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

DuckSlice · 29-07-2013 11:59AM

Was out in my clubs Captains day yesterday, started off well with 2 pars, but then had an OB on the third, so that was a double bogey 6, was going ok till another double on the par3 8th. Round was over then. Went around in 82 for 69nett. 62 won it. Was annoyed because I was one of the favourites according to the local paper

. But to beat that score I would have had to shoot a 74. Was Never gonna happen.

Not sure I can compete with all of the brilliant scoring above, but I had 36 points yesterday off 19 which included five pars, nine bogeys and three doubles, with just one scratch! (a stupid seven on the par three fourth, which included a four-putt disgrace!) I still hit a few stupid shots and missed one or two really stupid putts which would have improved the score, but am happy with it. A glorious day too, weather-wise!

I don't know whether it will lead to a cut but, together with my 33/34(?) from the Heritage the week before, it would appear I'm plotting my way around the course and hitting my short irons better than before...

Although I'm delighted The only way is up!!!

No Anatom the only way is down for you.:) Good shooting for a man who hasn't played too much recently

Of course, you're right Ben, it can only get better!!

:D Will hopefully make it to Thurles, although an initial hint was met with stony silence the other day....!

Followed up Saturdays 71 with a 72 today for 39 points off 5 in the Monday Open in Tullamore. Only 25 putts but only hit 6 GIR, used the putter a further 6 times from the fringe. It was pretty windy today so I'm happy with hitting as many fairways as I did, at -1 for 14 I was really unhappy and unlucky to bogey the next 2 holes. Couldn't be happier with how I'm playing right now.

9/13 Fairways
6/18 Greens
25 Putts

4 Birdies
9 Pars
4 Bogeys
1 Double

Yaya would you ever feck off with your ridiculously consistently good golf! Making me sick you are. Sick with jealousy. Well done. Unreal handicap drop. Were you a shark junior who is only getting back into it or what's the story? What's the handicap target now? Great to see such good progress tho. Fair play to you.

73 in Roganstown off the Blue tees, with a 9 on the last.

Conclusive Evidence, if it was needed, of the real difference between a good golfer and a struggling 15-handicapper.... I hit one more Green In Reg than YaYa today (St Margaret's)... and took 16 strokes more for my round - 11 of which were putts...

Cheers Larson. I was big into golf as a junior but never really took it that seriously, wasn't a member of a club the last 3 years mainly because of the cost but also because I just didn't want to play. Got back into it big time this year and have fallen back in love with the game. Handicap target for the rest of the year now is to stay between 4 and 5. Want to break par this year too so that will keep me working.

PLus

yaya is playing tullamore 7 days a week at the moment. If he wasnt holing more putts, there'd be something wrong. He must know every inch of the greens out there!

Played in a 4 person team event in Powerscourt on Friday. East course off the white tees. First time playing there.

Team combined for 90 points, of which I scored 41 off 18. Scored on every hole

Counted up the strokes and it came to an 85, having been level par for the first 6 holes.

played a classic in Castlebearna yesterday with my bro in law and 2 lads off here, thanks a million for the company and the very enjoyable day out.

Nerves got the better of me on the first two holes and I managed to loose my ball on both feckin holes off the tee. Head went down and I thought it was going to be one of those days after I hit my tee shot on the index 3 third wayyyy left....but...got back on the green and 2 putts for a score, then the golf started!! I think i hit all bar one of the rest of the greens in regulation and only the putter was stone cold I could have had the round of my life!! Played 16 holes 12 over and had 5 or 6 feckin 3 putts as i couldn't get the pace of the greens at all.
2 hi-lights were almost driving the green on the par 4 13th, hitting the longest drive of the day on the par 5 16 (268m uphill!) and hit my second shot to 8 foot leaving a tricky downhill eagle putt - which i feckin missed!!
Driving was great apart from first 2, measured a few over the 265m mark, short game ok but putter was very bad for a change.
Still, was well happy at the end of the day!

My prize arrived today for longest drive!!:D

268m is some slap. Congrats!

Hit 35 points in Fermoy today.
Was out with a juvenile off 13 (14 years of age)who went around in 39 points. If I had a young fella that's the time to get them into the game- striking was impeccable, putting confident, all round great game. Put my game to shame but a genuine nice guy to boot.
Great to see it:)

Well done Charlie on winning the longest drive prize (hope you got something decent

Played Carton House Montgomerie Today for the first time. For a man who has been hitting the ball as well as ever and having good scores of late I felt it was time to put all of that to the test and try and shoot a number on a tour standard venue like The Monty.

After starting of with a testing up and down for par on the first I felt good about my game and confident about what was to come. Well how wrong I was, for some reason I found it very difficult for the course to suit my eye with its severely undulating fairways and deep bunkers it was a bridge to far for me.
Even though I had a strokesaver in my hand i seemed to be picking the incorrect line almost everytime and found that very frustrating that what I thought was a good shot was not the line at all.

I'm not sure what score I had today as i picked up and lost a few balls but I would say I probably just about had high 80's. The course itself is in magnificent condition and even though the greens were scarified I could not fault them.

I booked it through Golfnow.ie and got it 2for1 with a coupon code which are avialable online. So for €23.50 I was happy with everything but my own game. Maybe next time.

What's this 2for1 code you speak of? Playing carton in the next couple of weeks so would quite like something like that

The code I used was this one FBBOGO13. You can only get that if you book a "Hot-Deal" and you can only use it once per account.

Casual 2 ball in Macroom in the rain. 104 blows consisting of 1 par (14th), 8 bogies, 5 double bogies and 4 scratches .

All in all a good day, I'll soon get into double figure rounds.

Benny Cake · 01-08-2013 07:07PM

37 points in Gowran Park today off 14.
FIR: 6/13
GIR: 7/18
37 putts

Played solid and should have scored much better, missed 3 times from inside 4 feet. Absolutely flushing my irons, happy enough with the score considering the conditions today

Cheers. To make it worse it was a three putt on 16 that cost me. It's good to be competing again after a poor year so far.

jamok · 02-08-2013 11:26PM

Played Rathcore today in a classic. I had never played it before and didn't know what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised.
The course is in fantastic condition and the greens were excellent.

It was a bit short for me but I would really like to go back and play it off the back sticks because I enjoyed it and think it would be a better test from the backs. As for the golf i had 80 with my own ball and only for 2 doubles due to awful weather that came from nowhere I would have had a decent number.

Unfortunately it was very slow taking us 5 hours to get around but I guess thats pretty regular for a classic.

All in all 8/10.

Corkblowin · 03-08-2013 09:51PM

Just need to post this as therapy - gutted this evening.

+6 gross off fotas back tees today in the medal. Don't think I've ever played as well tee to green in my life, but..........

Four 3-putts, a 4-putt, 3 birdie putts inside 6 feet missed & a straight up the hill 4 footer for par that didn't even touch the hole. Puttings always been a strong part of my game but I'm shook after today!

Glad to hear you enjoyed. Just out interest what tees where you off? The yellows?

the lawman · 04-08-2013 04:59PM

85 strokes for 36 points around Rathcore today. Two rounds in a row where it was 11 over on front 9 and 2 over on the back 9! Bit of a tight hamstring so probably stretched out by time of the turn (that's my excuse).

1 Birdie
7 Pars
7 Bogies
2 Doubles
1 Triple (grrrr)
Putts - 33
FIR - 93%
GIR - 39%

Hoping for any kind of a cut as I'm on 12.5.

Dolph Starbeam · 04-08-2013 05:08PM

37 Points off 5 today. Played pretty well again, 9 straight pars on the front 9, then went +3 for the next 3, and had a good finish, before 3 putting the last from 20 feet. All parts of my game were pretty sharp, confidence is sky high at the moment. Re-entry tomorrow so hoping to improve on todays score.

7/13 Fairways
12/18 Greens
32 Putts

1 Birdie
13 Pars
3 Bogeys
1 Double

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