Absolute shocker today - ball all over the shop - in, behind and agains every tree - pulling slicing.
Was a bit tired - but for feck sake.

29 points - out to 7.

Hopefully a once off - but in the back of your mind you are there - is that my game :eek:

Wouldnt worry about it we all have them days dude. Just seen u put up 6.6 now. 6.5 would have been 7 so u must have been 7 before this comp today?

Was, have been going out for a month or so. Sort of 34 - 33 - 35.

So only right to go up to 7.

Hopefully I have a good round soon. Playing many open comps away from my home course. Not sure what sort of impact this is having on handicap . Typically upwards - but I like testing myself away.

Anyway - we all have days like that. We need them for motivation sometimes too.

Aahh no - not down at all - going up.

Hopefully I'll be a bandit off that - hitting Corballis Friday - extra shot in the bag

Jaysus Tones - the world seems to be against you since your return. I believe you on your distances btw.

You need to play more links man and get away from the midlands a bit more.

Links is good for the soul man. :D


Also good for swing speed - mine is 114 mph :pac: , but feck all use in the trees.

Played Fota yesterday and what a course, 1st time playing there and it was a great experience, greens were hard to read and were unreal dry so ball was running for ages...
Ended up with 31pts off 14 , Happy Enough since never played there before

4 Pars , 10 Bogeys , 3 DB , 1 other

Slicemeister

32 points around Dundrum yesterday. 3 scratches thrown in, twice balding it out of greenside bunkers to scratch both holes. Course in great Nick but my God there wasn't only a shovel-full of sand in each bunker! Hit the buffer feels like a win:-)

Played the open singles at Waterford Castle again today.

Had 40 pts again off of 6.

5 Birdies
6 pars
7 bogeys

Again the 3 putts killed me. Had 4 of them today :rolleyes: Need to focus on my long putt distance control!!

Also made a good few silly mistakes. An under par round was right there for the taking!!

If standard scratch is 38 I should be down to 5.3! My lowest yet!

To be honest it doesn't sound like you should be anywhere near 6 - ?
Scratch - any background ?

Had a half decent round there last night playing 18 hole open singles with Barnaboy and another member. Few very silly mistakes cost me the win unfortunately - first was on the first hole where i hit a decent drive, pulled my second into a bush and managed to hit the ball with my foot while seeing had i a shot at it or take an unplayable. Managed the let that anger go on the second tee box but hit a hazard with a slightly pulled tee shot but from the drop i hit probably the best 7 iron i have ever hit in my life, was laying up as i was 167m out and managed to land the ball on an elevated green pin high!! Made a balls of the 9th Par 3 for the first time ever and let the frustration effect my tee shot on the 10th but other than that I could have nearly parred every hole!!

1 Birdie
7 Pars :eek:
5 Bogies
3 Doubles
2 Scratches

39 points and enough for second place and a cut, my best ever singles result!:D

bicboy6666

31 off 16.. scratched first 2 managed 14 on the front.. driving let me down which is normally my strong point but managed to roll in a few puts but missed a decent amount as well. ball striking with my irons were top notch though some poor course management let me down.. playing tomorrow any tips to help me warm up? felt a bit unprepared going on tbh rushing at the end didn't help either

34 points around Corballis off 7.

3 bladed wedges and a fat wedge from perfect positions - that was in my game a while back and is back - Horrible shot to be worrying about. Funny thing.

Poor from 6 foot too.

Anyway - not bad considering - but very fine margins from playing ok golf.

One positive - got a 2 on 13 and was 95 cm - maybe won closest the pin.

Dossy

Played Open In Douglas Yesterday

Had 35pts off 14 and could have had a big score, had 5 proper Birdie chances from inside 12ft, got one and lipped 3 (only positive is that they lipped due to going for them)
Then had a horrible 3 holes with only 1pt from the 3 of them, round looked set for a .1 so i set a goal for last 5 holes to try get home level for 35pts
I must admit i let a few F's out of me when this was the only way to get into the buffer but never the less went at it and result was:

Birdie on index 1 , Par , Par , Bogey (chip short) , Par on 18th after only having 141yds left from driver on Par 5, bad bounce left into bunker, good short out and lipped the birdie tap in par....was massive confidence boost to know i can pull it out of the bag, i know it was probably one of those mad rounds but still

1 Birdie , 7 Pars , 6 Bogeys , 1 DB , 3 TB

PARlance

33 off 15 in Corballis.

Should be happy with that but 4 scratches thrown in, 17 & 18 included. Bloody hate those fn holes
In about 10 attempts I think I've scored 3 points from those 2 holes. So just -37 off level 2's

I'll get the hang of 18 yet, 17.... Maybe not.

Was flying on the front with 19 but 14 on the back was a shame.
Think/hope it might be my first buffer there.
