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

dan_ep82

Casual round in Headfort New this evening.

I forgot my trolley cart so had to rent one then forgot the card so until I match the scores I wrote down against a card I'm not sure exactly how I done but went round in 83 strokes

1 drop shot
A good few pars
2 doubles I think

Irons were average. On target but slightly out the toe on some hits, some good ones too
Driver cost me a drop on the 12th but came decent in the end if not what I'd like
Short game and putting was really on form

Delighted all in all, now to bring the same to a comp

38pts in open singles, practice is starting to bed in. Alignment problems have been killing me.

Its in great nick at the minute, they cut the heavy rough down a bit in places, now if your ball goes in you have a chance of finding it.

Greens are good as are fairways

Some of the bunkers could do with better (stones) or more sand I think

Sounds good. Looking forward to it. Most courses struggle to maintain good bunkers these days so never too bothered about that. I haven't played there in a couple of years so dying for another crack at it again.

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

Well I got down to 6 about 3 years ago and since then I didn't play much at all.

This year though I made a promise to myself to get back playing a lot of golf and it's going well so far.

My goal by the end of September is to get down to 4, and so far I'm right on track to achieve that! Just a bit more fine tweaking and should be flying!!:D

Quarter final foursome match last night. Got beaten on the 20th hole. Very close all round, playing against 5 & 9 handicappers.
We won the 18 to square the match & my partner missed a 2 footer on the 19th for the match. We lost the 20th.
Overall, delighted with how far we got & we went out with a fight.
Foursomes was something I was not keen on but now think it's a tough enjoyable sequence.
Went to the range this afternoon to work on my weak points so hopefully the changes I've made will realise for tomorrow's round.

87 strokes off 12 in Castleisland Scratch cup. Was happy to be out in 41 which included 3 x 3putts. Was in the hunt until I doubled both 15 and 16. Couldn't get the ball to the hole all day when putting uphill. Drove a few past when putting downhill. 35 putts.

Pretty frustrated as I think 82/83 will prob win the intermediate as it was playing tough. Hoping everyone else had a nightmare and I beat CSS, but buffer I'd say

Galway Bay yesterday in Friday Open. 30 pts. Not feeling any love with the putter. Rained from start to finish. Driving still bugging me, a few good and a few awful.

28 points in galway bay. No real interest playing today. Everything was meh.

92 points in a four person open in Headfort Old.

Got on the card a few times with some pars and a bogey on a low index. 2 doubles I think. Partners were playing great hitting birdies every now and then

Didn't do too bad but the weather was horrible, the front 9 was the worst. We couldn't get near a full swing for fear of the club flying from the hands, wind was up quite a bit aswell.

Such an up and down week .

from good to shocking to average to sublime.

Maybe practice pays off. Felt a bit down with my game.

So instead of watching golf this evening milled around 14 holes in Corballis.
And was 3 over.

Rare Bird on 17. Decided to mill a PW and try hold top level 6 foot Bird.

So happy ending to week. A bit of hope from that.

A good bit in fact.

No joy in the captains prize final 9 holes this evening. +. 5 net this evening. Pared the first four but a double bogey on the index 18 took the wind out of my sails. Happy with 105.5 net for the 27 holes off 13 but will be just outside the prizes. All aspects of game were OK but no spark when I needed it. Next year.

106 strokes in Grange Castle this afternoon. First time playing in a few months. I was atrocious for some holes but towards the end I started playing somewhat well. Playing there again tomorrow so hopefully can continue from the last couple today.

Wasn't 100% that was you till I had nearly driven past you in the car park Dr R.

32 points off 15 there earlier.
Was playing some really good golf but 4 scratches put pay to any chance of a cut.
Disappointing really as 3 were from great positions and the other one from a topped iron from the tee after leaving the driver alone... For safety

Bad enough conditions out there this morn. Feel there's another few shots out there for me.

I thought it was you but similarly wasn't 100%. I had a putt for par on one hole, and walked off with a triple bogey. A mixture of stupidity and lack of concentration.

I was very impressed with GC. I'm looking forward to playing it again today.

Came second, got bet by a point!

* First place was disqualified so 1st place after all

36 points off 12 in Tralee yesterday in an exchange day. Turned with 21. Played some great stuff on the front in pretty windy conditions.

Started the back with 2 doubles. Steadied the ship after that with a 5 on index 1, followed by two pars. Bogeys from 15 on.

Positives: 30 putts, didn't miss anything inside 5 feet. Battled well after the two doubles.
Negatives: Didn't get much luck on the back 9. Hit the fairway bunkers on 11 and 18, both just barely wandered in. The pace of play slowed down a lot on the back 9 and I found it a bit hard to stay focused. Over 5 hours for the 18 holes.

Happy enough to finish with 36, it could have been a lot worse. Outside chance of a cut and a prize, fingers crossed.

Edit: 37 won it. I was 5th because of my poor back 9. Happy enough with that. Not sure what the CSS was yet

Why were they disqualified?

Slicemeister

75 nett in the captain's prize on Saturday. Poor opener had to play a provisional having lost my first in low sun knowing it was in play but couldn't find it. Triple bogey start followed by a double tap out of bunker on 5 for another triple. Turned 8 over.
5 putt on a tricky par 3 16 trying to ram in a bogey putt downhill, missed the hole completely to finish further away than my tee shot, triple bogey again....
3 putt on the last for bogey where par would've seen me into playoff and the buffer.
Plenty of pain with the putter but happy with the way I stayed in the round :-/

zuutroy

35 points off 18 in my first ever competition. Was out in 20 and looking towards a cut but wasn't to be. 7 pars but found the OB/Water a shocking 4 times.

Not 100% sure, didn't really get told apart from a vague answer, something about fees.

Would rather have won outright, would hate to lose myself on a technicality.

Does anyone under stand what o.l.9 means ?

Dr.Rieux

105 strokes in Grange Castle. Beat yesterday's score by 1. Was up on myself by 5 at one point but three disastrous holes, 7th, 8th and 9th scuppered that. Had 7 6's in a row from 10-16 which was very disheartening. That included a 6 on the par 3 11th.

3 wood from the tee was extremely hit and miss, a few times I was catching it still on the down swing and watching it hop only a handful of yards. 5 wood from the ground to recover I was doing well with. Absolutely useless near the greens though.

There are plenty of shots out there that I can get rid of with more concentration I think.

judosean2005

39 points off 22 in Ballyneety.89 shots
pars 5
bogues 8
doubles 4
scratch 1
plus 4 added H/C shots.

So there seems to be a trend happening with my golf.
If i go for a round with buddy ill consistently get between 33-39 points.
yet when i enter Open singles. i wont get any higher then 25.

Maybe some day it'll all sync up.

Looking good for a decent cut with Clause 19;)

Nice playing.
