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

Got absolutely smashed 4 and 2 (lucky to survive that long!) got home and checked the scorecard, I was only two over handicap which given I was just cut by 2 shots isn't too bad.

5 clubs certainly doesn't hurt my game in the slightest! The guy who beat me must have been at least 3-4 under his handicap with 5 clubs into these winds.

Well a bit brutal out there today with the wind and rain - entered our Captains Cup Comp , 4BBB we went round in 46 points 2 under gross as a pair - might be enough to get us into finals day

Really tough out there today. Wet from heavy overnight rain, playing as long as it can off the whites and with 25+mph gusts of wind. Didn't play great but pace of play a real problem with a known suspect holding proceedings again and a 3 ball lost a hole on the group in front after two holes and were holding up a four ball. Managed to get go out in 18 points including a pitch in for birdie at the 7th, vindication of the hard work I've been putting into my short game. Lost the plot on the back nine, especially as we were waiting on every shot getting colder and colder

Wasn't two guys filming themselves holding things up was it😂

32 points up at Newbiggin. A bit nippy, but a really lovely day once the sun came out. Snow forecast for tomorrow, so reckon that could be my golf for the week.

Nice little 9 hole knock this morning in fear of the weather worsening later this week and shot 17 points on our back 9 which is by far the harder of the 2.

Cannot get on with the 3 wood, but the 3 iron was 3\3 perfect

Played at Pedham place and shot an 83, for 41 points which was nice given it was cold and windy.
Pretty much all my game was spot on and I even chipped in for a birdie.

Got on the course today, not a proper game but walked a dozen holes doing a bit of chipping and putting and making some half swings (and a few fuller ones where I got a bit exuberant!)

Despite a few weeks practice chipping on the carpet at home my short game was reassuringly poor but the best was that I felt fine afterwards.

Problem in those conditions is you're going to be slower and probably a lot slower if you're already a sloth like paced player. Tough conditions like that and we had the same yesterday is always going to make people question shots longer, take time setting up over the ball and then add in the extra layers people Feel uncomfortable in is going to slow things down.

Fantastic news Nick, short game same as before then 😛

Played yesterday on the Hotchkin, loving the new changes to the opening holes, the 18th is just bunker city.

I reckon if I play all my qualifiers on the Hotchkin this year I should be up to 18 easily 😱

Cheers!

Some things never change!

Sounds good. Any before and after photos to see the changes?

Brilliant Nick. Hopefully you will be firing on all systems soon, and hitting a few full shot shanks.

First round in a week for me today, game was a bit mixed but nice to be out and playing, not looking good for the rest of the week.

Travelled to Cardiff yesterday for a business conference, stopped to play the 2010 at Celtic Manor on the way down. Great deal for breakfast and the round, excellent service all round in the clubhouse from check in to leaving. Course was very boggy in parts, a lot of plugged balls, but the sun was out, not too cold, and I racked up up 35 points, very happy with that. And picked up a pair of Galvin Green waterproof trousers for half price in the pro shop after. Enjoyed my day.

Good news. Keep an eye on that exuberance and don't do any damage (how were the fuller shots btw?)

Or rather I didn’t play today. Course closed due to frozen greens. 😥

It made me chuckle thinking of the few that cannot get out
