Youve seen the sour, now see the sweet!

Following on from Alchemy's thread on how he felt a little disheartened on a -1, I had a pretty good winter comp myself and whether its seen as bragging or willy wangling, I dont mind as this doesnt happen every day.
Started off with a pretty average par 4 on the first then 5, count em, 5 birdies on the trot with a bogey on the 8th and birdie on the 9th.
Was only a 9 hole comp but I have to say -5 gross for 9 holes was pretty much smile inducing. equates to 28 points also so hopefully have done well enough to win the winter comp. Roll on the 18 holer tomorrow!

I don't care what its called that is pretty hot stuff. I once went birdie, birdie, eagle but never put a run like that together. Well done

28 bloody points over 9 holes????

A great string of holes el bandido

 

[brendy]

I have been hitting the ball pretty well recently (before the 6 week paternity lay off) and have to admit that the 2nd hole wasnt playing its full length needing only a driver and wedge, drove the 3rd which I was happy with though.

I didn't realise old Byron was alive and kicking!

Oh, it was you!

That is OFF THE WALL mate......I'm well pleased for you......

"we are not worthy"......willy wave away......

Did the lottery afterwards too! My odyssey 2 ball was originally owned by a guy from our fourball who let me try it on a knock round, gave him 50 quid and havent looked back since, its a running joke that I should be paying commission for each putt outside 10 feet holed haha, my putting used to be atrocious.

Good scoring any day. Same again tomorrow ?

 

[RGDave]

If you'd played all 18, you could have taken the record off Christy O'C?

Hells Bells, you turned the S.I. 1 into a only-3-shots-needed.

I'm going outside for booze and fags.....

Dcb, 18 holes of the same tees tomorrow, basically the easier yellow tees with a couple of forward tees due to the winter weather.
18 holes is a different kettle of fish for me (and a lot of members here in Bangor) as the back nine is made up of shorter more technical holes including 3 tough little par 3's with tiers and a dogleg par4 si2 15th. Im just happy for the score over 9 as it should be enough to bring the bacon home.

You have every right to be happy that is tremendous golf regardless of the length of the course, which doesn't seem much shorter than some places off the whites to be honest- so hold your head high. To be able to convert the chances and keep putting yourself in the position to make the birdies is tremendous golf. Remind me what do you play off again...something low I hope!

Best of luck reproducing the form. That really is sweet- I don't think I have ever even got 5 pars in a row and I have numerously shot in the low 80's.

 

[brendy]

9 but honestly know Im better than that, I joined with an h/cap of 6 but with no practice and no time for lessons its drifted this past 3 years, this year is the concerted effort, if it doesnt come down this year, I dont know when it will!

 

[HarryMonk]

Great shooting that card would look good in the hand of Harrington or Garcia, same again in double helpings tomorrow please

 

[haplesshacker]

You get Girls Aloud for the night then!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

The way I'm playing I'd end up with the weather girls!!!

 

[Ken_A]

Holy smoke, that’s mighty scoring, well done big lad.
<lifts pint glass in recognition>

 

[Herbie]

That is a superb round of golf. Brag all day long, I know I would!

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Great shooting mate best of luck today.

 

[mattdeeks]

28 points over 9 holes, excellent stuff, I had 28 points the other day, over 18 though!!!!

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Awesome golf. Well done.
Not much more to say really.
Just awesome.

 

[TonyN]

Wow wow woo ehhh. That's just ace I am happy to pick up 2 birdies in a round. Never mind that feast of poultry.
I always thought you played off 1 for some reason.
