Played a warm up match at Cooden today with my new mate George at the club. We've entered the winter pairs knockout and thought we'd get a bit of practice in.
Neither of us played as well as we know we can, but we had a decent match nonetheless.
Hit the turn with me two down, but I parred 10 and 11 to get it back to all square. George then went two up again and it stayed that way until the 17th. I won 17 with a bogey as I was receiving a shot and then won the 18th with a steady par. Course was in lovely condition, but a couple of the greens were really soft.

Walked in after 7 as I was playing like a knob.
Went on the range and it was fine ??‍♂️
Rather than come home I walked up to the first green and spent 45 mins chipping

Had an invite for a 'freebie' at Silverstone today. Played stableford from the yellows, some tees seemed forward a bit, greens slow but overall course in decent nick. Struggled off the tee early but generally just about keeping in play and irons were good. Tee play improved, and iron play if anything became sharper through a run of holes until messing up 15, and pulling approach on 18 oob - just to slap me back down :ROFLMAO: . 38 points though, enjoyed that.

Ok.. things are getting out of hand now....
76 shots, 37 points and another cut to 4.6...
:oops:
My lowest ever....:cool:

Quick recount...now 4.5..:eek:
CVG not too good with the calculations :p


Its all downhill from now Bro, its tough to go much lower, given your age (59) and your knees and ankles
I think you have now reached a plateau, (at a level most would kill to get to), but thats it, over the hill especially as you retire tomorrow

Youll play like Smiffy on Sunday and ill wup your butt you see

73 (+3) for 37 pts this morning in the stableford.

Naturally pleased - However, level par through 12, and finished bogey/bogey, somehow has taken the gloss off what is my 3rd best round of competition golf in my life.

Last day tomorrow to play the final of the Captains Prize MP knock out, my oppo had given me till the last day to allow me to recover from.my hand op to be able to play.

Had a game this morning and struggled to grip the club properly, was also well down on distance. Walked in after 12 holes as itvwas abundantly clear I wouldn't be competitive in any shape or for.
Emailed and conceded to my oppo when i got home.

Went to Wexham Park with the wife - we were booked at Oakland Park but they went to no buggies due to rain and she needs one now (preggers) - thankfully Wexham still allowed us to take one out. They are still rebuilding so it's a short par 65. Bit muddy and the grass was a bit long on the fairways.

Mixed bag, some good and some very bad. Trying to keep the little bit of wrist hinge I was working on at the range. Strike was pretty decent, however I didn't know which way it was going to go - half of them went left and half went right. Not exactly very playable. Luckily my chipping and putting was pretty good, which made the score look more respectable than it deserved to be. Even got up and down from bunkers twice which is extremely rare for me. 81 for 33 points in the end. Seven pars but three doubles and one miserable treble on a long par 3.

Wife played ok, just a handful of poor holes and she struggled with the mud and grassy lies. Improved as she went along though, 11 points out and 20 in for 31 (off of 45).

NR today after losing a ball up a tree on the 9th. Couldn’t be bothered to walk back and hit another as I was 5 over at the time. Mainly due to a quadruple 8 on the sixth. I then proceeded to play the back nine in 2 under. Highlight being the birdie 2 on 15. Five iron, ball pitched 6 inches behind the flag and finished 2 inches in front of the hole. The wait for a hole in one continues.

Stableford today and we thought we were going to get the best of the weather.....:unsure:
Got blown away on the front 9 having started with a birdie the winds ripped up and the rain howled down
It was nasty, really nasty..
7 over on the front 9 for just 13 points..
Started the back,9 with a bogey but a couple of birdies and another bogey to shoot level par and 21 points.
34 barely gets me 10th place but I did have a 2 and.......another cut to 4.3....:eek:
Fragger did OK too..a good back 9 saw him to 34 as well and probably 4th in his division

Divs 1 and 2 both won with 42 points...I'd have had to shoot 1 under gross to match that....but they're genuine players so happy to se them cut?
