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

[shortgame]

Very poor front 9 in 14 points. Was very rushed and took a while to settle. Much better back 9 with 22 points so decent knock overall and good enough to take the cash.

First game under the new rules, will post my thoughts later

Just a quick 9 today as I'm still recovering from the flu over Christmas. Played fairly steady to finish on 2 over gross. Only missed 2 GIR.
The only issue was some fairly inconsistent gapping at the top end of the bag. The 50* wedge is going the same distance as my PW. I might have to bend the CB's 2* stronger to maintain the gaps.

36pts today. Double bogied 17 & 18. 2 0ver par quickly became 6 over par. There was 2x 3 putts elsewhere in the round too. Scruffy round again.

Good start to the new year, cruised round hitting it pretty well (except off the tee) to bring home 41 points, giving me a lovely cut of -2. Really could have got a few more points out there, the driver really REALLY did not perform.

Enjoyed the new rules looking forward to seeing how they bed in.

New Year's Pairs Shotgun, started on the 10th and off to flyer 5 under after 6 holes, stalled a bit around the turn but then rallied again to finish on 11 under , 47 points for 3rd on C/B.
Birdied our 3 par 5's and two other birdies with three bogies for a 2 under par 69

Well I posted last week that I shot my first level par round of 72. Today I went even better, managed a -3 gross 69!

I was at the same point as last week after 13 (-2) but managed to go bogey, birdie, par, birdie to finish! Scorecard here: https://i.postimg.cc/mkKZnZxC/IMG-1750.png

Wow, that’s some scoring off 9, great work! Were they qualifiers or just bounce games? If the former you’ll be in for a significant chop.

Thanks!

Competitions but not qualifiers. We go down to 14 hole team comps in the winter to allow more people to play. Myself and another player from our group carried on for 18. I did finish out every hole though, as obviously my scoring for our team was high 😂

We are playing a short course but it’s normal greens and only 2 significantly further forward tees. Everything else is around the same length just off mats or spare tee boxes.

Tough out there today.
Very cold and windy for the monthly stableford.

34points to buffer, 19 out with one blob and 15 back with two.

Over 70 entries and think I counted 22 who buffered or had a cut, so over 50 getting .1 back

 

[Lump]

First bat out with the new woods. Smashing them on the range, felt good over the ball on the first tee........and first hit was a stone cold top 😵. Only went about 100yrds into the tree’s.
Followed up with a superb banana cut 4iron back into the fairway, a solid 7 iron into the heart of the green and a 25ft putt for par. Hate to love in one hole.
Verdict on driver is 👍, still not sure on the 3 wood. Might buy the 5 wood as I’ve always felt more at home with one.

Played my first proper football match today after a 4 month injury layoff, MotM performance and helped us to a 3-1 victory over 3rd in the league.
Not golf but who cares

Early rise 5.40am to get to the course, Played 18 in morning, played solid, wife & son hacked it, ending up winning 11 holes to 1 for wife and 0 for son, proper mauling for them

In for lunch, son wanted to play again, back out, I was 4 up after 5, all square after 18, lost on extra holes to him but great match, he shot his handicap over the 24 holes this afternoon, so ended up played 42 holes in total feeling sore and old !!!

Played our clubs new year event. Open to men and women, but annoyingly designated as a non-qualifier. Felt I swung the club really badly warming up. Had the lefts all day and pulling all my irons but pitched, chipped and putted brilliantly. Looks like my hard work has started to pay off (kiss off death for tomorrow). Managed to finish third on 37 (CSS for the yellow being 69) and so would have had a cut to start the year. Still, only three of top spot having hooked OOB on 17 but a lovely 20 footer for birdie on the last. Very happy Homer

Played yesterday in our Saturday morning sweep. Original game of two halves, out in three over for 23 points 😀 2 birdies, 2 pars and 5 bogeys. Only 13 points on the way back for 36. Had makeable putts on the last 4 greens, so could have been a bit better. Happy with 36 points but disappointed as it could have been better. However after 38 points on Thursday really please with how my golf is progressing. Short game starting to be more consistent, so need to keep working on that.
On another point, I put my tee shot on 14 on to the railway 😭 ending a run of 65 holes with the same ball. Easily a record for me.

 

[EamonnC]

Definitely saw the benefit of single putts yesterday. Playing off 14 I played the first 10 holes in 4 over par with 12 putts. 15 putts for the remaining 8 holes. 27 in total.
I'd like to be able to repeat that a few times this year.

Good shooting that man..

 

[Oldham92]

37 points and 67% fairways hit. For someone who normally slices every tee shot that's rare lol

 

[Beezerk]

40 points last Sunday, 6 over front 9, 2 over back. 40 points today, 2 over front 9, 6 over back
