Midweek medal today. Didn't enter as we didn't tee off till 5pm so thought we wouldn't make it round before dark. We just made it round and I shot 72, bloody typical

Good going on fitting 18 in, and of course a great score.
If you'd entered it would probably have been an 80 😉🙂

18 holes round Ormskirk and a tad blowey , back tomorrow for proper comp

 

[Tashyboy]

9 holes 20 points and hopefully a cut to 16.9 first time I will ever have 16 something on me card 😁 . A 2 for 4 helped , but again it was close to being massive. Enjoying me golf.

Have played Murrayshall the last two days, was a struggle to be fair, very long of the medal tees and ground was soaking, happy to be home with a dram 😂

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nine holes after work. Definitely colder feel in the evenings and nights starting to draw in. Didn't keep score and hit couple of balls on most holes to hang back from the three in front as they had nowhere to go and were keeping up with group in front. No-one behind. Found "something" that meant it was better than the previous effort on Tuesday but short game still needs attention

just back after a weeks golf around Edinburgh.

Played Bruntsfield, Morton hall, Gullane, then stopped off at Dunfirmline GC on the way back.
Played Gullane many times before, but none of the other 3.

really enjoyed Mortonhall and Dunfirmline, but Bruntsfield was a slog TBH, they have just had a course upgrade by Mackenzie and Ebert, the same people who are doing Nairn.
Nothing to comp it agaist but was a bit of a slog and very samey, bunkers all in the same place off the tee, which made for plenty of long shots unless you can carry the bunkers with a driver, which where all about 240 off the tee, right on my sunday best range,

played steady and was 2nd overall in our comp over the 4 days, but plenty of unforces errors either from the middle of the fairway or on the green and failed to really capitalise on most of the numerouse birdie chances i gave myself

Last of our 6 "midweek" comps today. Last time we couldn't enter because the PSI screen wasn't working and there was nobody around to check in with.
Nobody about today either but at least the screen was working......it's just that when we went to sign in there was no comp registered on the system - just an opportunity to book in for another supplementary....great.
So we saved ourselves some cash and signed up.
Played pretty decently, shot a gross 80(+7) for 37 points to be comfortably in the buffer.
Decent day at the office

 

[Tongo]

Shot 73 at Ampfield earlier. Played okay but putting was again a bit iffy.

 

[Crow]

Played our B v C Team bash this afternoon, got drenched on the second hole but then it cleared up, we won our match 3 & 2 and I scored 35 points on my card for 5th place in the B Team Stableford.
Best score I've had all year off the whites which is a sad reflection on my play this year.

Day 1 of my mega September

Played coxmoor as a guest of @Hitdaball, my 1st visit to Coxmoor and my what a fantastic course and club, I had heard good things but it went way over exceeding my expectations, good hole after good hole with lots of elevation changes. Having played all top 3 Notts now I would put it below Hollinwell and in my opinion it’s better than Sherwood. Comp wise we did ok. Only a couple of points away from the prizes.

Thanks Russ 👍👍

Thanks for holding our card up @Lincoln Quaker , we can always take inspiration from our playing partners for the next round 😆

played Nairn Dunbar today as there is a Ladies Pro Am on.

course in good condition, with nice weather hardly a breath of wind. only downside it was slow, got through the group in front, but the next just would not despite losing 3 holes on the group in front of them, one of them even walked back to the tee without making any eye contact, head down
in the end we walked in after the 13th. stood on the tee for 10 mins while they looked for balls, then over the burn then again while the buggered about on the green.

 

[USER1999]

Played yesterday, was 4 under h cap. Played today, different fish, was 7 over it. Wrote off two prov1x by knifing them out of bunkers. Reminded me alot of old balata balls. Smiley smiley.

Medal tomorrow. Which me will turn up?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Saturday roll up. 31 points but some decent stuff in there. It feels close but with possible surgery looming after H4H not sure I want to catch a wave of form and have it curtailed.

 

[Deleted member 25172]

Played medal today and played some decent holes but my oh my, my game from tee is costing me dearly. 3 triple-bogeys, all after having to take 3 from tee. Sunningdale form is nowhere to be seen. .1 up today, so unless I manage to find my game within the next 7 days, which is unlikely as I won’t be playing in the week, I’ll be playing off of 10 come H4H. Who knows, perhaps the bandit living inside my body decides it’ll be a good time to show up then again to card 42 points.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Greens tined and bumpy - a bit chilly - a bit windy - a bit of rain - a bit of sun - and 37 pts off 8 and the back tees. Pity I didn’t enter the comp - might have snuck into the winners enclosure. No matter - might pick up a few bob from the roll-up pot.

 

[BubbaP]

Medal today, was great off the tee, but kept making bogeys - so frustrating.
Finally hit an approach shot on 11 to birdie after lipping the eagle putt. Of course as the approach shots improved the driving started to vanish from 15. Net 77, 0.1 gained ☹

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Genuine question Martin, do you really feel that 31 points is close to a wave of form?
Apologies but it isn’t in my book??

What’s the surgery for, and how long is the lay off?

I do think its close. Good shots are getting better, and short game fired today but couldn't buy a putt and had the poor shots I hit seemed severely punished when on another day I'd have got away with it. It has been like that for a few weeks where it feels it's simmering.

I have a hernia that's getting bigger and beginning to niggle so seen my GP to start the clock ticking to have surgery. Not looked at recovery time but as it'll be towards winter I can afford to take my time and not have to get out on a freezing cold weekend morning or in the rain

Played the little 6 hole par 3 course a couple of times at Rudding Park, I really need to work on my (pretty poor) short game. A nice little course though

Not wanting to start a barney but wouldn’t that be easier if you asked the guy if you could play through? Surely it’s a bit frustrating to only play 13 holes?
