played at Leigh, course looked in great condition but the greens, which looked lovely, were so slow. I really had a weird round twice I had a run of 3 pars but in between those patches I was really quite poor.

7 over front 9, with 3 lost balls. 2 over back 9. Driving was spot on, only missing one fairway by about a yard. Putting was ok, but didn't bag a single birdie all the way round. Iron play on the front 9 was dire.
It was my first game in a few weeks, so reasonably pleased with it. Driving, after thinking age was catching up with me as my regular playing partners had been up with me for most of the year - wow! Typically, 20-40 yards ahead of them on most holes.

Have just heard that my 36pts at Tyneside with 4 blobs, last week, was good enough to get me into the August England Golf Week Finals @ Woodhall Spa. I must have got the sympathy vote..... & by sh1t I deserved it.
Good starting point before the lesson. Keep going forward

Agreed, it's like playing through the middle of a council estate!

36 points and a lovely summer's afternoon walk at Seaford Head yesterday. Course wasn't in the best condition I've ever seen it, but the views were as amazing as ever. Even managed reasonable golf!
Happy days.

Played a society round yesterday at Sweetwoods. Another what if round.
34 points having knifed 4 wedges though greens (2 balls lost and 2 not nice) I’m not too disappointed. More gutted I lost a ball on the 18th as I’d amassed enough pars alongside a couple of bogeys that a final par would have got me 36 points. Managing a second ball par after (ironically) a very nice wedge was a little consolation.

Played a club match at Burnham Beeches. What a beautiful course and in fantastic nick.
You could do a helluva lot worse than playing there if you get a chance.
Loved it.

Played at Rufford with three pals, struggled on the front nine trying to play shots I shouldn't and hit 14 points. Back nine I played percentage golf playing the shots I know I can hit. Smashed it for 20 points and there should of been more. Went from last to joint first and Lady Luck was not with me.
Thought Rufford was a nice course.

I'd be very happy with 34 points around Sweetwoods! The most important question there is how'd you do on 15/16, the stupid par 5/long par 3 combo!? Course was in great nick last time i played it, about a month ago. Just a shame my golf was not!
Played 14-17 1 under gross. The final par 5 usually beats me up but was actually a very standard 3 wood, hybrid, wedge and 2 putt.
Par 3 a little chip sideways and lucky long putt.
For £18 I don’t think many are better on the area.
Had another game at the Kings last night, seldom have i hit the ball so well off the tee, but with the slow new greens it was impossible to hole any of the puts that were birdie range.
Course is coming on leaps and bounds and already spotted and few places where you can get fooled by some of the bunkering.

Had a day off, hacked off the tee. One drive on the fairway, the rest hitting trees, left and right.
Good company, lovely course, lovely food and gravity played its part to ensured the final putt that had missed the hole, fell back into it, so the game was halved between us, great finish.

Not me....but my daughter got her first hole in one today.
Amazing as she has played between +1 and 4 for the last 30 years.
Just two more to equal her dad and four more to equal her grandad now.

Now I didn’t play today but I see @upsidedown did and he had a very impressive round in the midland golf union seniors event.
Great round today.
Good luck for tomorrow ðŸ‘

Yesterday I play a 4BBB knockout at my club, it was pretty even but it was safe to say they had the lock and they won 2&1,
Today was a 4BBB open at Crompton and Royton, we played pretty well but were too erratic, I had an eagle for 5 points but we also had a blob and three 1 point holes, 40 points left us 3 behind the winners. and one out of the prizes

Decided to play supper club and test the back post physio. Good news was actually hitting the ball was pain free. Bad news was using a carry bag was a mistake and caused the back to really hurt. Good news is it was no more painful than when this all started. Good, good news is once I did 40 minutes of stretching again took two neurofen and put heat on it the pain was much reduced. Had to get on the ground a few times on the course and really stretch it out so don't be alarmed if you see a brightly coloured mass on the floor next week. It'll mean the back is struggling again
I only managed 15 points but thought it was going to be one of those days when I hit a pitch stone dead for opening birdie. Going along great (on back 9) until 14 when I lost 2 balls off the tee and didn't score, 15 when I went into a ditch (but scrambled a point) and 16 when I went left again OOB. I chipped really well and made a great sand save at 17 and chipped dead on 18. Just need to keep going with the exercises, try and do some short game work and putting and then hit balls at weekend. Put me down for 25 at Addington and 23 on the Old and 24 on the New (if I play well!).
