A PB of 90 for me today, 50 on the way out and 40 on the way in for 41 points. Nearly packed it in after 9 as the weather was terrible, glad I didnt! Can't grumble with a PB but no idea what changed technically halfway round but all of a sudden drives were straighter, approach shots hit greens and putting remained steady. It's a funny game!

If Carlsberg (other lagers are available) did Saturdays.....

Won the Saturday roll up order of merit (best 10 scores over the year - averaging 37.3 points over a mix of white and yellow tees). We had 50 people playing this year across the year so a bigger turn out than ever before
Won the roll up group money list as well. With £3 a man we played for over £1500 and this was split between 31 players so it was nicely spread out across a range of handicap from scratch to 29
The Saturday roll up group were challenged to a match by another Saturday roll up group. We had a trophy to play for and like us have an order of merit so it was the top 16 from each group, playing four ball better ball. We won 5.5 to 2.5 to win the inaugural playing and the trophy. Dufferman played as well and won his match
I managed to win my match leading from the front and scored 41 points from 16 holes (1 blob and we walked in on 18 as the rain became torrential and we had won the match)

May not mean much to most but a very satisfying day

 

[Slab]

Played 18 this morning with some mates

27 putts total with just 11 putts on front nine (no hole-outs from off the green either)
Mostly due to one of those days where you're chipping on to a lot of greens, which obviously gives a better chance of a one-putt, but still have to be holed, one 3-putt treble to spoil the card

But still only scored 4 over nett, crazy game!

 

[BrianM]

Decided to go out for 10, first hit this year and in about 8 - 10 weeks.
Hit it beautifully, winter greens so picked up as soon as I was on green, wasn’t more than 3 shots to every green.
Was not expecting it to go so well.
Supposed to be playing Fortrose on Friday so hopefully this will continue ?

 

[Imurg]

Out this morning and just found everything difficult....Still nursing the knee a bit but didn't feel comfortable over many shots at all.
The 30mph biting wind may have had something to do with it I suppose....
Biblical rain forecast tomorrow so not venturing out and it may mean carry only on Wednesday......not carrying again until the knee is right..

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Back 9 in the pouring rain.
+7 with 3 doubles… ?
putting was impossible due to a very shallow layer of water on most greens
On 17 I decided a 50* wedge with a slightly open face was a better play and parred it ??
18 was brutal, heavens opened - some hail too… 440 uphill into 30mph wind. Green was unplayable so 3 putt double

Roll on summer!

Seniors Stableford, playing the 1973 Dunlop Peter Thomson set, scored 34 points off 95% for fourth place on a tough scoring day, first was 36 points.

Should have done better but two three-putts from the sort of distance where you shouldn't three-putt and three big shanks didn't help.

 

[Dando]

had a 9 hole outing and went round in 37 for 22 points.

2 birdies thanks to decent chip and runs - i can do it!

although the fairways were like bogs, the greens were in really condition.

got a pairs better ball on saturday so no doubt I'll play like a complete knob

 

[chrisd]

A friendly pairs matchplay today, no shots given and fairly wet under foot. Only missed 3 fairways with the driver ! I hope that can continue into the spring

 

[upsidedown]

12 hardy souls ventured out for 13 holes before the rain set in. 2 from 4 to count and won with team score of 67 points and 29 for myself , who said winter golf was hard

 

[Imurg]

Getting more than a bit fed up of this wind and rain.....its making golf hard work.
Another 16 holes today..we'd both had enough of the 30mph winds and a mini breakfast was too enticing.
The greens have been spiked so putting was a lottery..
Came away with 3p points from the 16 holes...no blobs but no birdies.
Generally played OK.
A little surprised that trolleys were allowed after the rain on Tuesday....loads of rain this afternoon, more due all day tomorrow...
50:50 for Friday.....

 

[patricks148]

Had a game this morning, strong cold breeze which was hard going on the first 7, bogeyed those. But was better once I'd warmed up?

 

[Crow]

Played this morning with the Dunlop Peter Thomson set that I used on Monday to score well with, bar three shocking shanks.

Today was the worst I can remember playing!
Started off okay with a bogey, par but then the shanks kicked in big time, and I just could not find my putting pace.
7 points out, 8 back for a 15 point total...

I also had some of the worst lies going, I know that this was in part down to me not finding fairways but even so.

 

[RichA]

Wasn't keeping score today but probably shot mid-90s in very windy conditions. That 90-something included 3 birdies on the front 9. ?

 

[Billysboots]

Very windy, wet underfoot but struck the ball really well again. 37 points and should have been 2/3 better. I’m swinging with much better tempo than before the recent layoff and finding fairways as a result. And I think my driver clearly knows I’ve a new one on order as it’s now behaving impeccably ?

 

[BrianM]

96 today with 42 putts ??????
Tee to green decent enough ?

 

[Billysboots]

Wet, wet, wet. 9 holes and a full English. In 20 years as a member at ours I have never seen it so wet underfoot. I’m staggered that it’s even open.

It’ll take a couple of days for my kit to dry out.

Lovely on the heath on friday. Sunny, with a reasonable breeze. First game in six weeks and good to be back playing with mates again. Forgotten how good sausage rolls in halfway hut are !

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Day was lovely yesterday but chose to not play, going to have to be in my head today as course is closed again ??
