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

Poor form continued today on the front 9 but luckily it was a game of doubles and me and my partner dovetailed OK to only be 1 down at the turn with neither of us playing that well. We played better on the back 9, we shot a combined -4 (2 birdies each and no bogeys) and turned the match around to win 1 up. First time in about 5 weeks that I didn't have to buy the pints so that was decent.

Not so decent was my Motocaddy trolley giving up on the 16th, motor is whirring away but the wheels won't turn even when lifted off the ground. Not sure if it's the motor or gearbox/axle that has gone and it has been making a noise for a few months now. Also not sure on the model year, I bought it in 2019 but it might be a 2017 model as the battery is square and the replacement batteries on the Motocaddy site for the M1 Pro are a different shape so not even sure if I can get replacement parts for it. Looking at the price of new trollies I might just need to get fitter and carry my bag. :LOL:

Had a quick look at the trolley today and it’s a 2017 model. Today the left wheel turns when off the ground but the right doesn’t and the axle isn’t turning either. When on the ground neither wheel turns.

When taking the wheels off the left axle is pulling about 4 inches out of the frame so I guess the axle/gearbox is goosed. They are £35 second hand on eBay or £55 new from Motocaddy so I’ve order a new one. We will see if that fixes it or not when it arrives.
 
Didn’t play but range session with Mrs M this evening using trackman and the first time hitting balls in over a month. Straight off the bat 3 shanks 🤣

Sorted it out though and hit some really good solid high draws throughout the bag and finding middle of the face with the driver, the dry drills I’ve been doing with a training club whilst away were starting to show improvement.

More importantly Mrs M had a great night, she’s starting to develop some good speed and asked me how she can improve her height/launch on tee shots. So made a little tweak to her set up, took a few shots to get used to it and boom! She hit new PBs on longest drives one after the other, her last one just tipped 201yds with rollout never her seen her smile so much. Though she got cocky and went to do it again and topped one 40yds but she did laugh at it 🤣 but was averaging about 180yds total by the end. She is starting to get the hang of pitching more as well and understanding what she is doing with regards to when she isn’t comfy over the ball.

Generally just makes me smile seeing her develop and having fun with it, especially when she took the piss out of me shanking 3 in a row 🤣
 
Was going along quite nicely this morning until the 16th, hit a decent approach from 200 yards out. Looked just short of a greenside bunker, walked up, no sign of it. Bizarre.

Blobbed the hole, ended up on 35 points, beaten on count back for the second time in five days. Frustrating but good to be playing well.

She will be giving you shots soon.😉
 
...I got knocked out of our Winter Singles KO - 3rd round match playing a lad (well 60-something lad) off 14 - so I was giving him 8 shots. Lost 4/2. And though I played well (only 3 over for the round) I couldn't match his 5 over 🤷‍♂️ He played really well and used all his shots to great effect :rolleyes: - in fact it was his best ever round. Happens.

What was nice that he said the match made him really focussed on his game - telling me that as he knew I was dead steady (we've played together a few times before), he also knew he'd probably lose if he was careless or took risks. I'll take the compliment as compensation for losing. (y)
