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

Third day of my long weekend and third day of tripe. Every part of the game has fallen apart and confidence is on the floor, even my putting which I consider a strong point usually. I've cut down on the amount of tuition I was having but I think now may be the time to bite the bullet. At least today and yesterday we got to play in shirt sleeves
 
Took my son on to the course yesterday to play his first nine holes off of the men’s tees with a view to putting in the card towards his handicap. The expectation is a handicap of 50-54 as he struggles to hit it more than 120 yards and this will enable him to enter the club junior competitions. Avoided getting any 10s on the card, which was the goal and this included holing a putt of 45 feet from off the green on the 500 yard par 5 8th for a 9 which was a cause for celebration.

Went out on my own today. Net par, and drove the ball well. The lesson I had in December has certainly paid dividends and looking forward to the new season.
 
Beautiful afternoon of golf! Back to shorts and shirt sleeves, which for February is quite ridiculous. Friendly knock at Grim's Dyke with two mates. After not being able to hit an iron for the last few weeks, I just decided to focus on keeping my head still and let the rest of it take care of itself, and it actually worked - I hit irons better than I have done all winter. Great front nine of 21 points, following by a slightly less great back nine of 13 points, but a decent score of 34 overall. It's just typical of golf that once I hit my irons better, the driver goes wrong when that's been my most consistent club recently. But hey ho, just happy I played well today, and happy about the freakishly good weather.
 
Played really well yesterday - in absolutely glorious weather. Was hitting drives & fairway shots really well. Managed an 86 (net 67 for 38 points). But it could have been, oh, so, much better. Jerry Le Putt just didn't turn up (Brian, thanks for the nice comments in post #1734 - missed the post first time). Missed 4 or 5 absolute sitters which between them wouldn't add up to 10ft in total. (which only go to show they are not sitters :(). But well pleased generally.
 
Played Friday/Saturday/Sunday

Friday at my place, had to carry (clowns) did 18. Knackered.
Saturday at new club smashing day out!
Sunday at another place that's cheap on a Sunday. Greens looked beautiful but they were very soft meaning that it was like putting on lego. The ball popped about like I've never seen before. Give us a great laugh. Stopped at 17th, next to car park. shattered. Found 6 balls though, gud 'uns an' al.

Played rubbish all three days but wasn't it great in all that sunshine ?

Two great days for Golf.
Course in good nick, few quick wins being seen from a new head greenskeeper only a couple of weeks in to the job.

Lost 2n1 Saturday but felt I was hitting the ball well.
Won 5n4 Sunday with a net 64, so very pleased with that.

Hopefully some encouraging signs come spring to get the h/cap down a bit.

I think a lot of us are hoping your handicap goes down more than a bit !!

We have a guy who has worn shorts every round all year including the winter (and played regularly). Granted it was for a bet but in your case it could be the answer. Think of the royalties from the coaching manual and your own short sponsorship deal. This is the future

Our club captain wears shorts for every single round, without fail. Even several weeks ago when it must have been about 1 or 2 degrees. The man is insane. My limit is around 10 or 12 degrees. :p
