likely trade them in for Mizunos. Even though these are the old style proper forged clubs they still don’t feel mizuno soft. The difference in flight and control was night and day. I was lasering irons from everywhere. Can’t wait for next season to start!!!!

Par at the last, for a 76, lost two balls on 18

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Played nine, very poorly in the pouring rain. Felt distinctly under the weather before I started and worse once I was out there. Still not feeling 100% and suppose to be out tomorrow in the roll up. Massive 11 points for my nine and a bad dose of the lefts, going left. Managed to beat HawkeyeMS who only had 10 going out

 

[USER1999]

Lost today. Fair enough. Lost 3 balls in the leaves, annoying, and the shaft broke in my 5w, even more annoying. Expensive day.

How did the shaft snap. Raw power or did it meet an obstacle in its parth (intenionally or not)?

34 points with 4 x 3 putts

Played my second swindle at the club yesterday. As I won it the first time around I obviously got some stick, so it was good in a way that I was nowhere near winning it again.
Today however I played my best round so far at my new club, shooting 84 gross, which should’ve been at least 83 as I missed my par putt on the last hole from roughly 10 inches...

That single putt aside, the putting was really solid and I had also left my slice with the driver at home which was a pleaseant surprise.
