Corballis.

Scored poor, but happy enough as first time out testing many changes to game.
Wanted a change of scene. Also parts of my course out of play till march.

16 over, a quad on 3. Forgot to take my medicine twice.
Putting poor 34 putts.

But happy enough, a start, try to not work too hard on swing on course.

Strange - one of those days you walk off scoring awful , but know you are close to something coming right.

Out with an Aussie in am, know I will score better, know he will need some of my clothes, he is facing a 40 deg drop from his place.

What course has parts out of action till March?

That 3rd hole is a beautiful card/confidence wrecker- it says "come and have a go if you think your hard enough??"... And the house always wins!!!

FixdePitchmark · 23-01-2014 5:47pm

@ Dealerz.

St. Anne's ,

Fairways out, can't even chip around the greens, practice putting green out.

For the good in long run, but a pain at times. A full winter protection in place. Except greens.

3rd a great hole. One of the hardest in country. I think I've only ever had 1 birdie.
Par is a great score, a 5 a good score.

Trying to be smart cutting right hand mound, almost , wind was strong but, got over in rough, in rough, in rough , in rough, green 3 putts. Lol.

I normally try and bury my ball as deep as possible in hill on left and see nothing of the fairway!!

Was debating joining this year but think I would probably crack up and give up golf altogether playing that hole in a strokes comp...I've only played friendly rounds on Corballis.

Rikand · 23-01-2014 9:52pm

Didn't hit the ball great today, but for 15 holes I had 2 birdies, 11 pars, 2 bogeys. Just scored really well and made some really good putts and up and downs

finished with 33 points for the 15 holes

mafc · 25-01-2014 7:31pm

82 (+11) in horrible conditions today

8 pars
9 bogeys
1 double
Short game kept the score respectable
Driving wasn't great , only hit 5 airways

Ciaranra · 26-01-2014 1:55pm

Dont bother with score in conditions.play matchplay to cold to fill in cards

Did 9 holes at Ballyhaunis in 46 shots today

1 * 7 (silly shots)
2 * 6's
4 * 5's
1 * 4
1 * 3

More to come off hopefully and will have to get a handicap soon

I played ballyhaunis once and it's a tough course. Not many easy holes in it.

jdee99 · 26-01-2014 3:14pm

Its interesting thats for sure - never having played another courses I can't compare sadly

Rikand · 26-01-2014 8:34pm

EIGHT 3-putts for the front nine.... that's all that needs to be said, lol

CarefulNow! · 27-01-2014 7:17pm

Played yesterday in a mix of hurricane, sleet, rain and sunshine.. +4 for twelve but dropped 3 over last 4...

Content!

dan_ep82 · 27-01-2014 9:33pm

Played Navan today, front nine was closed and weather was stormy so didn't sign a card.

Averaged 2 over with some pars thrown in which was good for me considering the weather.

FixdePitchmark · 29-01-2014 2:07pm

Played Corballis today,

had a feeling it would not let me down and be open - as was very very wet on the way. The lads did well to keep open and moved holes to parts of the green that would not flood. Stopped raining about 11 and was a grand day then. I was one of the few out at all. Most headed in at start - don't get out too often so stuck it out.

Scored much better than last week.

Front (+4)
Back (+5)
Strokes (75)

Putts 31 (2-3 putts)

3 Doubles
2 Birdies
8 pars
5 Bogies

Even on hole 3 (arch nemesis) - was in good position just wrong club (strong wind) ended in Double bogey.

Anyway - a bit of progress . Know I can play better too.
Needed that one.

Rikand · 30-01-2014 4:51pm

Played Athlone yesterday and it was a perfect day for golf. And i played great too, until i got to the green, lol.

4 birdies, 4 pars, 7 bogeys - 30 points for 15 holes.

four 3-putts

11/12 FIR
12/15 GIR

game starting to come into good shape for esker hills next month!

Dossy · 30-01-2014 4:57pm

First outting of 2014 and due to the bad weather only got in 6 holes,
13pts for 6 Holes off 23
12pts off 18

1st hole pushed 3w abit then tried to rescue it and losted 2 shots, should have just played out and stayed safe, ill know next time, so an 8 on the Par 4

After that thou it was better each hole,
2nd DB
3rd Bogey
4th , 5th n 9th Pars

1st day out but still enjoyed the day even in the rain, feeling good about the rest of the year

Barnaboy · 30-01-2014 8:52pm

Finished work early today so took advantage and got a quick 9 holes in. Was rained out last Sunday so it was lovely to get out. Started great with pars on first 3 holes bogied next two then mysteriously lost a ball on the next, fading light played a big part, always hard to track the ball in those conditions. Another par then double bogied the last two.

Fairly happy with my play, caught a few heavy but I suspect that's more to do with the soft ground. Was a lovely afternoon, wish I could do it more often....

Ciaranra · 30-01-2014 9:58pm

Terrible 1 under after 6 holes ended up 4 over for 10 holes

scrubber72 · 02-02-2014 3:47pm

34 points of 17. 14 out 20 back. Scratched last and 5th. 30 points from 6th to 17th. Should/could of been so much better.

Dossy · 02-02-2014 5:27pm

36pts off 23 , scratched 2 holes aswell :mad:

On the other hand i was playing with my club handicap sec and he was joking during the round saying and your off 23 we'll see about that,

After the round he came over to me and said that he was going to cut me to 18 or 19,

I dunno should i be happy or pissed off in the sense that i did want to get cut to 18 by the end of the year but wanted to progress through Comps, now just feels like i was half robbed

You'll become a better player playing off 18 now.
What was today's score off 18? 31 at worst but may even be 33,34?

Aim for not having a shot one a hole (17 and below), it'll push you to improve.

Think he was having you on Dossy, doubt it very much he can cut you on observation over one round

Keano · 02-02-2014 5:59pm

He's only winding you up Dossy.

I'm fairly sure Dossy doesn't have an official HC yet.

Seem to recall he has given himself the 23!?

mafc · 02-02-2014 6:14pm

Gross 74 (+3)
11 pars
2 birdies
5 bogey's

Short game excellent today only 25 putts required, a few good putts made but thankfully a good day with the wedge left me with a lot of tap in's.

Dossy · 02-02-2014 6:16pm

I have an official handicap of 22.8 at the moment, i got my handicap in April 2013 and it was 24.1
Prob would have had around 30-32pts off 18

Sorry thought you were waiting on an official one. You seem to give your scores off both 23 & 18 sometimes?

If you had 36 off 23 then 31 is the minimum you had off 18.

The 42 would have been a minimum 37 off 18, time to adjust your goals

Ya im starting to think that but its winter rules at the moment and forward tee's,

Its just now im thinking i wont really see if im inproving now through comps getting cut,

I put up my score off both 23 and 18 because 23 is my official HC and 18 is my Goal HC

jokser250 · 02-02-2014 7:01pm

Playing of 18.0 and today I played in a 14 hole stableford competition and scored 25 points
For the 14 holes which I was delighted with as it's the first non team event comp since I made the change from kack handed to normal grip last year . Plenty to improve on but I'm delighted with the start .
3 pars
6 bogeys
4 double bogeys
1 scratch

Ciaranra · 02-02-2014 7:26pm

Played ten hole comp twice 2over each time

phkk · 02-02-2014 7:34pm

2nd round today in over 3months-not a lot of time with new arrival last July. Mother and baby gone visiting this weekend so was looking forward to two rounds but alas, weather ruined those plans. Was delighted to finally get out today round lunchtime- we only had one shower for 5mins. 'twas a nice day for golf if a little windy. Fourball was the competition and was I brutal for first six holes! Partner was playing unreal stuff and I finally got on card on 7,8,9,10,11,12&13. We dove tailed nicely and finished with 46pts. Hopefully we'll get a podium finish.

pinkdoubleeagle · 02-02-2014 8:20pm

1 under gross on the Monty course in carton today. Bunkers out of play and placing everywhere

Brewster · 02-02-2014 9:50pm

Best ever 9 holes today, 23 points off 16. 3 over, 6 pars and 3 tap in bogies from inside a foot. I'm building on my late summer form when I went from 23 to 16 in space of 5 weeks....

Wichita Lineman · 02-02-2014 10:37pm

Nice steady round today. 13 holes competition at Moate and I had 30pts off 15. Pars on 1,3,5,7,8,9,10 and 13 with a few near misses for birdies.

Very happy overall as I only had one ropey hole where I had a double bogey on the 12th.

Wombatman · 03-02-2014 11:09am

Out yesterday afternoon. Lovely weather bar a bit of wind at the end. Soggy in spots but greens were very good.

Off 18. Winter rules.
1 Bird
7 Pars
6 Bogies
3 Doubles
1 Scratch

40pts. Short game was good. Hybrids were outstanding. Driving cost me all my big scores, bar going into the drink on a par three with a fat 6 iron for a double bogey. Finished with a par on 18.

Wichita Lineman · 03-02-2014 11:15am

I just checked my 'stats sheet' and found that I equalled my best ever front 9 score of 37 yesterday. +3 for nine holes isnt bad at all considering that I was +5 after the first hole the previous week :eek:

Rikand · 03-02-2014 12:26pm

was -2 for 14 holes yesterday - 3 birdies, 1 bogey

and then the 15th happened

still 33 points for 15 holes and level par

12/15 GIR
11/12 FIR

Barnaboy · 03-02-2014 7:59pm

Had another good round yesterday. 40 points.

1 birdie
8 pars
7 bogies
1 double
1 scratch

Played really well. Putter was absolutely on fire (for the most part). Had 5 one putts in a row on the back 9 and nearly all of them were 12 feet plus!. However I did 3 putt three times, in all cases had a very long first and left it well short. Chipping was good as well and irons were really good. Driver was absolute muck though, not one good one all day.

Considering I put a ball in the lake on the 2nd and had an out of bounds on the 7th, it's something of a miracle that I scored so well!

Only a sign you'll be at single figures very soon. Scored 40pts with 2 bad holes is great in anyone's books. Keep her light!!!

dar_cool · 04-02-2014 5:34pm

Was grand, ive always found it to be in great condition all year round, rough was a bit swampy but grand when compared to most places this time of year,few of the members are a bit worried theres a meeting on Thursday to discuss the future of the club.

dan_ep82 · 04-02-2014 6:46pm

Another average day with the usual drop penalties that are plaguing me lately.

Handed the card in as part of my HC so I can't remember the exact amount of triples,doubles or bogey's but there was a good few of each plus 2 Pars and a Birdie.

Best shot of the day was on the 18th. 60° over 60ft of water to pitch 6" from the pin a roll in for Par after a drop shot.

mafc · 04-02-2014 7:21pm

Gross 79 today +8
10 pars
8 bogey's
Played really well & felt I should have scored better ...... a few putts and one chip hung in the jaws would definitely have helped.
Great to get out as forecast for the next few days is not great.

DuckSlice · 05-02-2014 2:54pm

Played yesterday and today.

Played 9 in claremorris yesterday, had 15 points for the front nine. Couple of one pointers. No playing on fairways tho was a bit if a bum.

Played castlebar today, course is in great condition, still winter rules but fairways were in play. Had 28pts for 13 holes. Was happy with how I'm playing, chipping and putting very well. Great day for it too, overcast but dry.

Wombatman · 07-02-2014 8:05pm

26 for 14 off 18.

3 pars
8 bogies
2 doubles
1 scratch

Drove like a clown. Putting not much better.

Dossy · 07-02-2014 11:12pm

15 Holes in Shannon today,

31pts off 18

6 Pars
5 Bogey
3 DB
1 scratch

The scratch was after a lovely 3w straight up the middle of the fairway and strong wind against me 130yds out, normally PW went up to 9i , over the back of the green to bogey area and 3 duff chips later putt on and another 2 putts - mare of a hole, shame

Other then that good enough scoring on a very windy day and didnt play well
