Rubbish today. 38 points. Ball striking was just a bit off, and had too many putts stop 1/4 roll short, while bang on line.
Weather looks a shocker tomorrow.

First medal of the year off the plates. Net 73 but had gone out in 40 (+5 gross) and going nicely until a four ball of green fees cut in and I lost the plot for a few holes. Decent enough return as I haven't played well for a few weeks
Green fee visitors in the middle of a medal on a Saturday? With limited daylight still?
Would not be having that. Pay a premium for Saturday morning golf at a private course and they let the riff raff in?!

The March monthly stableford today - 38 points - 3 better than handicap. Well chuffed as it was a qualifier which should mean a reduction of at least 0.9 and was leader in the clubhouse when I left. Could have been better as there were two stupid blobs in there - both caused by poor decisions.

Good shootingNairn Dunbar Medal today, as i'm not a full members not allowed to win, but can still go in the twos and sweep. played pretty well, left a few out there as putting was quite tricky, 74 gross.
course was right on its full length (6770) with all of the tee's at the very very back of every tee, it was a shock to the system thats for sure, first was a drive and 2 hybrid, last few games its been drive and flick, i suspect the head greens keeper didn't get laid last night
As you say always a shock first time of medal tees after winter golf. They always seem to set it up at it’s longest as well, no breaking you in gently. Got that to look forward to next weekend

Played yesterday at Gailes in sweep, 19 points couldn’t do much right, one of those days.
Had been on range working on short game really hard Wednesday and Friday seemed to put my long game off, however executed some technically good pitches and chips, so a definite improvement there.
Looking forward to Old Prestwick on Wednesday, let’s hope the weather plays ball

most of the tee's were as far back as far as they could go all the longest holes were the very back edge so your back foot was off the tee. it was at Nairn Dunbar too, which is longer than Nairn anyway, almost 300 yards, didn't help it had rained all night too.lol.Good shooting
got the real shock to come, first game back at Nairn on the new layout is 6th April, going to be a whole new ball game.. at least 6 holes have had drive bunkers right in the middle of the fairway at 240 ish off the medal tee, going to be tough for the med hitters where as all the young guns will be carrying them anyway off the whites

I thought the tee had to have two club lengths behind the markers.
NQ so they can do what they like. a couple of them were raised mats that i've not seen on the course before, some so far back as to not actually be on the actual tee

Last game in our Winter League 4BBB matchplay before the knockout stages, neither ourselves nor our opposition could qualify so we played front, back and 0verall £1, £1, £1 and 50p bits.
We won front and back, so also overall.
We were three bits down on the 15th tee but had three birdies between us on 15 and 16 to square that too, just to rub salt into the wound.

Jeez someone upset the greenkeeperNQ so they can do what they like. a couple of them were raised mats that i've not seen on the course before, some so far back as to not actually be on the actual tee
Played selsdon park with son in law and his dad in the wind and rain.
Didn’t feel comfy in my jacket so ditched it for my pro quip (other brands are available) jumper and felt much better.
Scored a respectable 35 points so pretty happy

They were told they had to go off the first, got there and the roll up was still going on so took it on themselves to race round and get off in front of us. I raised it with the pro shop and the office and all I got is "if they hold you up and won't let you through give us a call and we'll sort it". NO, sort it now while they are only 150 yards from your door. One of my PP's was incandescent and has already fired a really strong letter off. The green fees were in the wrong, but the pro shop and office more so. Definitely not on

Wow it was tough out there today.
Teed off at 12.30 when the wind started to pick up. Front nine was just a bit of drizzle, but the back nine it poured down and wind was just just silly.
Managed level twos stableford for first 17 holes, and then hit the 18th. Straight into the bad weather. 400 yards playing about 550. Hacked up the hole, well up the 10th to be more accurate, and then had a putt from about ten feet that looked like it had stopped a few inches from the hole, until the wind below it five feet away. Nice blob to finish.
Definitely the windiest I have ever played the course. Just put car in the garage at home, when two large chunks of tree landed where I had just been parked.

First Comp of the year - became a Non Q because someone decided to allow people to use tees on fairways because some still need time to recover
37 points in pretty poor weather - came 4th , hit the ball really well but not great putter and didn’t judge the wind too well - shame it was a Non Q as would have got a tiny cut

Played yesterday at Wyboston Lakes, my wife treated me to a weekend away there for my birthday - she disappeared off to the spa whilst I played.
Started horrifically, losing 3 balls into the lake on the 1st, recovered to have 18 points at the turn and then fell apart on the back - ended up going with a par - triple - par - triple routine.
Lovely course and would like to play it in the summer - not a long course so lots of opportunities to score well.

Woo-hoo ...
Results now published - score was good enough not just to win my division, but also to win overall, meaning I get the handicap cut, as well as entry into the Champion of Champions Trophy. Chuffed!

Played a medal yesterday, and started fairly ok with a few pars and some sneaky bogeys. Played 7, 8, 9 in 6, 7, 6 (combined +7) which gave me a front 9 of +9....not great when handicap is 5! Proceeded to make 4 birdies and shoot -1 gross on the back 9 for 80, and nett 75. Scraped into buffer to keep at Cat 1.
Annoying little game we play!
