Donna and I played Borth & Ynyslas today. £35 with a 241 voucher. Lots of fun to be has there. A few holes we had no idea where we were going. So very narrow parts and great sea and hill views. Lots of humps and bumps along the way.

Well pleased with my 35 points....although Mrs M beat me with 37

Pro shop was full of stuff @Crow and @Voyager EMH would be after. Quite unusual. Has anyone else be there and see what I mean?

It's a regular stop on the hickory trail but I've never played it myself.

Seniors singles KO today and was giving 17 shots. I honestly don’t know why I enter these KO competitions. Lost 4/3. The guy was putting 3 woods onto the green from 200 yards away. Played with the high handicap seniors in medals loads and with a card in their hand they play absolute tosh. Match play against me and it’s always “I haven’t played this good in ages”. He didn’t make one high handicapper stupid mistake and except for the long second where he made a double he made a par or a bogey on every hole.

Leicestershire & Rutland seniors KO at home to day against Glen Gorse.
Betterball Stableford matchplay.

I putted like a complete idiot, 3-putted 5 times!
We lost our match 41 to 39 and lost overall 3 to 2.

Played 4 holes today and walked in with calf trouble!
Have been trying to build up some stamina before the Cooden meet but may have over-done it a bit - going from one round every week or two, to 9 rounds (4 carrying 10 clubs) in two-and-a-half weeks.
Hopefully, a rest will be all it needs otherwise a buggy will be required! Shhhh! Dont tell Leftie!

Final practice before the Hillman Plate at Heythrop on Saturday. Was atrocious on Sunday after a solid 2nd place on Saturday (although in my defence it was my birthday and I was thinking of those lunchtime birthday drinks and had no thought process behind any shot, although my swing was so off without a warm up). Sorted a few things out so as ready as I can be and will be chipping in the garden each evening to get the short game working

I missed a two foot putt this morning. I have no intention of discussing it with anyone, nor will I be releasing a statement about it tomorrow.

But did you congratulate the winner??

Light rain started falling on the 3rd. Got a bit heavier by the 4th. By the 5th, it was an absolute downpour, everything soaked through. It looked set, so we decided to call it a day.

15 minutes later the rain had stopped and it was brightening up. Typical.

Played alone so the course was very much the winner. All I could say was "Thanks for ruining my day".

But just think, you must have really made your opponent's day and given him a story he can tell for years to come.

Here to help.

Nice casual round with a mate, good company, decent golf and a decent general play card submitted for handicap.

A grand day out today at Glorious Shifnal with Bigfoot, Crow and Upsidedown (host).
Course in great condition with very slick greens.

All playing with old bats. Played 4 holes in the middle of the round with some 1.62 Penfolds.
Shot of the day was Bigfoot on the third hole, full iron shot, second bounce straight into the hole for an eagle 2.
He followed that up with a birdie 2 on the 7th with one of the old Penfold balls.

For me: Swilken driver, Spalding Centurion 3 and 5 woods, Wilson Blue Ridge blades 2-SW and John Letters Banker 5 putter.
I struggled with any consistency from the tee, a few good ones, but also hooks, skies and one scuff that didn't reach the fairway.
Fairway woods, irons, chipping and putting weren't bad.
Really enjoyed the greens and the company, of course.

Played today and the lad on his own behind us got a hole in one on the par 3 11th at Heaton Park, it’s 190 yards over a ravine.

Wow. Great hole to get one. I played with a bloke who lost nine balls there once attempting to clear the ravine

Nine win in a seniors match today.

Pleasure to host you guys and really enjoyed the day using the old John Letters and 4 holes with the Penfold, my choice shot with it would be the chip up the green on 9 for a 5 , bogey.

Oh and the East Midlands duo of Crow & Voyager EMH took the honours 2 up with just one half on 11th

Yes, odd that there was only one halved hole. And I think all 4 of us parred it.
Wait a minute. 16th and 17th were halved, I think.
