Day 5 at Île Aux Cerfs. Front nine here is tough, echoed in my 47 out. The rain came big time around the 12th, but maybe it was more like playing at home, as it helped me to a cracking 38 for the back nine. Despite getting soaked to the bone, thoroughly enjoyed it out there today….. last round tomorrow. ??

Isn’t it just a crazy old game, everything went way left. I was +5 through 15 holes yesterday and today I was +5 through three! Absolutely dreadful start, the first four holes I had quite the brain fog. +7 through 4 but was steady from there on, finishing +12 total +1 nett. Fairway and green stats were junk.

Drove the par 4 13th green and a nice 2 putt birdie, great up and down on 16 for another birdie.

Had a trip over to Knowle today... played nicely. Interesting course in the middle of the Bristol. Greens were a bit "early season " but otherwise well worth the visit.

Nice folk in clubhouse too

Social round with the usual crowd yesterday. Skied my first tee shot leading me to believe it was going to be one of those days, well it was, parred the hole and went on to score 45 points playing off 17. Highest points total in over 30 years of playing. Stableford competition next week, I bet it will be a different story!

Funny old day today.
Mostly sunshine, always cold.
Some snowy squalls.
A constant wind with some very fierce gusts.
33 points with 4 blobs and no 1 pointers.
Finished with a pint of Guinness and cigar in a lovely snow shower!
A great day all round.

Bet there was some "bantz". Did you take the cash? Great to score a PB. Well played

Got out for 11 holes after the littlun went down. Took the 90s blades and Titleist 975d and 975f as well to give them a first go on the course for the summer.

First 5 holes I had the wind and was striping it, long and straight - golf was easy - was 1 over after 6 thanks to a silly 3 putt on 3.

Then turned into the wind and suddenly my drives that were going 270 ish were barely getting over 220, not ideal going up the 2 longest par 4s on the course.

Ended up with 21pts through the 11 holes so not bad.

On the plus side I was off the summer tees which have all been levelled and relaid and there were new flags, and cups in the holes. Course is coming together nicely for Sunday for the captains drive.

My winnings totalled £3.50 and a two shot cut for the next two social rounds!!

Well match 2 in 2 weeks against the old man! 9 Holes again in the evening sun!

Both started poorly, halving the first 2 holes in bogeys.

Dad went 1 up at 3 with a solid par

Halved 4, 5 and 6 - I really should have won two of them but 3 putted twice (Dads smiling face after I miss is something to behold )

7th (SI 1) the hammer goes down and dad is blown out of the water - all square

8th - tough hole to par but a heroic chip and putt had me 1 up going into the 9th and final hole

9th - 2 duffed chips for me and my dad makes par.... All square to finish!

Sounds like you've bottled that. Sure you're not a Spurs fan?

Oh I absolutely did yeah!

Pick any of the below excuses, theyre all valid :

Greens arent consistent at the moment, been spiked and sanded
Im not playing as much golf at the moment
Its been over 8 days since I last played
Generally just poo at golf

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Off to hit some balls and play a few holes. Got my layers on again but also going to break in one of my new pairs of shoes

Parred our SI1 hole for the first time yesterday. It's a real tough straight, semi-narrow, up-hill 420 yard par4. Usually bogey or DB this hole every time without fail.

Hit a pretty poor drive, 217Y into the rough on the left, then the most pure 6I up-hill 197 yards within about 10ft of the pin. Two putted for a par.
Was hitting my irons ridiculously well yesterday - too well. Came off the 3rd with a bogey considering I flew through the green with a 185 9 iron! Bryson I'm coming for you.

Good playing. Every time you can tick a tough par off is good and you know going forward you can do it

Are you usually a long hitter? What made you hit a 9 iron from 185?

First game for 12 days since testing positive for Covid.

Still a bit weak and the snow flurries on the second and third holes didn't help but I'd put a scarf on and four layers.

Managed 12 holes for 22 points but consecutive birdies masked two blobbed holes.

I wasn’t 185 out, I was 140 ? flew 40 yards past the green. But yes I am quite a big hitter.

Played in the swindle yesterday. Absolutely Baltic nd could not feel my fingers for the first few holes. First time we were fully off the mats this year so we could put cards in through WHS. Quite a few of us played and the scores were not great, the best being 36. I had 35. I was expecting my index to go up as I was losing one of my counting scores from last year. However, I looks at WHS this morning and was surprised to see that I had been cut 0.1. PCC had gone up by 3. On the downside, I 4 putted the 1st green again. That’s twice in a row now.

Played today in the first knockout stage of Winter Match Play. I was lowest handicap and gave 2 and 6 shots respectively, my partner getting 11 shots.

Got slaughtered, losing 6&5. We weren't at the races really but they both played very well.
