Not so solid 34 points today.
Fragger's gone 9-5 on us for a week so just CVG to beat.
Both started well, I was level par after 5 and then just lost it.....a series of 1 point holes left me needing a par on the 9th for 18 to trail CVG by a point.
That became 2 on the 10th until I evened it up on 11.
My 2 on 13 opened a gap which was quickly closed on the 14th and just as quickly reopened on the 15th.
Pars at the last saw me win by 3.
Putting with the flag in saved me from blobs on at least 4 occasions. I had 4-5 footers for a point and was able to be more aggressive with the pace to eliminate any break.
CVG had one across our 9th - very slopey back to front.
If the ball hadn't hit the pin it would have been 10 feet past and 10 feet down the slope!

played hickory's at Nairn Dunbar against two Dornoch boys... played with the old small ball (first time for me) same ball all the way round which was a bonus as i only had the one. They are both experienced H players so we had to play well, but my partner and i gelled well and we won the money, hit some good shots, but on the downside broke my Hickory shank duck

I assume "Fragger Luck" is available to hire when he's not there then!

Struggled to 14 points at the turn, and not a 3 pointer in sight. And 3 points in the first 2 holes of the back 9 didn't suggest things would improve. 17 points in the last 7 holes, including a lost ball made things look respectable.

And a huge shock was winning by 2 points!

Pinta today and ended up as a two ball which was ok as we're on holiday 😎 . Really enjoyed the course and the greens even though they were significantly quicker than anything I've played on in the last 5 months, 4 3 putts 😜. So very happy to have 37 points playing with only 9 clubs. Driving and ball striking is right on at the moment , wish I'd brought my range finder as massively short of the flag today on 3 occasions . Using the Motorcaddy app is just not the same 😉
HiD didn't manage to play last 3 hols as she pulled a.muscle in her left shoulder but up until then was playing really well.

Played today at Leasowe.

Blue skies, windy and absolutely freezing.

Really enjoyed it.

 

[Slime]

Three of us played a scramble today.
It was bitterly cold, windy and muddy .............................. still better than being at work though!
Off handicaps of 13, 18 and 23 we went round in +1, which I felt was pretty reasonable.
None of us were sparkling, but none of us played too badly, oh, and I didn't lose a ball!!

 

[Tashyboy]

Opened a selection box on the 10th tee, Oh Nigel, coz he always says " oh Nigel" when he hits a crap shot had a Snickers and mars bar. Tricky Trev had a snickers, I had a mars bar and a very small bar of maltesers. All the chocolate was hard coz it's been in me bag in the garage for three weeks. Golf was crap.

Leasowe 7th hole. You had probably the greatest par ever in the history of the game, considering what happened. Brill :thup:

Doubt I will ever forget that.

Yesterday was the 1st time I'd been back since, I looked on it as unfinished business.

 

[Imurg]

Well that was cold!
And frozen.
And good fun!
Scores are irrelevant on a day like today
We hit some good, some bad, some indifferent but we had a laugh and a warm coffee afterwards.
Drove well though...

When you say scores are irrelevant and put an emphasis on the weather did you not win then?

 

[Imurg]

I beat cvg.
Fragger's on 9-5 week so was AWOL...
Genuinely, scores were irrelevant. Within 50 yards of the pin was a lottery.
Good fun though....

Went to play this morning before work to see if I could nab a game in a roll up car park was unusually bare but considering it was - 2 at 8am when I arrived its was no surprise, went onto chipping Green knocked little wedge chip onto it and the ball landed harder than a Lenny McLean right hand, picked ball up went and worked on long irons & woods instead on the range for an hour then had a coffee to warm up and headed to the gym. So whilst I didn't play it turned into a productive day at the club.
