Out with the Society at a very very soggy West Berkshire today.
Rained on and off most of the day except standing on the 17th tee and a squall came over and playing the last 2 holes was very reminiscent of West Surrey '24...
Couldn't really get going, hit some crackers, hit some honkers to scrape 26 points.
The back 9 should really have been closed - massively wet and soft.
Managed a couple of birdies including a 2 so won almost as much as the winner....who got 46 points and a 5 shot cut..that'll learn him!

I was a member there for a few years back in the early 2000’s, the back 9 was added from what use to be farmer’s fields, they’d always talked about improving the drainage etc and sad to hear it sounds like they haven’t done much.

Was the 5th playing over 600yds or was it shortened?

Played today, very wet but great fun.
A respectful 33 points for me.
My mate scored 40 points but can’t moan too much as he shot 6 under.
It was more like watching darts than golf with the greens so soft.

it was much shorter as we were playing off the Green Tees ( all others out of play) but still 540 ish
I had a game of 2 halves, 11 points on the front and 21 on the back for a respectible 32

Funny old game init

Played New Zealand Golf Club today. Tough, tight course with heather everywhere.

Shot a net 62, so very happy with that.

Shot of the day was from a water filled ditch, which I decided to play and not take the drop. 60 yards to flag and landed at 3 feet - wet but close
