First round in new home club today. It was during the Open Singles, forgot to bring the HC cert so I just played in the group. Debating on just handing in 3 new cards as it was given as an option.
Placing everywhere, very wet in places and extremely cold and windy. Felt I played poorly.
38pts off 22 with 1 scratch.
6 Pars
6Bogies
6 Doubles or Worse.
bring your handicap cert next time if it's valid and win your way down to where you should be.
38 playing poorly... 0 -
I felt I could have scored better if I left the driver in the bag for more of the round.mighty magpie wrote: »bring your handicap cert next time if it's valid and win your way down to where you should be. 38 playing poorly...
I don't need a win to have a good round, don't want to hear the word bandit thrown around 0 -

First round of the year in the Spring league yesterday, and i shot my best ever score.
32 points over 12 holes (16hc). 3 over gross, which is about 10 shots better than i normally do. I was just hitting the ball really well, and my putting was great. Had 5 pars in a row, followed by a birdie (par 5) on the 7th. That putt felt good i'll tell ya :P) Had 3 bogeys on the last 4 holes, which was a little annoying, but hopefully i'll be in with a shot of my first ever prize
Slowing down my swing has helped me massively.0 -

First time holding a club in over two weeks which was quite long for me.
35pts 36pts in Ardee. Course was soft but not soggy which I was happily surprised with.
5 Pars | 6 Bogey's | 5 Doubles | 2 Scratches and 4 Shanks
Again a bit of a struggle, had a much better striking round in Concra on my last day out a few weeks ago.
Today my putting and chipping made the difference plus one or two quality shots. The rest were average to bad.
I'll get a low one yet.0 -

Again another 2 week gap with weather and work getting in the way.
37 Points
1 scratch
3 Pars
1Birdie
Too many bogeys and doubles :pac:
Happy enough with how I played apart from a few places, wind was about 20-25kmph so strong enough aswell.
Struck the ball quite well just wasn't getting it close enough on approach. Left 3 on the lip and another 2 or 3 that bobled away from the hole last second.
Short game was good enough but could have been better/closer.
To my shame, 3 shots to get out of a green side bunker on a par3. 190yds to the pin, put it a few feet past into the left bunker. Ball below feet, 2 tops.
Signed up for some match play Tournaments, first time giving it a go so looking forward to it.0 -
Got out late about 3pm and had my first full round of golf in 4 months and first one this year.
That is some sort of record for me in last 6/7 years. Have a building project going on, so - golf is last on the list at present. Real life before golf this year.
It is last on the list - but my last, is never last in a true sense - as I write about golf - watch golf - played golf and think about golf - even had a chat with the lad in the chipper about his golf.
Loved it - the sun was shining and was hitting the ball bizarrely well.
That crisp air, but slight radiant heat on your face - you only get this, at this time of year.
Started par - par - bogey (poor 3 putt) - par - bird.
I couldn't make sense of the 1/2 decent golf - But I had done something on a round I had never done before - listened to a pod cast ("West Cork" - great listen). Even putting and driving the ball I had this true crime story going on - very strange, considering most players insist on total silence.
Anyway turned 1 over and was only over as the short game was very unfit. On the back nine I started to think about score a bit - started feeling the walk a bit and slipped a good bit. Was 8 over in total - but was still delighted with that considering everything.
Have a few games in the "winter" match play to look forward to, over next 3 weeks and hopefully get back into the swing of things fully for May.
With the courses now open again and temperatures hitting that magic double digits - there is a bit of spring hope there. I love this early season when you still have the summer crowds away - the course is picking up and the ball is making it down the course at last.
I wont get to play "much" golf this year - but when I get out, going to take it as it comes - the good days - the bad - a few good birds and an eagle if one drops.
On a par 3 early on, I nailed a 6 iron - a low punch with a bit of draw spin. Was going at at the flag - holed the bird from 4 feet. You can be away from the game for as long as you like - but when you do that , you get that little pump in your body and head, that brings you back, gives you hope, for your game and the game we love.

There was talk of murder, unsolved crime and the perfect setting ruined. I might try the ear phones again - but maybe something a bit more tranquil 0 -

Hands low down the grip, a lot of weight on your left foot throughout your whole swing. Stand with the ball in the middle of your stance.

Sounds good - I deloft the club a good bit anyway so don't have to keep the left hand side thinking as much - but the shortened follow through will keep you on left foot.
I've another type of shot that I use in wind or to keep right hand side of course out of play.
Back of stance - but set up for a draw too with feet. I've worked on a more and more aggressive draw position and can get the ball to turn in a low draw. Very useful and can get unreal roll and good for a driving iron on a short par 4.
Yes it is nice to be able to shape it at times. When you pull them off they are some of the most satisfying shots to see a ball move towards pin in a direction.
When they go wrong it can be
Langer was a master of shaping the ball and won in all conditions.
It is worth looking at how much he is willing to change angle of body - I've tested this to crazy levels for fun.
Back in stance for draw and forward for fade was a thing I only got about 2 years ago - from You Tube - Luke Donald is unreal has a series on you tube - what that lad can do with a ball is bizarre.
Watch his master class is unreal stuff.
