41 points but not enough to win today's swindle, got done on countback (22 to my 20).

Dont think I've hit as many fairways in a round before.

What with the football, a very enjoyable Sunday.

December medal, shot 83. Was grinding away so hard making pars until the last 3 holes where I dropped 5 shots.

Ah well.

What a lovely day to be out on the heath. Mild, bit of breeze, and decent run on the ball. We have had some new drainage put in our fifth hole, which usually is the wettest on the course. Lovely and dry despite all the rain we have had.

Never seen one of the roads near my house completely flooded. Wasn't the best idea to hit the flood at speed, and have a bow wave go over my bonnet.

No golf today as still not feeling 100% but wandered to the club for a lunchtime drink with the usual crowd and watch the football. Tough school this morning and 38 points won. We have a winners bitch who gets all the drinks for the players (only 18 out today so a small field). Losing score was 24 points so I reckon I could have got more than that even feeling crap. No golf next weekend so worried how I'll play without two weeks of playing. Might have to hit the range hard to keep what I had working. I was hitting the ball well recently. Need to find a short game again

I played 2 holes this morning, game cancelled due to weather and sickness so I popped to the club to just have a hit with the new shineys. Went down the 1st then up the 9th and walked back down the 9th various distances and hit to the green from 165 yards to about 100 yards and I repeated this about 6 times each with 5 balls. Really liked the feel if the clubs and generally the dispersion was good

Roll on 18 holes!

Can you manage 18? How come this morning was cancelled for sickness? I assume your PP's were unwell or did they see the weather forecast first?

One players daughter was sick all night and he's a doctor and thought it better to cry off to be with her. MashleyR7 was joining us but cried off as it was still drizzling and the other player and I decided not to bother.

Back almost recovered and starting to swing more normally, went for 9 holes, soaked due to the 10% chance of rain coming in on 7,8,9, finished with birdie and eagle off forward winter tees, which was a nice way to finish, maybe I should play more in the rain

December medal. .1 cut

 

[Papas1982]

First winter medal for me and it got cancelled mid round all because a few people were to soft to put up with the weather!

18 started, 15 finished but they cancel it.

Frustrating as I hit 85 (off 17) and my pp hit a 2!

 

[USER1999]

Played well this morning, 35 points (with2 blobs ).

so, that will be 35 points then.

 

[Patster1969]

Played Saturday morning. 39 points but no cut
Bit wet after all of the rain on Friday night and was still raining when we started. That cleared after about 5 holes to be replaced by a stiffish breeze but not too bad. Managed to keep any disaster holes off my card and hit the driver relatively well - slightly let down by hitting 2nd shots slightly heavy & 20 yards short of the green, which meant 3rd shot was usually a chip/pitch but to be expected with the ground being slightly heavy going. Need to clip them off the turf, whereas I was catching the group just before the ball.
Overall, relatively happy - topped div 2 but not a big field this week, I got my money back though

Played the monthly Stableford on Saturday, in pretty miserable drizzly conditions. Poor front nine full of double bogeys. Better back nine including one birdie, finished on 32 points (12 front, 20 back). Disappointing, I made 6s on the first six par 4s. Not good enough.

Handed the card in, club were willing to take it as a supplementary as I’d obviousky started the wrong with the intention of it counting towards handicap. Now down to 16.1.

Small steps.

Lodge course at Enville in a Tee Tour event. Drove over in glorious sunshine but got frostier the closer we got and then it clouded over so was a tad chilly. Played ok , nothing great , hitting greens in reg and tap in pars . Did come across a couple of cows on the 11th so rang the Pro shop to let them know

The competition should have been closed with the completed rounds going towards HC as you completed a round in qualifying conditions - the committee can abandon the Comp but with all completed roundabout processes

They sent the starter round telling us it had been cancelled. Popped into pro shop before leaving and nobody had handed a card in......

Unfortunately p#@% up and brewery come to mind at this place. New owners since June and so far they seem to have cut corners, I swear 3 bunkers have masonry sand in, but hey at least membership fees have only gone up 20% next year.

All 7 guys I regularly play with are leaving. I may follow em, which will be disappointing. The club is minutes away but just not sure I wanna pay 1100for the privilege anymore. 5 days at Princes for an extra 400 seems appealing!

Which club is that, if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Papas1982]

Broome Park.

I keep telling myself that the fact it’s so close by is why I should stay, and they’ve been grand with me taking my daughter over for a few holes over summer. But the social part has just walked out the door so to speak.
