Can’t have been Dan then unless he stuttered his way through the conversation 🤣
I think I may have been out having a look at the course changes, I don’t get time to play much as I am way too busy 😱

Came in after 12 holes this morning... 40mph gusts and heavy showers meant the clubhouse was too appealing...hitting it nicely at the mo too...
The FJ padded jacket Mrs got me for my birthday is excellent...no wind gets though that!

Played my local course today. Intended to play 18 holes, but the 45mph winds forced me to change my mind. The 9 holes I played consisted of two blobs, two pars and some other bits and pieces. I ended up with 13 pts, which was better than I anticipated.

Played my third Saturday swindle since I became a member last month, and won it on 37 points. 2 wins out of 3. Getting really popular with the old boys.

I recall a conversation where you thought they’d made your handicap too low........

Well, in last weeks medal I managed to scrape together 26 points, so then it was absolutely to low!
But yeah, I’m like Dr Jekyll and mr Hyde with my golf at the moment. Highlight of the day though:
Par 4. Hook the tee shot out in the woods, bump it out onto the fairway. About 170 left with wind against so bring out the 5-iron and swing at it as hard as I can. Thin it so badly it feels like lightning going through my fingers and body. Massive pond between me and the hole and the ball skids twice on the water before ending up safe on the other side. Manage to salvage 1 point. The guy coming in with 36 points for second place did not enjoy that story as much as I did when I told him.

I played yesterday in the Christmas comp for the Saturday sweep.
One of our group sells costumes for Halloween etc and got every team the same festive hat, ours was a turkey, ala Monica in Friends, we got some strange looks around the course.
Not usually a drinker and certainly never on the course
, yesterday’s social competition was very enjoyable. There was a tab set up in the bar, Drambuie and bacon rolls the order of the day before we went out.
On probably 12 of the 18 tees a hip flask came out for a small libation. Tia Maria and vodka, Whisky and Drambuie and Whisky and ginger wine the drinks on offer.
This must be the way to play as I had 35 points despite thre blobs on the back nine and for the other 6 holes was only 1 over 😳. Won nearest the pin on 6th, two and a half feet from pin and our team won the team prize.
Weather really played ball, quite breezy, but when is it not at Gailes, and a light shower.
A three course lunch was set up in the main lounge with even more drink and everyone got a prize.
The bill was settled and the staff getting a generous Christmas tip.
Great day all round.
So Not sure what will happen first, single figures or becoming an alcoholic.

Buffered today - so an improvement over yesterday.
The weather didn’t improve, lashing rain and big nasty gusts of wind that seemed to constantly change direction.

Went out Saturday morning, luckily dodging the worst of the weather. Came in with 40 points, which was enough to take the Div 2 stableford prize and got a 0.6 cut down to 19.
Managed to keep the ball in play, which certainly helps (even though did nothing on the par 3's nearest the pins) - got a bit of luck on one hole, where I leaked the drive right. Luckily a tree helpfully headed the ball back into the fairway, short but safe.
Considering the ground was heavy, chipped & pitched fairly well and managed to bash a few putts close enough for gimme pars.
Onwards & upwards and all that

Today I learnt a lesson or should I say re-learnt an old lesson I got schooled in when I used to play before.
Only my 2nd game at new place and 3rd game this year and and 1st time ever putting Arccos into play and only 9 holes again before work.. Started lovely ripped a driver arrow straight & long (not forum long but long for my average length), hit a 54 degree to 15 feet just missed the birdie putt and made eays par.. Then I proceeded to leave any resemblance of a game of a long game behind me on that 1st hole! Only managed 1 more fairway and GIR in the remaining 8 holes. Had a nice consistent 2 way miss, yet chipped and putted my way to a score, the best example on the par 4 9th, took a hybrid off tee for safety hit a straight pull left into trees, managed to nudge it 80yards forward into fairway, then missed the green pin high right with a gap wedge but then chipped in for a par 4. Played the 9 holes in +3, with 6 pars and 3 bogeys. Guy I was playing with even said as we walked off if I figured out how to swing a club I could be half decent
I'd basically spent all 9 holes playing golf swing and not golf the game. Focusing how to swing and what to fix so wasn't just getting on with it.. Here's to next time when I swing well (hopefully) yet probably score crap
