    Had a nightmare round yesterday , 107 in monthly medal . I hit my first shot into carpark , no damage to human or car thankfully but I should have just followed my ball and got back in the car . I could do nothing right and I even putted ball off the green in 17 th , just one of those days hopefully !!!!!

    76 Nett yesterday around Athlone in the last strokeplay event of the year.

    The Fog was unreal and by rights, the course probably could/should have been closed. It was dangerous enough and often times you had to walk a good distance up the fairway to make sure the green was clear. On the 8th hole, i had 160 yards to the green and had to walk up to 20 yards from the green to make sure it was clear. Unreal fog!

    Played pretty well, i was 3 over after 6 and could have been level par only for 3 putts that horseshoed out on me. The only real disappointment of the day was the NINE i took on the 7th hole. Hit one ball out of bounds and then with my provisional, hit it into the root of a tree and had to take a penalty drop.

    Told my playing partners after that i was going to shoot +1 for the remaining 11 holes and hit a run of 7 straight pars. Missed an 18 inch putt for par on the 15th ( LOL ), parred 16,17 and bogeyed the last. So if I had made that putt on 15, i would have done exactly what i told my partners I was going to do. oh well, these things happen. :)

    one good thing about finishing so well is that 9 might get readjusted to a 7, so my adjusted nett could end up being 74 which might get my handicap nibbled 0.1 or 0.2 as scoring wasn't good and lots of people retired early as I imagine the fog messed up their cards as much as anything else. If it goes 0.2, technically I will be off 4 when my handicap secretary updates the handicap list to reflect scores I brought in from society events, so i will be at my target for the year :D

    40 in casual round at home on Friday off 13
    39 in casual round at home on Saturday off 13

    Feeling the love. By some miracle got the pass of the Missus to play in the Sunday competition late Saturday night. Booked the only open early slot and had a feeling I could do something.

    33 in competition at home on Sunday off 13.

    Couldn't see your hand in front of your face for fog. Scratched the first after a hooked drive. Missed three putts from inside three feet. Starting to hook my hybrids, my go to clubs this year. Should have stayed in bed.

    Worried about the hybrids now. Number one priority at the range this week.

    Was cut 0.1 in the end. Standard Scratch 75 and because of Adjusted gross, i was brought under the mark.

    78 around Tullamore (8 over) - happy enough considering I had 2 doubles from 130 to 140 yards out. Great course - not too bad to play for your first time out - but a couple of doglegs that it would be nice to have played before.

    Glad I put together a good 18 as felt it was there for me for last month. Nice finish to year - but know I have plenty more of easy shots to improve on.

    Nice track tullamore and does be in Lovely condition. Nice mix of holes.

    31 pts today - with Ryainer

    He played a stormer - in tough conditions - he should have won it.

    I had a scratch on first and last - unusual for me there.
    Had rather unbelievably - 11 Birdie putts - including easy ones on index 1 and 2.
    Made none. And actually happy with putting - most on line.

    So will be back - couldn't have scored worse
    Hard out there today - enjoyed it.

    Am am today in cregmore, galway.
    Don't know where it came from after 2 rounds of 26 but had 40 today with 3 scratched. Was 1 under after 6. 1 over after 9.
    The 3 scratches came on back nine on 13,15&17.
    Putter was hot and so to was driving. Not playing for a fortnight but would gladly tee it up right now.

    34 points in a society outing in a windy Moyvalley today .

    Gutted is an understatement . I'd 21 on front 9 .
    And was flying till the 16 where I managed to scratch the last 3 holes . And what's worse 38 won it and a 36 came 2nd .

    On a positive note for the first 15 holes I played the best golf I ever have .

    And the answer was "no"! Ah well, the 44 stands for last week, won Presidents prize by 7. At least now I know I can do it. Really windy today. That's my excuse for this week. :) Nice to end the season on a high, anyway. May get one more good score in yet....

    24 points in a windy slade valley. I couldn't hit the ball out of my way on the front 9 for a measly 8 points. 16 on the back including two penalty shots so was a lot happier with that.

    Iron play was terrible. I may as well have been using shovels given the amount of digging I was doing.

    Played Old Head Links Kinsale wednesday and oh my god what a course, amazing place....it is most certainly a Bucket List course :D

    Wind was very strong, more then normal i was told so took getting used to, had to play alot if not all of my iron shots low, even made me think of playing a low chaser shot on a normal day....

    Was a great day and ended up with 36pts off 12 , first time playing to 12 since getting cut and with the conditions the way there were was very happy despite missing a simple nuf Par putt on 18th to finish with 37pts

    Only issue was leaving putts short again.....missed 2 birdie chances n 1 or 2 Pars by been short....pace isnt bad most of them are short few inches worst case a foot

    36 off 5 today. Happy with that because conditions werent the easiest to be fair. Hit 11 greens but couldn't manage a single birdie which was annoying and held me back from a really good score. I couldn't say I putted badly though, I had no 3 putts and I didn't miss a single putt inside 5 feet just I didn't hole anything outside of that range either.

    Still though, my ball striking and overall game was good so I can't complain at all but would have been nice to have got one last small cut before the winter rules come in.

    Only a casual round but game finally clicked after two really dodgy months. Played exactly to handicap, 85 strokes off 13. Doesn't sound too exciting but trust me after the last two months this feels like a competition win! Could and should have been much better. Started with 4 pars, double, birdie, par, bogey, bogey for a +3 first nine. Ball striking was generally excellent and putter on fire. Gives me a new lease of hope again!

    32 points off 17 in Mitchelstown yesterday morning. 6 points walking onto 7 so poor start with 2 scratches thrown in there.

    Hadn't played much in the last month but put in 2 hours on the range Thursday evening. Really believe this is a game of constant repetition any break shags up my game completely, to the point where I honestly don't know where the ball is going to end up standing over it.

    Can't imagine the hours a single handicapper puts in to get and stay there!

    29pts Friday at home. Putting crisis over that last few weeks. Don't think it is just the winter conditions. Mainly a confidence thing I feel. Going to work hard on the putting over the winter.
