I feel a big sense of de ja vue! Well done Murph! In the stableford yesterday I birdied the fifth to go one over - memories of my only eagle at the club the week before, when it went to rat sh+t on the sixth - yesterday I spanked one long down the middle into the wind - wedge left - thoughts enter my head that the ball is a bit above my feet, wind in the face, I should take an easy 9 but no, I decide to do a thin shank with mixed thoughts in my head and make a 6! 20 points on the front and I still only ended up with 35!!! It has been 3 months since I played to hadicap and all I could think on the 13th was that I haven't lost a ball today - Cooden memories creep in and the rest is history!!!!!!

So i am not the only one with negative thoughts racing through my head when i have a potentially good round going.
Had 30 points today with three no score holes so effectively played to my handicap for the holes I scored on. Two duffed chips, a sliced 4 iron and one poor drive cost me. Apart from that the ball striking was generally pretty good even if I still can't chip with any confidence and couldn't buy a putt. Still managed a mid-division (11th) finish so all in all I'm pretty happy. Much better than yesterday where I lost the plot on the back 9. Defintely a glass half full day today.

Murph I cannot think of any suitable condolences, that's so harsh. I hope you found your swing at the practice ground and things are looking up.

Nope. Couldn't keep within the confines of the practice ground. Hooks, fats, thins and massive, massive shanks. Must have lost 20 balls. Three holes ago I could play this silly game, now ?
Went out and played 18 afterwards, fine, nailing it.
Practice? What's the point.

I'm with you all day long.
No. Came home for some lunch post monthly stablefird and planned to get out for about 3.00 to find a domestic situation involving chicken wire and our lawn mower caused by HID who seems to be reeking havoc on any appliance she touches at the moment. Time I'd issued the last rights to the mower and taken it to the dump it was too late. Next chance will be the end of the month

Women and lawn mowers, not a good mix.

That said, the last time HID used the hoover she managed to fill it full of water. Some folk are not built for house work.
The logic was good. We've been having cats littering in the garden and HID did some research and apparently if you put the chicken wire up along the edge of the border for some reason they don't like jumping over it and stop using the beds. She put it up and used canes to keep it upright and had done a great job. Unfortunately she'd also cut several other larger pieces off and went to mow the lawn. She didn't see one such off-cut and ran over it. Cue mayhem and panic and she ran the mower straight of the edge of the patio and it came to rest on the remaining bale of wire, blades still running. It was a traumatic end for both the mower and the wire.
On the plus side no scrapings or any deposits.
