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

Very wet under foot today.
Loads of rain yesterday and a very heavy shower just before we went out.
Decent front 9 of 18 points without really playing more than ok..tied with Fragger at this point.
Only shot 14 on the way back but it was enlighten to defeat the Modfather by a point...
Interestingly, Fragger told of his society bash the day before. A guy putted from distance with the flag in, holed it but hit the flag.
So his 3 for 4 became 5 for 2 and he lost by a point!
Fast forward to the 18th......
Fragger has a 30 foot putt for a point. Doesn't expect to hole it so putts with the flag in.....and he holes it.
So a 2 shot penalty gives a blob
I take 6 for 1 and win by a point.
Oh, and I took the 2's pot on the final putt of the final par 3 of the year for us.....£39 in the kitty.
Fragger was so pleased for me..

2 from 4 in the Fiddle today and came 3rd with 92 behind 93 and 95. Had 41 myself including a lost ball into low sun on the 3rd, course was very playable despite all the heavy rain from yesterday .

Being that tough I bet the local youngsters are glad you are not an examiner

To be fair, he called it......

I love the way he finds fresh ways of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory

Indeed, you should have heard him on the 12th SI 1 par4, when after a hopeless drive and a decent hybrid shot, I put my PW approach to under a foot from the pin , for a gimme and 4 for 4.

“You can’t do that, you’re a flippin ( substitute word used) 22 handicapper
😂😂😎

I’ll have him next year 👍

Funny old game.
My short game was utter pants but, after a tiny change to set up, I was piping my drives right down the middle.
In fact, with driver, I only missed two fairways and that was just by a few feet and both times my ball was playable.
I don't think I've had a better driving round before ............................ sneaky long, too!
Also, I didn't lose a ball!! I think that's just for the second time this year.
Now, where's my short game gone?

Slight therapy session here. 20 points after 9, 25 after 11, 34 after 18 . First 9 was a joy, straight drives, good 2nd shots, chipping as well as I've done all year, putting more than solid. Last 7 I lost my swing on 2nd shots leaving long irons into the green. I 4 putted one hole, 3 putted the last, all from nowhere.

All a bit bemused by it, not sure whether to be pleased with the good stuff, of which there was plenty, or gutted by the bad, of which there was not really that much. Hey ho, that's golf.

Xmas Shotgun that was called off two weeks ago due to course closure , course open after 15mm overnight rain which was a surprise but actually played well, 6 temps, 115 out playing 4BBB. We had 47 , winners on 50 . Shot level par and picked up a nice bottle of Gordons

 

[IanM]

A bit like Spring in South Wales this morning......nice and sunny! 37 points , nice and solid, but 41 winning when I left the club. No matter, very enjoyable

Return of the Homer. After shanking my way through several buckets of balls this weeks I rocked up to the Christmas roll up with no expectations and just trying not to embarrass myself. We started on the 10th with no warm up as the course was so busy and a duck hook off the first didn't bode well. Managed a net par and after an up and down from sand at the next I was off and running. Finished with 37 points for a share of the 2nd place pool. If I could have putted and chipped I@d have pocketed the first prize but more than happy with how I played

BB Pairs today over 13 holes in order to give more people a chance to play/compete.
Smashed it with 38 points over 13 holes (12 under).
I was only 3 over after 9, so very happy with my game today. Massive difference compared to last week where I couldn't hit a ball. Go figure!

went to play the Struie with Slow Dave, great start birdie birdie, Eagle, so 4 under gross for the first 3 holes. then the wheels fell of as the tee's after that got quite frosty and my feet kept slipping. was wearing full spikes but recently been wearing soft spikes, which are much better in the frost in my experience

Played on The Queens today at Gleneagles, half an hour delay due to a tad of surface frost but it soon cleared. The course was very good and it was a great day for a game even ended up playing in tee-shirts after an hour or so. The Kings tomorrow so fingers crossed for more of the same 👍
