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

Not playing today but a session on the SAM putting lab. My previous session showed my stoke to be a total horror show explaining my shocking performnce on the greens over the last 2 or 3 seasons.

Despite a weekend of 12 hour night shifts, a general lack of sleep and felling crap the results today were eye opening. Difference between night and day, stroke is looking really good now, numbers are excellent and I can feel at impact how much more solid the stroke is.

Still a couple of things to work on, I tend to strike the ball toe side of centre and a little low on the face but thats something I can sort out with a little more work. Already seeing better results on the course since my 1st session so very confident now that I can actually hole some putts this year.

All in all expecting some low rounds this year, never broken 70 at Silloth yet but that is my goal.

39 points yesterday, short game was excellent, holed quite a few decent length putts.

Played this morning - 26 points! Short game was crap, and couldn't buy a putt. Highlight was putting off the 17th green into a bunker ....

Front 9 was a real horror show - got held up in traffic, and no time for a warm-up. First two holes it looked like I'd never played before in my life. Settled down a little bit after that, but found bunkers on 3 holes in a row, and then 2 lost balls saw me on a grand total of 9 at the turn! Back 9 was better, drove well and hit my long irons lovely, but the short game continued to let me down.

Was bloody freezing as well

So I played today and played crap... That's all I can say about it

Should be playing now but it’s snowing,rain and hail all at the same time.
Really strange weather the hail is really heavy but gentle snow.
And it’s freezing.
Not a golf day at all.

Sounds like my Sunday round!!!!!!!!!!!!! Avoided last place by sinking a 4 foot putt on the last but was abject. Couldn't get into it at all and had no focus and concentration. What were conditions like today?

Conditions were ideal to be honest, was a bit fresh out but course was in ideal condition, same couldn't be said for my golf 3 balls OOB on different driving holes, managed to 3 putt from 2 feet on 1 occasion and found my first fairway of the round at the 18th... Somehow finished mid pack in the roll up overall but that was more through determination of trying to score than anywhere near even mediocre golf, in fact that would have been an improvement.

Edit: just checked my stats on arcos from today my driving handicap equivalent was 30+, my standard deviation of shot from centre of fairway was 71 yards wide of target.... Back to the range then

I had been riding a wave from November until last Sunday where it was all a struggle. OOB on my second shot on the 10th (our first) and another OOB on the 16th. So many three putts and short game which had been so strong deserted me. Putting it down to a bad day and see what happens on Friday (weather permitting)

We all have those bad days the joys of golf. Mine is simply down to my horrendous driving that alone cost me 7 in 3 holes shots today, even took the 3 wood for safety on one of those holes and sent it straight OOB..

Played 9 hole stableford roll up this morning proved to my self golf is a poxy game, yesterday I couldn't get within 70yards of a fairway and today managed 21pts and drive it so much better without trying anything different...

Wait till Sundays comp it'll be different again...

Not a drop of it was barely even a mild frost when I got there at 8am today, was a nip in the air though.
Drive to work past Martin Moor though what 10mins down the road and the ground was covered much like your place. Seems we got lucky in Billinghay and South Kyme with it.

This was our 5th hole today,

Good shooting. Keep the roll going for the weekend. You know it's in there

Lovely day on the heath. Tad nippy, but in the sun not bad at all. Course is in best condition I can remember in the winter. Blackmoor boys saw off West Surrey ones 4 and 3, despite being two down at the turn.

A 3 man Texas today up at Lorca GC. 7*C up in them there hills when I got there, and there was a few bits of white in the shaded areas. We had 8.5 shots, and were quite happy to be 2 over par at the turn. The back 9 was completed 1 under, inc. a bogey on 17. A great team effort with all 3 players making huge contributions. 63.5 was the final score, and a win.

Played Runcorn today, tee'd off around midday with frozen greens, finished in the fog three and a half hours later.

Still enjoyed it though.

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Only my 3rd outing since August last year and despite the frozen greens and a few duff chips shot 17 points through 8 and then blobbed the 9th.

Very promising with 5 pars, 5/7 fairways 5 GIR.
