Played in our swindle today. 18 out and 18 back for 36 points. Winning score was 41. To win, I would have required a gross 6 under? On the plus side, the greens have just become really good.

Guy who went rounds ours 5 under on Saturday was 12th in the comp...
Only 2 players above him didn't have the dreaded blob on the card although 1 of the the 2 had a 10 on his card

Certainly is, WHS has done the low handicappers no favours at Silloth unless you can knock a few shots off the course record.
I know that if we could play general play rounds off the white or blue tees many low handicappers wouldn't bother with comps.

Testing, blustery conditions today..wind moving from 0-30 quicker than a Ferrari...
Started ok, a couple of silly doubles on the front but turned 3 over with back to back birdies on 8 and 9
Back 9 and the wind kicked up even more
Played really well to finish 4 over (75) which has cut me down to 6.1...just in time for a big comp on Sunday - lose my shot on our 5th..
Still..8 birdies in my last 2 rounds which is unusual as I don't tend to get more than 1 or 2....

Was it a par-3?

Was it a par-3?
Par 5, wind behind, hit a great drive, then carved my 2nd into a ditch, so took stroke and distance and rehit to 8 feet from the hole, holed the putt for a par 5

So glad it wasn't a par-3. I've seen it done. It was in a comp. OOB then in the hole. Chap was gutted. He still hasn't had a hole-in-one.

If I'd gone OOB on a par three, there's no way I'd aim anywhere near the hole for my next shot!

Well it depends on format, if you are playing stableford and you don’t get a shot, then you need to get down in 2 to score, so you might as well go for it.
Medal be a different kettle of fish ?

No, I would just aim away from the hole.
Holing my second tee shot would just be unbearable, having not yet had a hole-in-one.

But not as unbearable as Liverpool winning the Premier League again...
First comp at my new club. Different shots required, a very different test. Greens were quite superb, slick and fast. I need to become a better putter to score well, oh and chip tighter. Not much then ?. Very enjoyable though, bring on the rest of the season.

Last night: Wife is still mad keen at the moment so we went for another nine holes, this time Nine of Herts. I hit some bloody awful shots to be honest. After two holes I was worried she was going to beat me in gross scoring! But she had a couple of mares on the 5th and 6th unfortunately (thankfully). I ended up with 40 for 17 points somehow (honestly felt much worse than that), and she shot 56 for 19 points which was pretty good despite three poor holes.
Today: Rubbish again. Well you could say it was a game of three halves... First 5 holes were ok (one par four bogeys), the next 6 were horrendous (two triples, two doubles, two bogeys), then on the 12th I hit a cracking 5 wood onto the green which seemed to bring the half decent golf back again. Ended up parring 13, 14 & 16. Ended on 88 for 31 points. All the damage done on that middle stretch. Still, at least it was shorts and t-shirt weather.

First medal of the year and I shot a very satisfying 6 over CR gross 78, nett 66. Won’t win medal overall as a lad off 23 hcap shot a nett 62 (it’s been coming and about time so pleased for him), but will win our Div 1. And I had a nice 2 with me in the 2s sweep. All good as follow-up to winning the Winter singles K/O Cup Monday just past. Must be doing something right ?

Saturday roll up. Warmed up perfectly but struggled to get going but battled back for 35 points and manged a small tickle for coming second and a one shot handicap cut for the next 3 weeks. Missed the first prize by a single shot

Shot 82, two under my handicap. For the second time in a week.
Sadly, a bunker on the par 5 3rd which had virtually no sand in it meant a 7 not a 5 on the card. Could have been so much better, but I scrambled well and holed some very lengthy putts.
