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

wasn't going to play today as i've two ties to play tomorrow, due to numpty's trying it on and leaving it till the last minuet in the hope to will concede, but was invited to play Royal Dornoch and its a nice day. played well and got round in a decent time before all the yanks. Greens were the best i think i've ever experienced there before.
 
Mixed interclub knockout last night, another wonderful evening for golf, played at home against The Tytherington Club, it was a foursomes and my partner and I have a very good record having only lost once in 5 years. We werent very good last night and were dormie 3 down when we were called in as the team had already won 4 of the 7 matches. Hope we play better in the next round.
 
Had a medal comp today. Pretty ordinary front nine, got two triples and a double unfortunately but the rest was pars and bogeys. Managed to keep the pars and bogeys going, plus one birdie for a 3 over back nine! Ended up shooting 83, net 62 (6 under). Normally I would have left with hope of a victory but my mate I was playing with shot a bloody net 60 didn't he (76 off 16)! His back nine was 1 under.

Anyway results have come in, I took second place behind him, typical, haha. I'll get a prize for that and I've been cut from 20.7 to 18.8! Finally in the teens! Lovely stuff. :D
 
Having worked out why I was hitting the irons badly last night hoped for a good round today in a stableford comp. Irons were still a mixed bag, but signs of improvement and I came home with 32 points so hopefully have just scraped into the buffer zone.
 
Decided on a reciprical at Caversham Heath with my regular partner. Really slow and lost interest on the back nine and over 5 hours to get round. Didn't hit it great especially off the tee and timing well off. As it was essentially a freebie no biggie but not good going into the reopened course and some big events in the next few weeks. Will try again in the Sunday roll up if only to enjoy the sun

I played the PGA Centenary at Gleneagles today, my golf was decidedly average, especially on the back 9 - I did hit a lovely 2i to about 10ft on the last, but missed the putt which summed up my play. I wasn't blown away by the course, or by the experience, I certainly wouldn’t rush back, especially considering the cost.

Queen’s & King”s tomorrow.

Well the Queen’s & King’s were much better, a shame my golf was only marginally better!
 
Played (yesterday) in the members roll up at my old club.

Don’t remember ever driving the ball so well. Hit every single fairway and was hitting it a decent distance. Unfortunately with the amount I am playing the other components of my game failed to materialise.

Off the tee my handicap was probably close to scratch. Approach play was probably close to my handicap (15ish). Around the green and putting was closer to that of a 36 handicapper!! No touch with wedges (lots of bladed and chunked shots) and putting was a horror show.

Anyway, nice to be out and the weather was amazing!
 
Just got back from playing the blue and gold courses at Shropshire golf
Club - both great lay outs and the greens were fantastic!
Shot an 84 for 36 points.
had 7 1 putts with 3 dropping from 30 odd feet which was pleasing.
New bats are great and slowly getting used to the increased distances and having to stand slight farther from the ball.
Used a snell mtb black x which kept me company for 18 holes and is decent ball

No, no, no....you've ruined it with the first part of that last sentence.
Yes, it's a decent ball but the first bit??
Really:unsure:

That’s your good round gone. One whippersnapper we don’t have to worry about next week. Just for your information I was not too bad today and so ready to peak next week. I hope your worried young one, really really worried🤣😜👍
 
Have our annual swindle match today

Playing against a 21 and 13 HC - giving 15 and 8 shots - we went round 6 under par as a pair And we lost one down 😂 but overall our swindle won

I’m sure I’ll sleep ok this week mate!
 
Bogey. Just why? What is the point? Started -,-,- and then rallied a bit. Turned at -2, level on 12, -2 dormie, parred the 17th, birdied 18 to finish level. Waste of a birdie, as I had a shot anyway, and effectively had 2 to hole out from 10 inches.

Really don't get bogey.

Only good thing is I have rediscovered the fine art of driving.

Sadly, it goes hand in hand with now putting like a wally.
 
I played today and it shows I have not been to the range enough since my lesson. Been 3 weeks now and I have just not put any practice in.

All the bits are there, just need to put them together.

Putting and chipping are good at least.
