Your seasons highlights

[evahakool]

Thought it we be interesting to start a thread to see what everyone's seasons highlights were.

So I will start it of with mine,interestingly none on my own course.

Right at the top is my trip to the highlands culminating in a round at Royal Dornoch , started of at Fortrose where Patrick 148 kindly joined me for a round (thanks again Patrick) also played Tain,Brora,and Golspie. It was a real pleasure to play these courses and the people I meet could not have better,also twice when I played as a single I was invited to play through on every occasion .

Next was playing a senior open at Hoylte golf club in Sussex, a club set in beautiful countryside , it is only a short course with tree lined fairways ,quite tricky but a real joy to play,it also has one of best par 3s I have played ,simply stunning.

I will also add it was the friendliest club I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

Last but not least was my first forum meet at Cooden, grand job Smiffy does for organising such a good day out, made the day even better by scoring 20 points on the back 9 in the afternoon , but outshone by my brother ( Golfmmad) getting 46 points in the morning.

So what is everyone else's highlights for the season?

The forum trip to my place, Castle Stuart and Royal Dornoch was my season highlight.

I met up with some new and old faces from the forum and had a great laugh along the way. Saw some strange sights that weekend but none more so than Steve in a full kilt playing Dornoch.

Played some good and some bad golf this year and getting the handicap down to six was a bonus, now have a target of cat 1 for next season.

Was expecting H4H day would be right up there, it's interesting to note that all the courses I mentioned I never had a really good round nothing to bad just average I suppose, so it just goes to show you don't have to play your best to get the most enjoyment out of the game.

[NWJocko]

Been a good year if I excuse the quality of my golf!

Silloth and Southerners weekend was really enjoyable

Inverness trip was incredible for the golf courses, company and weather

Raised a load of money doing the Longest Day with Birchy, Qwerty and Junior (thanks again to those gents and all who donated :thup:

Won a medal in my first year at new club

Help 4 Heroes weekend was great including my first trip to Beau Desert on the way back

Playing Wallasey for the first time this weekend.

 

[Imurg]

Actual golf-wise the highlight so far was the day before H4H, playing at Cuddington and shooting 1 under gross for the back 9.
North Hants was brilliant, the whole H4H thang was, as ever, a blast -- including the Curry Night...
I tend to play my best golf from September to December, the game is pretty steady at the moment so hoping some decent scores come along to round off the year.
No wins, in fact a whole bunch of .1's but haven't been able to play many qualifiers this year for one reason or another.
As ever, a couple of poor shots and/or bad luck have blown my scores this year but a worst round of 85 is still better than many will ever achieve so its important to keep some perspective.
Quietly confident for next year.......

 

[mcbroon]

I've hardly played this year, so,highlights are few and far between. A 76 in a Wednesday medal and a .4 cut was the highlight of the comps I played.

The real highlight was H4H, though. A couple of days of great company, cracking weather and lovely courses. The golf had its moments but that didn't matter, really. I'll definitely be back next year, if Rick and/or Rich ever get their fingers out and organise the next one...

 

[Khamelion]

6 days of golf, starting on the 25th Sep with a round with my dad, lovely day, nice and relaxed in a buggy, good natter, not even thinking about golf, oddly enough, through a cracking weekend with rounds at Welwyn with ArnoldArmChewer, then Blackmoor with Rick, Rich, LiverpoolPhil, PokerJoke, Paperboy to name new forumers I met for the first time, Monday H4H day and topped off with a round at Tidworth Garrison GC and tour of the H4H tin hut and Tedworth House.

Just a brilliant 6 days of golf, great weather and great company.

 

[G_Mulligan]

[BTatHome]

Season hasn't finished yet .... and still two special comps left to conclude before the end of it

 

[Bound by convention]

Easily pleased high handicapper here.
Eagled a short par four.

 

[guest100718]

2 wins, a couple of top 3s and an ace.

 

[ger147]

1st ever handicap cut, got down to 15 at one point, won my 1st medal, had my 1st hole in one and had my lowest ever score of 78.

Also won the KoK qualifier in St Andrews and also played the Ailsa at Turnberry and Hillside at the KoK finals day.

Pretty good year for me.

 

[JustOne]

I've not golfed much, best score of the year is 2 over par which I've done 3 times, best one was probably at the forum meet at Cooden as it was in great company and I 'left a few out there'.

Doing the forum meet at Gainsbourgh (4 rounds over 3 days) is such a good laugh it'll probably be my season highlight for NEXT year.


Oops... won some silverware for the first time in 22yrs which is staring at me from the dresser That's right up there too!!

 

[RW1986]

A hole in one that I got in a beat the pro comp on the Edinburgh course at Wentworth in a charity golf day playing with a good friend and Herschelle Gibbs.

also playing golf with the Battleback golfers like RickG said was inspirational

 

[Jimaroid]

Breaking 80 for the first time with a 73.
Hitting a gross 81 on St Andrews Jubilee on Father's Day.
Being at the Ryder Cup.
A glorious 5 iron that I intentionally faded to 3 feet of the pin on the 14th St Mikes.
A drawing 7 iron to play against the left to right wind from behind an oak tree on the 17th Dukes to hit the green.
A 60 yard lob wedge slam dunk for eagle 2.
Sinking a pressure 10 foot putt to win a foursomes tie on the 21st hole.
Meeting more people because of a stupid game called golf.

And other than that I had to play a lot of rubbish golf to get these few hilights. Love it!

 

[needmoreclub]

Despite waiting to go into hospital for a knee replacement, i've managed to get back into cat 1 and season finished last Saturday. Very pleased to finish on 5.2. Very well done to RickG, what a season m8

 

[Lydo]

First season at a club.

Had a hole in one, in my 6th medal.

Came back from 4 down after 13 to beat a 12 handicapper.

Shot a 78 in a bounce game (on a par 65 course).

Won over £200 in prize money. For my hole in one, a magic 2 - 5 week rollover, and a 2nd and a 3rd place.

Bad points - I've only made buffer twice in competition, and my handicap has went up 2 full shots.
