My club has decided to close the white tees mon/ Thursday inc.

I have always played the whites 6400 yds .
But off the yellows all the bunkers are in play and I get two less shots.

Just try for your best gross score - forget about how many strokes. Works for me.

I normally do.
I have arthritis and a cyst in my wrist.
So this season is going to be a struggle.
I fully expect to hit the hard cap in the next few weeks as I’m losing five of my best scores.

I might be dangerous off 12 but the way I’m playing and how much it hurts this could well be my last year playing.
Unless my doctor turns into a magician

Played our normal mid week event and shot 6 over for 33 points.....
tomorrow and on a much harder course (in my opinion) I will be off a 2 handicap.

I took the "Hammy" putter out for the first time today.

I wasn't expecting much as it's an onset face and is the opposite to current Zero Torque thinking; full on toe hang blade and all the weight behind the ball.

29 putts and 38 points to win the roll up, +2 gross on the back 9.

Where's that Zero Torque thread?

Greens coming back nicley after spring reno's , had a light top dressing of sand this morning which they brushed in. Rolled in 5 birdies but also doubled 9 and 18

Had the pleasure of @need_my_wedge's company on The Castle Course at St. Andrews.
The weather was astounding (by Scottish standards) and the course was in tip top shape having only been off mats for a day.
The greens are really tricky and miss in the wrong spot and a four putt isn't out of the question (we avoided such a fate thankfully!).
And Need_my_wedge certainly needed his wedge on occasion - but always got out!

Was a fun day Simon…. Really enjoyed it, hard not to on a day like today.

Edit:

Need to mention the Haggis & sausage rolls in despatches, top notch nose bag.

Played 9 holes tonight as it was parents evening so missed the tee off time with my playing partners. I played 1,2,3,11 and caught up to them coming down 13 so played 14 in.

Hit it much better, putted better and was +1 for the 9 holes.

Afterwards they all went straight off to watch the football so I had a very productive 45 minutes on the putting green. Hoping I’ve found something that might help.

Shot 6 over today on my second home club off a 2 handicap, it is a lot harder then the other course where I am off 3.

Bad news is I have my best 8 scores in my top 12.....so 9 rounds before I can go out, not good for a Sandbagger.

Lovely morning

Started rubbish with 3 bogeys in the first 3 then another on 6 - finished with a birdie on 9 for 15 points

Back 9 a little bit better with 2 birdies to finish with 35 points

Assuming you were posting as you played!

Played on a reciprocal at The Worcestershire today. Well worth the hour drive. Great mix of holes, views of the Malvern Hills, nice folk around the place too.

Great fun.

Old Course REVERSED for me today.

Just wow.

 

[rudebhoy]

First proper comp of the year yesterday.

Triple whammy - winter course now closed, so tees have moved back, 2 shot reduction in handicap kicked in after course being re-rated last year, and greens tined this week, so putting a lottery.

Played ok, but putting was awful. 27 points disappointing, but at least I got a 2, so not a total wipeout

Hope everyone else was doing the same!

After a few rounds of angst normality has been restored......
Glorious morning, quiet course, loads of run.....
36 points, 77 blows and a cut back to 5.8...
And that included a blob and 4 or 5 putts that lipped out...
That's better...

Got out yesterday evening with a friend whom I haven't seen since November as he doesn't really play much through the winter. Beautiful evening. A little breezy which allowed me to test my driver lofted down to 9 degrees, which I somehow remembered to do before we started!

First tee shot was bad, having just got straight out of the car, but other than that the experiment was a success and one I will continue with. Striking my irons MUCH much better, getting more confidence back with them. Shot 18 points for those 9 holes (I think) including a blob, and beat my mate one-up down the last. Happy days

Yeah its a nice track that! Very different to everything else around here and as you mention - cracking views!

Wow, who would have thought adjusting your driver loft would make you strike your irons better? Crazy game.

 

[Mandofred]

Absolutely sucked today.....maybe even worse than that. I was going to kill off tomorrows rollup time.....but with the quirky way of evil hell, I'm likely to play well tomorrow so......
