Well played Fragger.
I need to pull my socks up by H4H - arriving at a forum meet with a handicap higher than Fragger, how could I live that down! ?

several courses closed round here yesterday but we were open for Captain's charity open I had another good day, started on the 18th, shotgun start, which I bogeyed, then played the front nine is level, one birdie, one bogey. not quite as good on the back but stood on the 17th tee needing a par for a 5 over 77, hit a good drive and nice second but when I got to the ball it was on a nasty downhill hanging lie only knocked it forward about 20 yards then missed the green with my 4th had a long putt for a bogey 6, knocked it way past and missed the return, triple bogey 8 for a gross 80.

Played last night for the handicap team in a brutal 30mph wind with gusts of 40 plus.
Stood over my ball on the 6th green and the ball was wobbling in the wind.
My partner and i played poorly really but despite being dormie 2 on the 17th tee we managed to win the final 2 holes to halve the match.
On the 17th green I had miscounted the number of shots their guy had taken so thought I had a putt to halve it and we'd therefore lose the match. So when my partner missed his par putt I nonchalantly knocked in a slippery 6 footer (literally one foot forward, not even looking at the ball) for the par.
My partner couldn't believe I'd just done it, I thought he was going to have a heart attack ?.

Played at Moor Allerton today, what a great course, really enjoyed it, golf wasn't bad but I didn't get the bounces today.
Which loops did you play? I think 10-18 are fabulous, the stand out 9. I can't decide which other 9 I prefer after that, i haven't played it often enough to say.

Played in the monthly medal last night and although I didn't post my best score ever from the whites I had my best round ever. Shot 74 (had a 73 a couple of weeks ago) so my fine form is continuing. That 74 included a disastrous 10 on hole 8 where I didn't even lose a ball. I was -2 for the other 17 holes. Score gets adjusted to 71 for handicap purposes. Some great scores last night so even with a net 68 I finished 6th and out of the money for the competition. Winner and runner both up had a net 62 (26 handicap and 19 handicap for those that watch these kind of things).
Came back in 33 (par 35) so my first ever under par back 9 at our place. Over the round I had an eagle, 4 birdies, 4 bogies and a 10. Mental round. I didn't even start that well, I was 3 over after 5 then from 6 on I started finding the middle of the face on nearly every shot. Eagled the 6th after a drive and 3 hybrid to about 8 foot and just kept playing well from there.
So the 71 gave me a differential of -0.1 and I've been cut to 4.5, just 0.1 from my target now. 6 weeks ago I was thinking of selling my gear on eBay it was that bad. Stupid game.

Had a tie this morning against a retired GP nice guy, very very steady off the tee and a good putter. Gave him 9 shots which meant he got 5 shots in the first 7 holes. I played pretty well, but didn't hole any of my birdie putts on the first 2 holes, but won the 3rd, 5 to get back
to AQ. Lost 7th with a shot after he holes a 20 fter for par and I missed my 5ft birdie. Managed to get 3 up though 8,9,10 and 11. Managed a half on 12th with a par against play with his shot. Lost 13 with a par with a shot and hit a poor tee shot on 14 cost me that as well. Hit back with a birdie on 15, lost 16 with a par with his 4 with a shot, halfed 17 and 18 to win one up. So noe innthe semis of both singles match players.

4 birdies and a single bogey for a nice little 69.
Best round of the season to date, just a shame we didn't put a card in ?

Played Farnham today on a reciprocal. Course in lovely condition, and very green. Well worth a game if you are in the area. Got stuffed, fourball better ball, 5 and 4 despite getting 35 points individually.

We had an exchange day today and so played our weekly comp at Withington, it is a pretty much flat course except for the first green/2nd tee. It is 300yds longer than ours and the fairways are all tree lined, CR is par +0.9 and slope 135 so rated for me over 2 shots more difficult than Ellesmere.
Happy to report I was very straight off the tee and bar a couple of iffy shots and chips, both on the same 2 holes, I played very well and finished with 36 points, almost a full shot better than handicap.
The one pain was it is not easy to play a comp on an away course and have it as a qualifying comp, i did register for a GP round for myself but that wasn't the easiest thing to do and now I am waiting for the person who marked my card to confirm my score

Played OK but knew I’d scored poorly front 9; didn’t tot up points after 9 and asked my marker to not tell me as I wanted to put it behind me; proceeded to blob 10th but didn’t obsess over that as it didn’t compound an unknown misery that was my front 9 score (if you get my drift); then scored 20pts over remaining 8 holes.
At end my marker told me I’d scored 13pts front 9…as I actually hadn’t even bothered guessing. Interesting that not knowing my score for 9 meant I wasn’t that fussed about blobbing 10th and with that clearer head I went on to play and score well.

77/+6 with two doubles, and back-to-back bogies with just 50yds left for my second, from the middle of the fairway
Slight tweak in the swing from last week's lesson starting to pay off. If I can cut out the doubles, and tighten up the short game, I might have a low one in me, index creeping down too, which is nice.

I grew up playing at Moor Allerton. They seem to have put in a rule that 18 holes are 1 - 18, and if you want to play 9 the int's 19-27. It's a shame, as I think the best routing is 1-9 & 19-27. Glad you enjoyed it.
You don't think 10-18 are the stand out holes?
I can't remember 1-9 but I found 19-27 to be okay but not more than that. Certainly not after 10-18.
