Social evening of golf this evening with Shaunac93. Played 12 holes after work, first time in 2015 (woohoo!). Played Mahon, not a bad spot at all, some lovely holes. After a dodgy start, the straight out of the car onto the 1st tee syndrome, settled down nicely. For the second round in a row played the final 6 holes in -1. That's a standard I could get used to
Weather permitting, out again tomorrow!0 -
Thanks again for the round yesterday evening barnaboy. 12 holes in an hour and a half as a 3 ball is the kinda golf a love  although the last two holes I felt a little like Ian poulter at the players championship 
Mahon is a lovely course albeit a quiet hilly but that makes for some fabulous holes esp the par 3 4th, 100m to green but off an elevated tee of approx the same height, looking out on the river Lee behind. Class  Thanks again for the round yesterday evening barnaboy. 12 holes in an hour and a half as a 3 ball is the kinda golf a love although the last two holes I felt a little like Ian poulter at the players championship
Personally I started off ok in that I missed par putt on the first after nice chip on, good drive on the second and decent second shot then the chipping shanks started again. Thought I got rid of them yesterday morning but obviously not. Struggled on although hardly hit a green again until the 10 hole which was quiet frustrating but then last 3 holes I played ok considering think I was +2 for the 3.
Happy off the tee and most of my irons just need to built up some confidence with the wedges. Out again this morning in Birr if this frost clears hopefully wedges don't fail me again.0 -

Saw a slight improvement in my game today but still a long way to go if I wanna make it to single figures.
Birdies: 1
Par: 4
Bogies: 9
Doubles: 2
Worse: 2
FIR 50% Miss- 4R 3L
GIR 50% 2R 1L 2lng 2s
Putts:36
Looking at the positives after a week of shanking every chip I hit 8 lovely chips today and only 1 bad one but that's because I let the bunker get in my head. Sanded and hollow cored green made putting very hard even 4 footers. Although the 30 points don't show it I did hit some lovely shots just need to get it all to come together a bit more...will be ready by the time tullamore comes around 0 -

Great to hear. I knew yesterday was a bit of an off day for you, could tell from the swing that you are a serious golfer. And more importantly you solved the shank problem, welcome back 0 -

Played 45 holes since 11 o clock y-day morning..mixed results tbh started off both days well with a few pars, couple birdies and bogies.
Crashed and burned after about 7 holes in tullamore with charlieIRL yesterday but had the craic, which is much needed every now and again.
Finished up with 34 points this morning at home, 21 on front and only 13 on back
Should really start pacing myself but it's just to much of an additive game
Out again in morning with AlxMorgan in cork and looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll see a bit of sun, have had enough wind and rail and hail golf to do me for a good while 0 -
Had a very mixed round of golf with Alxmorgan this morning in cobh.
Started off with a triple bogie on the first and though "Oh no here we go again, its going to be one long morning". However to my delight i went on and parred the next two hole, obviously i got ahead of myself and before I could even contemplate a decent round the golfing gods too action and I had another triple on the 4th. The rest of the front 9 was up and down, hit some nice shots only to ruin a good score with a duff or other silly shot.
Then came their signature par 3 10th hole. A 122yard shot onto an island green and to make matters worse there was 5 green keepers working on the green as we stood up on tee box.
Unfortunatly Alan found the drink and it was my turn. Considering I had hardly got 5 iron shot airbourne all morning i didnt know what to hit so decided to stick to my guns and pulled out my 8iron. Two thought ran through my head "There is no water!,Keep your head down" So the kind greenkeepers kindly stood back and let me hit, here goes nothing a thought. Swung at the ball anyway at to my delight it took off up into the blue skies of cobh and i watch it closely as it started to decent to the little green below and amazingly stuck to the green 6ft from the hole A got a little cheer and a clap from the greenkeepers and all (These professionals are living the life getting praised for every shot they hit, talk about a confidence boost). So i strolled on down over the bridge and to my ball and sank the birdie putt. Happy Days.
Should have packed up and went home after the 10 because once again golfing gods didnt let me get too cocky and the rest of the back nine continued much like the front so good shots followed by some very bad ones!! I did manage one more birdie on the par 3 15th. At the end of the day i finished 12 over nett which it pretty chronic no matter what way you look at it. But i could pick out some positives.
Played 10 of the 18 holes to my handicap or better so if i could just sut out some of the doubles and triples i'd be doing ok. Still a good bit of work to be done on the swing change but it has only been less than a week
Short game has improved alot still a bit to go also. Have gone from sometimes near 40 putts a round down to 32 with only 2 three putts one of the things I am most happy about (Go cross handed if your struggling with putting you wont regret it . Was a lovely morning for golf and the views in Cobh and the course itself were fantastic, seriously contemplating student/distance membership after today.
So Overall
Birdies: 2 FIR 38% (less than normal but was poor off tee, topping alot of balls)
Pars: 2 GIR 22% (Always poor and needs to improve)
Bogies: 7 Putts 32 (1.8 per hole, which is improving)
Doubles:3 Scrambling 7% also getting better
Worse:4
Game golf is going to help me too Day one was a success and I remembered to tag it most of the time and was very easy fix up when I got home as I used golfshot to keep sats (swear i'm not a slow golfer even with using all these gadgets). Have 4 night duties in a row now so no golf for me til next monday Until then, thanks boards for letting me vent 0 -

Was a class shot under pressure after seeing me put it in the drink and having an audience.
And repeated the feat on 15. Nicely done 0 -

Loving the reports here these days - writing quality is improving around here
"Benice" - please post more rounds , you have perfected the tone of the anguished golfer in victory and defeat. The most painful brilliant 75.
I'm on a break at the moment - so when I hit, the most unreal, back to Celtic Tiger days traffic on M7/M9 area.
I was in car going, will I just sit here and get frustrated or play golf.
So Castlewarden is the perfect motorway golf course, there should be a guide like the Michelin in a way.
I get lazy on links courses - I hit putts from well off green - I get ball around course without any shape - a low mill. I get away with just powering sand based divots. I can putt better on Links too. Strange to say that - but It could be just mental.
So I'm trying to keep parkland golf as part of my thinking and practice - just be ready for it. It is a different game in my opinion . Well a different game for me.
I like Castlewarden , a very sensible layout , all in there , great greens , different shapes to holes.
When I get there - I see 4 lads from boards - yes, 4, know their Username and real name - that is sad, very, or now becoming an uncomfortable virtual reality.
Course holds up very well - but the rain it has been exposed to has made it very soft in walking areas.
So - didn't know what to expect off the tee - and hit a few draws - nice as was needed on certain holes.
1 bad hole - bad chip , finished 4 over (for 9).
Putter not working well again, not horrible just not getting them in. But when you stop working on something it slips.
Anyway - great day for golf - hopefully the weather has turned , it was better than a traffic jam.
I hope there is no golf courses near me next week.0 -
