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!

Top man. What you off now?

I won the January stableford at my place with 44 points and got a three shot cut (that was daft). Qualified for our end of season "Masters" for competition winners. Third year running I've qualified

Bit breezy out there today, but still sunny and dry, level nett, and much better than saturday!

Now off 18 (18.3) - hoping to get it lower over next month or so. Have been playing pretty well in recent weeks, just not been that many qualifiers. Have to say, the driver I recently bought off Oddsocks has been working a treat.

Just finished and sat in clubhouse with a coffee now. Played in a stroke play event today NQ but it was for our club B team top 4 gross scores and top 6 nett score a from 46 players got to make the squad (8 players and 2 reserves)

Course was wet and the conditions were very windy. Left the driver in the bag after the 3rd simply because any sort of side spin was hugely exaggerated in the wind today. Actually played really well knocked it round in 74 with 14 pars, 1 birdie and 3 bogeys. Always play well in the wind just need to do the bloody same in calm conditions.

I managed to nab the first spot with lowest gross and one guy I played with made it in as well. Now just wait for the first match which is in April, and play in the team roll up each Saturday to try out pairings.

Gutted it was NQ as would have been a nice cut.

played with my mate Rob this morning, showing off his new PXG irons.

round in under 2 hours a miracle for him as most would describe him as "methodical"

hit the ball OK, but dragged my PP down to my level

nice to see some of the holes back to the normal tee's now most of the diggers have gone.

got in just before it pee'd it down

Were you running, under two hours is a bit sharpish.

Must have been nine holes.

First time at Wollaton Park on Tee Tours event, off the whites and 35 points off my own bat and a paltry 78 for the team. Lovely course in lovely weather and got close to the deer

Our society is going to Wollaton Park this year so thanks for the positive comments.

 

[Bigfoot]

Yeah could be all bar one of my sub par rounds have been wearing shorts 😁

I only wear shorts when playing matchplay - it really puts the opposition off!

Played on Monday at Trentham GC for the first time and enjoyed the course with greens in great condition and played well, something I don't usually do first time on a new course.
Played on Tuesday as if I was two different players. Some absolutely brilliant shots and some absolutely awful ones.
Thursday is at Ludlow in the Tom Smart Trophy - team event , so it will be interesting to see which one turns up.

Wollaton Park is the best course in Nottingham, picturesque, challenging and interesting wildlife. If you tee off early you might see the Badgers.
It's never wet either.

Played westerham.

Tough school to make the team. A lot of clubs seem to struggle with numbers so that's pretty impressive.

What course is it again?
Oh, and are club changing thoughts receding after that good knock? 🙂

South Kyme in Lincs, there was a really good turnout tbh I think probably only a 1/2 maybe few more playing were trying for the team as there is a handicap limit up to 17 and there were a few above that, which I think were just out for the knock before the afternoon weather turned, as the club is really inclusive and didn't turn people away just because they couldn't qualify which I like as outside of match days shows anyone is willing to play with anyone else regardless of standard.

As for the question on clubs, is now a good time to admit that score was my 2nd round I've had with the demo set and as a a result an order has been placed for a set, just got to tell Mrs Wolf now that there are some new shineys arriving. Also tried the driver and really liked it and just tossing up whether to get that or change my Wedges first.

Played Old Prestwick today. Didn’t play that well but thoroughly enjoyed the round. There is a real sense of history about the place, from the clubhouse to the course.
Some of the holes are really quirky, they just wouldn’t design holes like that anymore. The par 3 5th hole, the Himalayas and the 15th and 17th spring to mind. The cardinal bunker which is in pla6 on 3rd and 16th is amazing as well. We got round pretty dry after a couple of early showers.
Will try and upload the few photos I took tomorrow.

Excellent - just what I wanted to hear!

Played this morning, got out early and managed to avoid the rain, was just starting as we came off at 11.30.

Hit my irons great, but driving very erratic. Ended up abandoning the driver and just hitting my 5 iron off the tee. 36 points, but 4 blobs, all caused by bad drives. Have got a lesson tomorrow to try to sort it out.

 

[Shooter McPowick]

Howling wind (unusual for us down in Surrey) but held it together for the front 9. Nothing great but quite steady for 16 points with 1 blob. Back 9 was a joke, lost concentration and motivation for a measly 11 points &2 blobs! Should have gone home after 9.
