We take on my brother-in-law and his brother in the next round. A family grudge match!
I was once again back to scratch, my brother in law getting 6 shots off me, his brother getting 12 shots and my dad getting 16
Played them on Saturday morning and we got out to a tough start as my brother in law was on fire. They were 2 up after 6 holes thanks to two birdies and some incredible putting from him.. He holed 4 putts from outside 20 feet in the first 6 holes. 3 for halves and 1 for the win.
Myself and dad finally got on the board on the 7th when we both had nett birdies but they won the 8th with both having par with shots.
The 9th could have been the turning point of the match. Par 5 - My brother in law lost his ball and his brother was in trouble off the tee but managed to scramble his way onto the green in 3 but about 40 feet away. I was also on in regulation, 10 feet away and my dad on in 3 (with a shot) and 25 feet away. Our opponents got down in 2 which left me with 1 putt to win and 2 putts to win for my dad. Sadly my putt stopped on the front lip, hanging over the hole and my dad missed a 4 footer, the hole was halved and we remained 2 down after 9.
I won the 10th(with par) and 12th(with birdie) to get us back to level in the match but they won the 13th and 16th, holes where they had shots to go 2up with 2 to play.
There had been a bit of a breeze all day but the gusts really picked up on 17. Our opposition hit their two shots on the short par3 17th, both getting fooled by the wind and hitting over the green. I feathered a 9-iron in to 10 feet and we clawed a hole back. Going up 18 just 1 down. Myself and my dad were delighted to even have the match still going this far. The two lads were in trouble off the tee after I ripped mine up the middle. I was just off the right edge in 2 but had an awkward chip of about 40 feet to a pin that sat just the far side of a spine in the green, very tough to get close.
One of our opposition had gotten on the green in 4 and with a shot on the hole could only hope for a 6 at best. I deftly hit my chip, to where it ran out 5 feet passed the hole. A brilliant result to which I coolly hit the putt home and we were down 19.
Everyone hit great drives. Myself and the low guy were on the green in two, but I was closest. The other two were on in 3, both with shots. They got down in nett 4 and after I mi**** my first putt, I needed to make a 6 footer with about 4 inches of break to get us down the 20th. Struck it beautifully and it just fell in the cup on the high side.
Playing the 20th, a short par3, I hit a horrific tee shot. I just couldn't get comfortable over it and subsequently mi**** it. (so im out of the hole) My dad hit a great shot though, just off the front left of the green. Great position. Our opposition, one of them finished beside me, so also dead and my brother in law plugged in the front bunker. He splashed it out to about 25 feet above the hole. My dad rolled up his putt up to 4 feet short of the hole.
In regulation play, my brother in law had been 35 feet passed the flag in 2 and calmly slotted the putt home for a half that they didnt deserve, could history repeat itself ? Your damn sure it is. It was never going anywhere else and was his 7th putt of more than 20 feet that he holed in the round. Just super putting. Sadly my dad mi**** the putt and the match was over.
it was a super contest. Roll on next year 0 -

Played a casual which was meant to be a comp until the last minute today.
40pts
1 scratch
1 Birdie
5 pars
Would have been a nice cut
The scratch was a right pain. Two guys joined us and started talking during my address, I waited a sec and then started the swing only for them to start again. First proper bad drive of the day. Had to actually stand off the ball on the 18th and ask them to stop which was a first for me.0 -

Played open in the PGA Palmerstown 27 pts of the black Tees..
What a monster! There was 60/80 yds between the black and white Tees on some holes!! was actually playing well on the front 9, started the back 9 with a 2 on the 10th par 3, then had 3 scratches in a row just pure tiredness I was shattered it is 1 long course of the blacks!
Very enjoyable round all the same super course and in great nick! and came away with a 2 so least I won something 0 -

Have been slowly ticking up on 0.1s since qualifying started this year. Started at 10.8, and have had a run of 6 0.1s to get up to 11.4.
The last 2 weeks I've missed buffer by 1 point (thought I'd managed to sneak with a week ago having birdied the last hole, to hit 34 points, but CSS came in a 71 on the day, so was disgusted).
Course was hosting the Bruen on Sunday, so we got a course switch with Millicent. Went out without much in terms of expectations. Was a bit late getting to the course so couldn't pop across to the range to get loosened up properly, just a few chips & putts.
Started with a birdie on the first, a long par 5, with a shot, for 4 points. That eased me nicely into the round. Ended up having 39 points, 81 strokes (par 73). Results haven't been announced yet, but hopefully CSS comes in level which would get me back to my start of year handicap. Computer was down in the clubhouse, so guessing the Comp secretary hasn't gotten around to a lot of manual sorting out yet.
FIR: 14%
GIR: 39%
Scrambling: 36%
31 Putts
Should have been at least 3 points better off.
Missed a very short & make-able birdie putt on the 12th. About 4ft putt, slight uphill & straight, and I left it short
Then on the par 3 15th, hit an OK tee shot, was just short of the green, but safe. Had a straight forward chip from below the hole. Almost missed the ball, managed to clip it just off the toe & went almost straight-right & into the face of a greenside bunker. Barely got it out. Then lipped out a chip for bogey. Then lipped out the putt back down the hill to end up with a treble & my only scratch of the day (there were a few expletives uttered on the walk from the 15th green to the 16th tee!!!)
So, beat my handicap for the first time since qualifying started this year. Has been a disappointing season so far. Was carrying pretty decent form out of the winter, so hopefully can put a few decent scores in over the next few weeks.0 -
Very mixed fortunes at the moment.
Played both sat and sun first qualifying games this year. I finished 31 and 34 pts for 2 x 0.1's.
Long range putting was poor, driving good, and long game good. Wedges hit and miss. Fighting the sh**ks a bit which dents confidence. Eagled a hole on Saturday. Sunday start went birdy, 3putt-bogey, birdy, chip out of trees -bogey. The course finishes with 2 par 5's and a tough long par 4. On 16th was just off the rhs with a drive a mish1t 4i, in good position though, then took 4 more to get down for a bogey. 17th a drive and perfect 5i left me with uphill med range putt for eagle, 4putted for a bogey. 18th big drive and 52 wedge, pulled wedge slightly to fringe left managed to get up and down on the tough 18th green. But unfortunately finished just one outside buffer zone for my trouble
I sh**ked a few times, had to chip out sideways multiple times. 3-putt almost everything, and then the one 4 putt.
My last three drives on 16, 17 and 18 added up to 860m and were dead centre fairway. But I just don't seem to be able to get the ball in the hole.
Frustrated I immediately impulse bought a new centre shaft putter after the round to give it a try. Jury's out whether this was a good move so far. If I can get a feel for longer range putts at this summer I think I can start turning in a few scores.0 -

Seems I won my class prize. Also away CSS came in a shot harder so down to 10.6.
Pity about the scratch as even a double on the hole would have gotten me down to 10 for the first time0 -
