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

First card (supplimental) since Aug 2019.
42 out, 45 back (Par 70)
Nice to be able play to handicap and gives me the confidence to start entering the comps ?
 
My golf is really frustrating at the moment. In a rollup of 24 of us I came 2nd with a tidy 38pts and 7 over par. But in there I hit 6 really, really poor shots - one on each of six holes - from really good positions, that I wasn’t able to recover for pars. That said I kept a 6 or worse off my card and that’s a rare thing for me. So a real curates egg.

If I could only eliminate the complete mess ups I could be a half decent golfer. I think that I know the root cause, but can’t get on top of it. Meanwhile I have to be grateful and thankful for what I’ve got and can do, and work on the fault that is causing my mess ups.
 
Shot 84 (on par 71) for the first time and for my lowest score to date (current handicap 18.8)! I shot 94 yesterday and couldn't hit a thing, somehow managed to fix it today and still feel like I let 4/5 shots out there...

Played ok today until 14th.
Hit in the bunker and some dick had obviously played two shots out.
There was two massive craters in the bunker and my ball was in one.
Thing is he had raked his footprints but just left the craters from his shot.
Cost me a double.
It’s not hard to rake a bunker just poor from this member.

This seems to happen a lot at our place and really annoys me. Just pure laziness and couldn’t give a ? attitude.
 
Played Ipswich yesterday. Great course, poor golf. Shot 88. ?

Other than 2 poor shots, once again my driving was good, but my irons were awful. Really awful.

Putting was hard due to how slow the greens were which cost a few shots.

It would be hard to find a better course to play for £65 on a Saturday afternoon.
 
Played the Cawder-Annan trophy yesterday..at least a 4 club wind. Played well the front 9 with one over. Was lever through 10,11 and 12. Hit a great drive on 13 and only hit a 6 iron for my 2nd, which I absolutely flushed. Though the back in the deep crap. Too 4 to get down from there, then the wheels cam off and completely blew the next 4 holes, though 17 was a huge stroke of bad luck. Only hit wedge from 150, though the back and lost. Signed for an 81 gross. Shocking back 9 on a day set up to hit a good score on the back ☹️
 
Should’ve played 18 but the 5 ball (visitors) in front were ? so the first 9 took over 2 hours so missed my 2nd tee time by so way.
Said 5 ball kicked off on the 9th as I hit the green with a 5 iron - it was playing 235 yards and they wanted a fight in the car park.
To make things worse one of the 5 had a “man” bun ???

Did they book as a 3 and a 2 then join up or did your club let them book in as a 5 ball?
 
Went to the Aldenham 9 hole course with wife and my mate (29 cap). It's a short course but very tight in places, heavily tree-lined. Unfortunately I had three double bogeys on par 4s, all caused by tree trouble really. Short game was pretty decent as it was yesterday. Managed 3 pars and shot 42 for 16 points. Wife was hitting her woods really well, just a little trouble with pushing it on the tee shots, but she scored 57 for 16 points. Bandit mate managed 46 for 19, only blobbing the 8th or it would have been better still.
 
Pars on 1-6, then birdied 7&8 to go -2, bad alignment off the tee on 9 meant I had to chip out and made a bogey, happy with -1 front nine. Chipped in on 12 to go back to -2, but then doubled 13 after a poor drive, played the sensible shot out, but under hit my pitch and then left my putt in the jaws..... Par's on 14-17, (with a couple of good par saving putts), meant I was level on the 18th tee - pulled my tee shot, but not too bad a spot, I'm then not sure what happened as I duffed my 9i into the ditch, ended up with a 7!

Happy with a 74, but very much what could have been, that was my best chance at an under par round.
 
Captains Charity Open at Shifnal and came 3rd with 89 , 2 from 4 to count ?
Yesterday's Texas Scramble was won by 4 young lads with 48 ?. It was all 4 to play all shots and they had 4 gross eagles in their 23 under ,they had 4 shots . Team that had 16 shots who won last one with a 55 had 61 ,so complete turnaround ?
 
Seniors Open at Effingham today. Got here a bit early for my 09.26 tee off, but where the M25 is concerned you can't take any chances...
Never played here before, but if the clubhouse is anything to go by it should be a jolly good day.
 
35 points with so many mistakes again. Stupid, stupid errors. Wedge in hand, should easily hit the green. Nope. Stuff it in bunker, get out easily enough and then three putt from ten feet. How to turn three points into one...???????
Lovely course though, greens and tees probably the best I've seen this year.
