How did you score in your last round? ... 2013.

Let me guess, short game let you down? Always the way.

Yeah it was weird. I read this book called "Dealing with last round pressure" by a guy called Sergio Garcia.
Followed everything he said and just seemed to fall apart over the last few holes

back stakes and into the wind i hope:cool:

YYYYeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh...........that was it

25 points in Fernhill today, 6 scratches and a par. The rest was pretty standard.

2nd round of the year after lessons so happy with most of what I did.

86, not great. but very very hard out there.

hard to know how you are playing in that.

was that the wind or me kind of thing.

73 strokes around Lucan today in the Open singles and managed to scrape the Gross Prize. Was honestly the worst score I could have had. Lipped out four times for birdies and missed another 5-6 chances inside 12 feet.

Managed to bogey the downwind par 5 18th after driving behind a tree so that was disappointing. The greens yesterday were immaculate. If there are better greens anywhere in the country at the moment, I would love to see them. Was informed by the greenkeeper that they were 11 on the Stimpmetre.

Open week finishes on Sunday for anyone interested.

Consider starting a thread for some help but what everyone is going to say is get a lesson(your standing too close or your not clearing your body)

Came 2nd!

and if I had managed to avoid 3-putting everywhere I'd nearly be back down to 4, lol

wow, that could have been some round (not that it wasn't anyway),
it just goes to show it's all down to the short sticks !

31 points. 98 blows. Again. 0.1. Again.

8 points from the 3 par 3's on the front balanced the 2 points that I had got from the 3 par 5's and I turned with 18.

13 points on the back, 3 scratches - 2 from seemingly great positions. I somehow found myself on a downslope in a water hazard 280 yards down the fairway with a 3 wood. Should have taken relief but bladed it into the hazard instead. 2 holes later I put a wedge over the back of the green (it actually bounced in the fringe) and took 3 to find the green from there...

positives: 10 points from my three outside holes. Each of them at least a two putt as well - so the long game working on them.
7 gir.

Negatives:
4 points from the 5 par 5's! I'll have to have a look back through the last number of rounds and see if there's a pattern there. It's not that I'm short - my outside holes averaged 430 today, 2 into the wind, so there might be something to look at in there.
42 putts.
my luck. I was genuinely unlucky a few times.

27 off 18 on home course Tuam. Puke hybrids and long irons. At the range during the week hitting them better than ever so very disappointed. Five pars good. Five scratches gack. A few brain farts to boot.
Just want to get out again ASAP and exorcise that sheit.

Played a society outing in Birr this morning. Greens in super condition but it's not a course I personally like particularly as there are too many blind shots and too many criss cross points which I'm sure at times must be pretty dangerous. Disappointed with my 27pts mainly as I had 17 of them in a decent front 9 before turning to mush on the back 9. Had 6x1 pointers on the back and a scratch too :eek:

On the plus side I won a bottle of wine for closest to the pin

First day out with no wind and the links greens were nice and soft after all the rain yesterday, so I had high expectations. Just couldn't make anything happen, 33 points so thankfully no cut, no blanks on the card and I scrambled well after being in some serious trouble. Its a frustrating game.

Nothing to apologise for AJ, everyone has a bad run of holes once in a while, you played 9-14 superbly, so you've got the game to get down definitely. As u said, bit of bad luck with the lost ball which spoiled your rhythm.

As to my own game, its finally starting to get back on track.

86 strokes for 34 points today so first buffer hit since last lesson, and with only about 3.5hrs of sleep so decent result.

Driving - average
Fairway/hybrids - excellent
Irons - average
Chipping - good
Lag Putting - improving
Holing out - poor

Let slip some good positions and finished with a lip out eagle putt on the last.

If I can get the putting numbers down to about 30-32 putts the cuts will start to come.

Overall relatively happy with my game today
