I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

Played a charity 4 ball scramble in absolutely bitter conditions.
The course was frozen all day!
We finished with a gross -4 to come second, we were beaten by one shot!
Sadly we were -4 after six, played the next eleven in +2 but an eagle on the last got us back to -4.
The greens were a bit of a lottery, but they were the same for everyone.
We had a laugh, that's the most important thing for me.

Also played today, cold but great to be out. Greens were absolutely fantastic, two weeks short of January and putting on fantastic surfaces is an incredible effort by the greens staff.

Course frozen solid yesterday, but still open. It was a total lottery and felt quite unsafe as well, I felt like I was slipping every time I hit a tee shot. We struggled on for 9 holes before agreeing it was a farce and giving up.

34 points for today's 17 hole comp. pretty pointless game today. Bitter cold, rain and a 2 club wind. Temp greens that were frozen as well made hitting greens impossible. Still, better than staying in bed, nice and warm with a hot coffee 😂

Got 12 holes in before the silly stuff arrived. blowing a gale and rain from the start. only me and my mate and one other group on the course.

Enjoyed the challenge. 3 over through 12. decent.

Played yesterday in 5-layers of clobber on a frozen solid course. It was a walk in a nice crisp and sunny but cold day - needless to say the golf was pure Mickey Mouse stuff with all of us relying on lucky bounces etc. Good news was our bounces were luckier than theirs and we won the dosh.

Clocks change in 6 days though...

Got to 9th today, couldn’t feel my chin or fingers so called it a day.
Horrendous weather here.

Played yesterday with a friend at his club, Shirley Park in Croydon and, despite the cold, I took a stroke of my previous best ever score. Shot a 93 (37 points) ... I know that, for many in here, that would be a disastrous round, but I was pretty chuffed.

 

[Hobbit]

Another win. 37pts. 19pts going out, with 3x 1pts, and 18pts back with a 1pt and a blob. Missed a few putts too. Felt like I'd stolen it.

Struggled through wind, rain and cold in winter league, all for a halve. For some reason had course to ourselves.

Played yesterday, no alcohol involved this time unfortunately 😳managed 28 points. Not too bad considering the conditions and the five layers of clothing I had on, as well as a scarf and woolly hat !!! Also hadn’t hid balls since my lesson so still trying to process that a little. Half the greens had been spiked with a “deep heave” so variable putting conditions

 

[patricks148]

played the Turkey Trot at Nairn Dunbar, first game in a week or so. was winter greens for some reason though it wasn't frosty. hit the ball well, but with the small holes they use on the WG I found it impossible to hole anything, even 1 foot puts either bounced over or were deflected some hilarious instances in our group .

one instance, one of my PP holed his 2nd shot on a par 5, but in the main green hole, took 4 to get down from there on the winter green 15 feet away.

off now till 4th Jan so will be playing every day for the next week, except CD

Lovely mild day today, only 2 temp greens on. Got battered in the Winter League, lad off 5 had 7 birdies, pleasure to watch, no complaints as I played really well, but Pars were no good.

 

[Dando]

Just played a little 9 hole par 3 with my future son in law while my other half was at a gender reveal and played ok. It was good to hit wedges more than I normally would and my chipping was pretty good.
Think I might play that more often instead of using the driving range.
I used a titleist avx that I stumbled across at RCP and thought it was a decent ball. Shall it’s so bloody expensive

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Weather was horrendous yesterday but after not playing for 2 weeks I was determined to give it a go. 40+ mph winds, hail and torrential rain certainly took its toll on the field with lots of no shows and players walking in so I thought my 22 points from the 14 holes was reasonable. 31 points won it which was pretty awesome considering the conditions.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Played early Wednesday. Well actually was first out. Very rusty after two weeks off but some good stuff in between the rusty bits. Felt fine until I got home and then wiped off my feet. Need to really get myself better and down the range as I've a full golfing diary planned over Christmas

 

[jim8flog]

Last seniors comp of the year today, sadly 4 temp greens and I dropped 3 shots on one of them. 37 points and finished 5th in Division.

Played the 'Christmas Comp' on Saturday. It was absolutely bloody freezing. Managed 33 points which I thought was bloody good going when you have no feeling in your right hand! Certainly the coldest round in a long time, I think it was between 1 and 2°c. Was only good enough for 7th in division 2. Hit driver brilliantly all the way round though which was nice.

Had a day off today so we had a friendly round at Bushey Hall. It's a course I find tough, and I hadn't managed to break 90 there before, but did it today with an 87. 38 points. Chipping was tricky due to the mud causing a few duffs, but other than that can't complain. And it felt toasty warm by comparison to Saturday, the luxury of 9°.

Good shooting and well done for breaking 90 in tricky conditions
