I was absolutely awful, the only decent shot I hit didn’t camber down the slope like I expected and I ended up behind a tree stump

First Comp at Goswick today, Ind Stab, brilliant day, good company.
Blowing an absolute hoolie, links golf at its finest.
Highlight of the day was watching a young woman drive the 1st. She is off +2 though.
And I scored 21pts

Farleigh open membership event today at @Oddsocks old haunt. Conditions were tough - very windy, rain and a hailstorm. Shot terribly over 9 holes.
Course was in good condition, greens running nicely and it was an enjoyable few hours in spite of my golf.

Played our shorter 18 hole course with my brother and son in law. All the tee boxes have been re-seeded and the grass isn't quite established yet so we were off mats all the way round which made the course even shorter - plenty of par 4's were in driving distance so it was actually good fun. 3 hours to get round, played steady and our kid played out of his skin on the back nine to get through those holes 2 over gross.
The course is generally used by pay and players rather than the members - it must generate some decent revenue through the summer months, so the condition of the course isn't quite as critical but the greens were good, if not a little woolly, but they'll get cut shorter when the weather allows. I'm gonna start playing on this course more through the summer - great for an after work round.

Brutal course in the wind. Onwards and upwards

Match day today. Better ball competition. Felt I was ballast for my partner but retrospectively looking at it I probably wasn’t that bad. It’s hard when you are giving shots it sometimes influences the strategy. I will just try not to worry about it, next time. We won quite easily though.

Catterick GC today. Very impressed with the course. Lots of shape, most holes had something interesting going on. Greens had been tined and sanded so I couldn't tell you if they are good or not.
After yesterday I forced myself to slow my swing, hold it at the top of the swing. It worked
. Very pleased with the results, ball striking was so much better.
Chipping was decent. Part way through the round I went down the shaft a bit. That seemed to make the difference. Hopefully I can repeat it tomorrow.
Today was very windy, tomorrow is meant to be still. I'm looking forward to that. I've had enough of being battered by the weather.

The best weather I've played in so far this year was 2 months ago at Woodhall Spa....
Is it going to be one of those summers where it's glorious through the week then absolute dross at the weekend when I want to play golf?
