It was great to get out with the society again, it's been a long absence with lots going on this year. I had a very enjoyable round with PostPunk, Ballyk and Dave. A bit slow as others have said but it was a long enough track so was never going to be anywhere close to 4 hours. We were quite far forward on the day, which softened the course a bit. In fairness, it was set up pretty nice, condition was good, greens were slow. I found them quite spongy, but they were true. I didn't bother eating after in the clubhouse but I did think it was kind of rude the way they basically demanded that we order now if we want to eat..... and I felt sorry for the 2 societies coming in behind us who had no chance at all of getting fed.
I wasn't expecting much from my game as lately it's been in the gutter. Last good few games have been anywhere between 24-28 points
. But when I look at it, it has mainly been putting that has been killing me. missing tidlers I've missed at least 5 putts of no more than 12 inches lately. I'm pushing putts, pulling putts pace is ok, but when you have a long one, hit it dead weight but push it, you could be left with an 8 footer so 3 putting up to about 9 or 10 holes a round lately is costing me most of my shots. I'm not striking the ball as good as I can either, and wayward shots have been punished by having to knock back out onto fairway sideways.
In truth though, Moyvally is very forgiving, wayward shots are not really punished, unless you find some of that long fescue which in spots did gobble a few balls on us. But it was playing quite short and as a reasonably long hitter it suited me, especially as I was not to wayward.
Started with a solid drive, reasonable chip, an indian putt (burnt the hole) and a tap in par. Second hole, pin high left of green, not a great chip, but about 25 foot should have been a handy 2 putt... but oh no.... I 3 putted
Back in action on 4, nice drive, short in 2 but a good chip and nice putt to give me a bit of confidence back. I did still manage to miss a few makable putts during the round though, 2 footers on 9 & 11 I think and about 10 inches on the last(which was for par after being on in 2 )
highlight was 15th where the guys in front stood off their puts to let us play our tee shots and I hit a nice 3 wood pin high, maybe 20 foot left. my putt was half a ball to the left, was sure it was going in for my 2, but I did manage to hold a lovely one on 17 to claim the 2's pot on the day. 36 points for me which left me very happy the way I've been playing, but really if I'm being honest, that was like a 30 pointer on any other course as I thought it was set up very easy. Still, gotta get the ball in the hole though
As courses go, it's not the worst, but maybe a few trees around the place would give it a bit of character. It has a bit of a big field feel about it. 16th & 18th are the best holes.
Well done to all prize winners on the day,0
