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

First time out on the course for about 6-7 weeks. Hope's were not high particularly after heavy overnight rain. Anyway, very enjoyable 9 holes, my choice just to play 9. Driving went surprisingly well, as did short irons. Hybrids were disappointingly awful.

I have 3 x 30 minute lessons from Christmas and one of those will definitely go on that particularly club. I need it to work better than I get it to right now.

Played with 3 new faces. Friendly guys, lovely golfers as well.

A seven wood may be your answer, ever thought about one?

I had one, sold it last year after 18 months of trying with it ?.

The problem is me, how I swing with these types of clubs. Some days, rare, it is wonderful but too often it is random. I need to pin down a method of playing with them as I need a decent second shot with some distance on it. I swing too slowly for long irons and hybrids, when hit correctly ?, are the answer. I just need a bit of help, okay maybe more than a bit ?

Saturday roll-up played on a course which is as muddy as I have ever seen it. Some of the tees were way back to protect the usual daily tees meaning we were playing almost a full length course.

Consequently I was really pleased with 35 points. The new driver is working really well and I putted as well as I have in a long time, missing nothing from within 6 feet.

Always nice to get out this time of year, especially good to do so when playing some decent golf.

Another nice morning on the moray firth. Played the medal at Nairn Dunbar, hit it ok , but couldn't hole anything for toffee. Good company even if the golf wasn't great.

First time out since new years eve. 2 range sessions in that time. Hit it poorly on thur night so wasnt expecting much.
Came out of the traps flying. Was 3 under through 6 holes and very much in waters I dont tend to swim in too often.
Chucked two away on the 7th. Back to level after the 9th.
1under again after 14. Dropped 4 in the last 4 to finish 3 over. Double on the last to rub some salt in the wound.
Not one bit bothered. Great to be back playing my home course and exceeded my expectations heading out.

39 points in today’s stable ford. A 4 put double bogey on the the 5th didn’t go down well. Bit of frost on the greens 1st thing plus them being cut yesterday made them really fast.

Took the youth round our shorter course for a fun knock, and he's beaten me off the stick end over 18 holes. Could have at least waited three weeks until he's turned into a teenager.

The 44 putts I had didn't help.

He also wants my 3 wood.....
Bloody kids.

Only the 39 points today.

Finally made a birdie on the 1st so it’s just the 8th left then I’ve done them all.

Hit some lovely irons including my driving iron as the woods stayed at home

Joined in the swindle, playing off 9, not 11. Par'd 1st, bogey'd 2nd and then it all went to pot, including playing the wrong ball on a hole after hitting an incredible 2nd shot to 3 foot! ??‍, although I did manage a birdie on the 7th, a 20ft putt down a two tier green 12 points at the turn, and 1 down in the match.

Then, I have no idea what happened, but I played the back 9 in level par gross. LEVEL PAR! 22 points, and birdie, par, birdie (!) to finish meant we went from 2 down with three to play and losing dormie 3 overall to winning the back nine and halving the match!

No-one beat 22 on the back nine, so a nice £12 win and a cut to 8 too. Happy days.

15 hole Pro comp and played with 3 lads I've not played with before and we had a great battle losing out by 2 points. Greens had been ironed and were quite frankly absolutely amazing , more of a speed you'd associate with April.
One year in with the new Course manager and his desire to keep us on main greens all year is a breath of fresh air

Played himself this afternoon
14 extreme weather holes (temp greens on the edge of the green, front)
Wupped him 34-27 with 3 blobs (so 34 points then) ?

3 pars - 2 on 2 shot holes (yes I know)
Left so many out there it’s not true.

First full 18 since December ??

Is he booked in for counselling?

Tbh it was his first full 18 since December too, he has had knee probs, so I think he was just happy to make it round, even if he did get his backside handed to him on a plate today
- meant in a caring way -?

Fragger - you're suffering from Conversational Gonads........

Nice little slap in the swindle today, 37 points with a sloppy 6th and 12th but I’ll take it. First day with the new driver in the bag but not sure it’s going to stay in there yet. More testing required

 

[HomecountiesJohn]

I had a lovely stroll round this morning with 2 pals I’ve not played with for a while, 75 blows which included 4x3 putts.

A good workman never blames his tools!

Yeah, they stop using them and start using a driving iron...! ?

Especially as he can choose those he plays with…??
