38 points with 2 lost ball blobs which were very avoidable. 11/13 fairways 10 GIR 33 putts.

Shot of the day was the 7i into 14 to 4 feet closely followed by a full wedge on 16 to 2 feet… lowlight were the 2 missed 2 foot putts - putter is driving me mad!

Dreading the putting going forward for a few weeks. Putting green has been shut for a while and they cored all the greens yesterday. At least the sand should be washed in. My stroke from 2-3 hasn't been good and with the uncertainty on how the ball will react won't do anything for confidence. Necessary of course. Putting well at home but we know how different it is on the course under pressure

Yeah we were mid maintenance week today, greens were sandy but pretty true to be fair. The 2 missed easy putts I just saw break that wasn’t there. Couple of weeks and I need to get some time in on the practice green!

Front 18 putts, back 15

Sunny but very breezy at Dunbar today, shot approx 5 or 6 over, highlight of the round was birdie 3 on 17, drive carved way right on the wind almost into the sea, cleared a few loose impediments from the beach, 7 iron to 4 feet to a tough back right pin and holed the putt, move on ?

After 3 or 4 rounds of utter tripe....I'm back!
3 over front 9, level par back 9
74 blows, 41 points, Index down to 6.1
Happy days.

 

[Imurg]

Just to add...
Kept a 6 off a counting card for the first time in a long time.....

 

[Deleted member 21258]

Shot 91 in the morning and 88 in the afternoon.

Highlight was definitely sitting on the patio veranda, eating/drinking, relaxing, hidden from the slight breeze and in 14 degrees sun, lovely.

bring on the spring.

Absolute horror show, the worst I've played in 9 months. Shanks are back, lost count of the number of times I hit a great drive then a dreadful second. Amassed a grand total of 20 points, it was awful.

Back.....for now. Wait to Frag makes an appearance and has the hex over you again. Good shooting though and always pleasing to keep a six off the card. As our second is a par 5, it normally only lasts a hole, especially off the whites although I've walked off our par three first with six or worse

 

[Crazyface]

Clattered the ball miles off the tee, but couldn't chip or putt to save my life. Almost reached the green on 16 (par 4) off the tee ,the ball plugged about 10 meters in front of the green. Made a super 5 though! Summed my round up in one hole.

 

[louise_a]

11 hole comp today, the last of the winter, started poorly with a blob but then had 6 pars and a birdie on the remaining 10 holes for 25 points. I hope i can take this good farm into the 18 hole comps that start next week.

 

[Tashyboy]

Front nine rammel back nine me and a PP won/ shared the pairs with 24 points. both to score the on the par threes and the 18th. Nothing spectacular. So over the last three weeks coz Ave took a bit of a drag Ave won about £7 and been dropped 3 shots. ?
I told one of the guys who played and shared with us his 3ft missed putt on the 18th cost me a shot ?

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Not today but last Sunday, played The Brabazon. Carry only, which was very hard on the back. Truly shocking round finding water 8 or 9 times (surprisingly not on 18 though). Summed up with an air shot on 17 from the middle of fairway with a 3 wood in hand. My excuse was I was protecting my back

Seniors Stableford today. I was practicing on the putting green when I was hailed form the first tee, my time had been moved up one and I'd not bothered to check.
A couple of hasty practice swings then hit the most almighty fat about 4 yards into the rough, topped the next, on the green with my fourth and three putted for a triple bogey blob.
One point on the next and I was flying, not.
Managed to pull it back together so that at the turn I'd scored 18 but a succession of single pointers on the back nine dragged me back down and I finished on 88 for 32 points off 95%.

First time in the bag for the Forgan "made under license" Cash-In putter (1940s vintage I'm guessing) which was as solid as I'd expected, a funky grip on it too.
A shame the greens are still recovering from tining and sanding.
Did make a 2 though but that was mainly down to a lovely tee shot that pitched less than a foot from the hole and went 18 inches past.

 

[Imurg]

Decent round today
79 blows for 35 points..
Must be doing something right if 8 over par doesn't affect my index...

 

[richart]

4 under handicap after 11, and then the halfway hut pastie took affect. Three of the worst holes including a shank, a big, big fat, three putt and a lost ball playing safe with an eight iron. Last four holes were better and managed 36 points. Lovely playing in warm sun, ball rolling on the fairway, and greens a decent speed. Another week of this and course should be back in great shape.

Shocker. First medal of the year. Top of the first to set up an opening double bogey and it got no better. Greens had been cored and sanded this week and putting was an absolute lottery and definitely shouldn't have been used for a medal. I had a putt from a foot and it shot 45 degrees off the putter after hitting a hole and didn't even touch the hole. Farcical. Not excuse for my score as I played crap but when that happens it makes it a mockery

 

[HeftyHacker]

Another shocking start today - a triple bogey blob. I was 8 over after 6 and any pre round hope of me breaking 80 was realistically gone.

After those opening 6 holes i got my arse in gear and only managed to drop 5 shots in the remaining 12 holes. Ended up taking the split sixes win and somehow shooting 37 stableford points.

Driving was erratic again - cost me at least 5 shots today with recoveries- so it will definitely be the focus for the start of the lesson on Tuesday.

 

[Billysboots]

33 points in the monthly stableford. Fairly pleased with that in breezy conditions on greens which have been cored and dressed in the last couple of weeks.

 

[Crow]

Another Stableford comp and like yesterday's I had a decent front nine for 18 points but then fell away big time on the back nine, finishing on 29 points.

Driver not working so well today, including another huge chunk off the first tee and a chunk into the pond on the 12th for the first of two blobs on the back nine.
