How did you score in your last round?? ... 2014

digginz

37 points of 28 yesterday in Grange Castle. First time I beat my handicap on a full 18 so I'm delighted.

3 Pars
7 Bogey
3 DBogey
5 TBogey

I've found some very good consistency with my irons so delighted with that.

I left lot of shots on the green and need to work on long putts in particular.

I hope this round will liberate me mentally as I know I can play much better than that I just need to deliver now

Defnitly best round of the year, playing fourball with a regular playing partner. both of us playing of 8, finished 45 points, -4 gross. Six birdies and two bogeys.

The work I've been putting in the last few weeks paying off, with some of the best ball striking I've hit in years. Shortgame still letting me down though, and that is leading me to the thread I'm about to make

Results just announced and we came second, lost by one.

Gutted, missed really makeable birdie chances on 16 and 17 from within 8 feet. GRRR

Just further cements my decision to go get a super stroke grip

40 points (84 blows off 16) today in Grange Castle's Open.

Only my third time getting into the 40's and it was good enough to earn me runners up spot.
Delighted with that as it's my first podium in the 1 and a bit years there.

Played pretty solid golf all round, some cracking shots but some not so good.
2 birdies
6 pars
8 bogeys
2 blanks

Birdie on the par 5, 18th, to get me my 4 points of cuttage.... nice!
Flirting with 14 now... I'm gonna allow myself a BOOM

27pts off 20 in headfort new open

Scratched four holes.
One I was on the green in 3 (nearly two) and putted myself out of points
Another I couldn't find the ball after a drive even though it was only 20yds off line. Group pushing behind so didn't go back.
The other two I can't remember lol

1 par, on the 18th.
Loads of bogies and some doubles.

I was actually playing quite well until the end, just got very tired, I put it down to still getting over a virus, the sweltering heat and the half day of work before the round lol

On one hole I played a driver into OOB (still made a bogie) where I should have played a hybrid otherwise I think I played quite smart. I had 2 bad drives near the end but the rest were quite good and long. Find I lose my technique the more tired I get

After a disaster in Gowran it was important to get right back up into the saddle. Finished even in the vpar comp on Sunday with some nice consistent play. Then just this evening I won my match in the club singles 1up. It was a tight match in which I was giving him 4 shots. I shot 83 with some missed putts so happy enough

Haven't posted here in a while been busy at home.....
Anyway played Dromoland today and haven't played in 3 weeks didnt help...shocking round of 94 strokes
Nearly got sick all over the place
All the hard work getting to 14 is slowly been undone :mad:

Poker Face

40 off 9 on Sunday. Down to 7.8 and now in ESR territory for the first time since it came in :-)

FixdePitchmark

80 strokes around Naas. A bloody scorcher
Awful start of 5 bogies in a row.

Very poor around the greens all day. So happy enough to play last 13 - 4 over.

Overall - much work needed on short game. Have a month or so to get it right. Couple of events in September on Parkland courses I want to play well in.

Still don't feel that far off - but hard work being 100 yards out and not getting pars , never mind birdies.

Tones69

35 pts ( off 6) today in singles. First 10 holes were super golf only 1 over. Had a bogey train then. Putting is driving me mad at the mo. Stuck it to 8 ft on 17 for bird and only made par then hit an 8i into the par 5 18th after a murderous drive and 3 putted from 25ft. V Happy with long game and irons are nice,just putting is streaky and stopping me from getting lower right now, good scores comin!

34pts around carrick this morning off 16. Had 3 birdies on bck9 finished well, the greens are so quick right now my putting weakness was on show bigtime.

80 gross yesterday evening
Nothing exciting 9 pars, 9 bogey's
Putting & chipping could have been better

Class course - Parkland not my thing so trying to get out a bit more and keep the ball in play. Try get up into the higher 30 pts.

Getting there but slow. Even around the green a little different. Hitting the ball at the flag a new feeling.

mafc,

Most of us would give our right arm for a 'nothing exciting' round!

Out to Laytown & Bettystown on a scorching day with Eldon from boards yesterday afternoon.

Was relatively calm & really hot. I've played very little links golf in my time (corballis is the only coastal links I've played before, played a couple of inland links like moyvalley & carton but that doesn't quite feel the same)

My GPS was dead when I arrived. I know realise how much I rely on it for club selection.

Had 86 strokes, which would have been 32 points for my handicap, so happy with shooting overall on a course I'd never played & trying to play shots I'm not used to attempting. Was trying to hit in a lot more low bumping iron approaches. Was hit & miss, but a good experience either way.

Thanks to Eldon for company. For a guy new to the game of golf I think you're already showing pretty solid technique & have the makings of a very good golfer.

Found the course a little repetitive on the back 9 with a run quite similar length similar shaped holes from 12-15 but still was a joy to be on a course on a day like yesterday

Ciaranra

Net 68 first round in captains 8 over. Ball striking is very good 3 putted a couple and short game not so sharp

Gross 84 :mad:
6 pars
11 bogey's
1 double
Ball striking poor, had a couple of shanks and a cold putter

NapoleonInRags

Second good round in a row this morning.

40 pts off 11:

9 pars
5 bogeys
2 doubles
2 birdies

More than likely looking at an exceptional scoring reduction too, so handicap will have gone form 13 to 8 in a week!:eek:

shaneon77

Had 39 points (76 strokes off 7) and am raging. Dropped 4 shots on the last 5 holes. Missed some simple putts and should really have had a lower round. Some really solid stuff mixed with some awful stuff. i was level par playing my second on the index 1 and hit a bad shot. I was ruined after that. My nerves really went. That hasn't happened me for a long time. Is this a good or bad thing? are my expectations too high?

FixdePitchmark

78 around Cahir Park.

Solid but no magic.

Good round coming. When ?

WHIP IT!

If anybody wants me I'll be in a dark, dark room... bawling my eyes out... I Hate golf sometimes :(:(
