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

Didn't wanna start a new thread Lads... just wondering if anyone knows if it's still 'Summer Rules' in Roganstown at the moment? Want to play the Open there tomorrow but won't bother if it's gone to Winter Rules... Cheers...

40 pts in Killorglin (my home course) off 16. This included three birdies and three double bogeys.

Turns out I won the weekend singles . I am now off a 14.7, good end to the year.

Got again today, found even just over a week without playing left me rusty on my short game although my drives are still consistent.

90 Gross- 4 Par's (2 Par4,2 Par5), 10 bogey's and 4 double bogey's.

Wasn't great but looking at it now I was only 2 shots off my best from last week when I dropped 12 shots on my previous best.

82 strokes today (+11)
8 over front 9
3 over back 9

9 pars
2 birdies
3 bogey's
2 doubles :mad:
2 trebles :mad:

Golf...........it's a funny ol' game !

Situation: playing for the 1st time in a few months, only playing in my 4th outing this year, so I decided to give our President's prize a lash, in Fota.
I had absolutely no ambitions, just go and have a laugh & put up as good a showing as possible !
The weather was not looking good, a thunderstorm just before I got there & some of the locals came off the course (greens were flooded) and went home!
We waited for a while and as Fota dried out (something they're particularly good at) the sun came out & it was all systems go.

Had a very solid if not spectacular front nine, given my rustiness, but alas there was no rustiness, 3 over for the front nine, 22pts (off 14) & I'm on a roll !
But, was my old form returning, scratched the 10th with bad shot after bad shot. I think my old form stayed with me then as I had to dig deep and not get frustrated and ended up with 15pts on the back nine.

On the 16th I missed a simple par put, I scrambled a point on the 17th and as I stepped up on the (original) 18th Tee box, I asked my playing partner what points I had, he said 37. I then proceeded to scratch the 18th ! So........came off the course thinking, "ok I've let that one slip away, I've had a great day but damn, what could have been!"

But.........to my surprise, I was leader in the clubhouse with 5 to come in. An anxious wait turned into jubilation as I was declared the winner :eek:

/the moral of the story: play very little golf and play with a clear head!!

Your partners shouldnt have told you your score! That said bet you regret not knocking a 5i to the fairway and then hitting your second downhill to green once you had made it past the initial trees

92 strokes, 35 points.

started straight two's for 5 holes.

DB, scratch, par, par, DB, par, par, scratch, DB, par, par, DB, par. Frustrating day.

3 times I dumped myself in greenside bunkers from great positions resulting in two of those scratches and a DB. And I'm normally content in the bunkers... I think I was struggling with ample but wet sand - which left me unsure as to whether to pick it off the sand or blast, resulting in me doing neither.

7 pars over the final 11 is solid stuff, but to be 7 over for the other 4 holes in that run is criminal stuff and the difference between this being a so so round and a great one.



4 fir (driving awful today)
5 gir (3 birdie putts sat in the jaws)
33 putts (+ scratch)

edit - 27 qualifying rounds this year. 17 0.1's. 5 cuts totalling 4.3. So this is only my 5th time in the buffer :O

Ah, what could have been...

Arrived to the course to see we were in winter conditions for the first time, which put me in a bad mood!

But I was out, it was a nice morning so why not just enjoy some golf.

Started with a sliced drive on the first & thought, oh no,hope it's not going to be one of those days. But with a great ball back down the middle of the fairway leaving a wedge in, 2 putts & a bogey start on the index 1, so solid recovery.

Things looked up from there, 1 putted the next four holes to go birdie, par, par, birdie.

Next 3 holes were bogey bogey birdie to stand level par after 8 holes. Crushed a 3 wood off the tee on 9 leaving a 9 iron into the green. Unfortunately had my 1st 3 putt if the day, rolling a 2 footer for par around the lip of the hole. So 1 over through 9 & chuffed as I haven't shot as well this year on the opening 9 in my place as in previous years.

Back 9 & the weather changed, wind really got up, was a powerful cross wind on almost every hole & the rain started to come down heavier & heavier so I knew it would be a different course. The back is also the tougher 9 usually.

Maybe it was thinking about the score, I don't know. Drove as well on the back as I did on the front (apart fromone pull hook which I somehow managed to find on 15), but missed more greens, and a few putts came up short. Still, no 3 putts on the back, and just lipped out for what would have been my 3rd 2 of the day on 17. Came back in 9 over, 45 strokes to finish with 82 strokes, 38 points

57% fir
33% gir
31 putts

A bug improvement on my golf of the last month or so, so feeling a lot happier today

Career best yesterday

77 (+5) of 12 for 43 points.

5 over on the front nine, after an awful double when i only had 60 yards for my third shot!

Played the back nine in level par and was actually sitting +3 on the 17th tee box, 3 putted for bogey. pulled my drive left on 18, played out sideways and never made the par putt.

I was 3 under through 12-16! birdie par birdie par birdie!

3 Birdies
9 Pars
6 Bogeys
1 Double

Golf is a funny old game....

Played my worst golf of the year in the ryder jug - only 3 pars and an assortment of other hilarities! I played every single shot possible, hooks, slices, duffs, tops, skins and shanks, the lot.

Today, I played in Athlone and my front 9 went : Par, Birdie, Par, Birdie, Bogey, Birdie, Bogey, Birdie, Par. I birdied all the even holes on the front 9 to be -2 for the front 9

Back 9 wasnt so good.... Dbl Bogey, Par, Par, Bogey, Bogey, Par, Bogey, Par, Bogey - to finish +4 overall.



but thats why we love it, isnt it

Got out today at lunchtime shot 83 my best round to date off 17 42pts

very happy to hit a bit of form after nearly 2 months of bad golf

39 points off 13
Best round in a while. Maybe thats because i only went around with a light carry bag containing driver, 4 iron, 7 iron, wedge and putter.
Amazing when your club choices are limited how well you can hit it
1 birdie
7 pars
9 bogeys
1 d.bogey ( on last aarrgh )

Amazing how many of us only need a few clubs really

My best score last year (+2 gross) was with seven clubs
Driver, 3 hybrid, 5i, 7i, 9i, 52 deg & putter


Plan for this winter is just to use 7 clubs and pencil bag

37pts in a causal round in Knightsbrook off the whites which is 6891. Lovely course and the best day weather wise we've had for a couple of weeks.
7 pars
10 bogeys
1 Double

Couldn't buy a putt. 36 in total. Guess its just the way it goes sometimes.

78 strokes yesterday
9 pars
1 birdie
8 bogey's

Short game kept me in it, 29 putts
Driving was not very accurate however I scrambled well to have a decent score.
