    Played the open singles at Waterford Castle again today.

    Had 40 pts again off of 6.

    5 Birdies
    6 pars
    7 bogeys

    Again the 3 putts killed me. Had 4 of them today :rolleyes: Need to focus on my long putt distance control!!

    Also made a good few silly mistakes. An under par round was right there for the taking!!

    If standard scratch is 38 I should be down to 5.3! My lowest yet!

    To be honest it doesn't sound like you should be anywhere near 6 - ?
    Scratch - any background ?

    Had a half decent round there last night playing 18 hole open singles with Barnaboy and another member. Few very silly mistakes cost me the win unfortunately - first was on the first hole where i hit a decent drive, pulled my second into a bush and managed to hit the ball with my foot while seeing had i a shot at it or take an unplayable. Managed the let that anger go on the second tee box but hit a hazard with a slightly pulled tee shot but from the drop i hit probably the best 7 iron i have ever hit in my life, was laying up as i was 167m out and managed to land the ball on an elevated green pin high!! Made a balls of the 9th Par 3 for the first time ever and let the frustration effect my tee shot on the 10th but other than that I could have nearly parred every hole!!

    1 Birdie
    7 Pars :eek:
    5 Bogies
    3 Doubles
    2 Scratches

    39 points and enough for second place and a cut, my best ever singles result!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 201 ✭✭bicboy6666


    31 off 16.. scratched first 2 managed 14 on the front.. driving let me down which is normally my strong point but managed to roll in a few puts but missed a decent amount as well. ball striking with my irons were top notch though some poor course management let me down.. playing tomorrow any tips to help me warm up? felt a bit unprepared going on tbh rushing at the end didn't help either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,087 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    34 points around Corballis off 7.

    3 bladed wedges and a fat wedge from perfect positions - that was in my game a while back and is back - Horrible shot to be worrying about. Funny thing.

    Poor from 6 foot too.

    Anyway - not bad considering - but very fine margins from playing ok golf.

    One positive - got a 2 on 13 and was 95 cm - maybe won closest the pin.


  • Registered Users Posts: 310 ✭✭Dossy


    Played Open In Douglas Yesterday

    Had 35pts off 14 and could have had a big score, had 5 proper Birdie chances from inside 12ft, got one and lipped 3 (only positive is that they lipped due to going for them)
    Then had a horrible 3 holes with only 1pt from the 3 of them, round looked set for a .1 so i set a goal for last 5 holes to try get home level for 35pts
    I must admit i let a few F's out of me when this was the only way to get into the buffer but never the less went at it and result was:

    Birdie on index 1 , Par , Par , Bogey (chip short) , Par on 18th after only having 141yds left from driver on Par 5, bad bounce left into bunker, good short out and lipped the birdie tap in par....was massive confidence boost to know i can pull it out of the bag, i know it was probably one of those mad rounds but still

    1 Birdie , 7 Pars , 6 Bogeys , 1 DB , 3 TB

    33 off 15 in Corballis.

    Should be happy with that but 4 scratches thrown in, 17 & 18 included. Bloody hate those fn holes :)
    In about 10 attempts I think I've scored 3 points from those 2 holes. So just -37 off level 2's :(

    I'll get the hang of 18 yet, 17.... Maybe not.

    Was flying on the front with 19 but 14 on the back was a shame.
    Think/hope it might be my first buffer there.

    Casual round in Headfort New this evening.

    I forgot my trolley cart so had to rent one then forgot the card so until I match the scores I wrote down against a card I'm not sure exactly how I done but went round in 83 strokes

    1 drop shot
    A good few pars
    2 doubles I think

    Irons were average. On target but slightly out the toe on some hits, some good ones too
    Driver cost me a drop on the 12th but came decent in the end if not what I'd like
    Short game and putting was really on form

    Delighted all in all, now to bring the same to a comp


  • Registered Users Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Ben1977


    38pts in open singles, practice is starting to bed in. Alignment problems have been killing me.

    That your best score ?

    83 around Headfort new - is outstanding golf. :)

    Its in great nick at the minute, they cut the heavy rough down a bit in places, now if your ball goes in you have a chance of finding it.

    Greens are good as are fairways

    Some of the bunkers could do with better (stones) or more sand I think

    Sounds good. Looking forward to it. Most courses struggle to maintain good bunkers these days so never too bothered about that. I haven't played there in a couple of years so dying for another crack at it again.

    Well I got down to 6 about 3 years ago and since then I didn't play much at all.

    This year though I made a promise to myself to get back playing a lot of golf and it's going well so far.

    My goal by the end of September is to get down to 4, and so far I'm right on track to achieve that! Just a bit more fine tweaking and should be flying!!:D

    Quarter final foursome match last night. Got beaten on the 20th hole. Very close all round, playing against 5 & 9 handicappers.
    We won the 18 to square the match & my partner missed a 2 footer on the 19th for the match. We lost the 20th.
    Overall, delighted with how far we got & we went out with a fight.
    Foursomes was something I was not keen on but now think it's a tough enjoyable sequence.
    Went to the range this afternoon to work on my weak points so hopefully the changes I've made will realise for tomorrow's round.

    87 strokes off 12 in Castleisland Scratch cup. Was happy to be out in 41 which included 3 x 3putts. Was in the hunt until I doubled both 15 and 16. Couldn't get the ball to the hole all day when putting uphill. Drove a few past when putting downhill. 35 putts.

    Pretty frustrated as I think 82/83 will prob win the intermediate as it was playing tough. Hoping everyone else had a nightmare and I beat CSS, but buffer I'd say :(

    Galway Bay yesterday in Friday Open. 30 pts. Not feeling any love with the putter. Rained from start to finish. Driving still bugging me, a few good and a few awful.

    -2 Net in Captains Prize today in Tuam. Expect to make it trough to tomorrow evenings final 9 holes. Driver acting up again but short game very good.

    28 points in galway bay. No real interest playing today. Everything was meh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭dan_ep82


    92 points in a four person open in Headfort Old.

    Got on the card a few times with some pars and a bogey on a low index. 2 doubles I think. Partners were playing great hitting birdies every now and then

    Didn't do too bad but the weather was horrible, the front 9 was the worst. We couldn't get near a full swing for fear of the club flying from the hands, wind was up quite a bit aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,087 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Such an up and down week .

    from good to shocking to average to sublime.

    Maybe practice pays off. Felt a bit down with my game.

    So instead of watching golf this evening milled around 14 holes in Corballis.
    And was 3 over.

    Rare Bird on 17. Decided to mill a PW and try hold top level 6 foot Bird.

    So happy ending to week. A bit of hope from that.

    A good bit in fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,337 ✭✭✭Wombatman


    No joy in the captains prize final 9 holes this evening. +. 5 net this evening. Pared the first four but a double bogey on the index 18 took the wind out of my sails. Happy with 105.5 net for the 27 holes off 13 but will be just outside the prizes. All aspects of game were OK but no spark when I needed it. Next year.

    106 strokes in Grange Castle this afternoon. First time playing in a few months. I was atrocious for some holes but towards the end I started playing somewhat well. Playing there again tomorrow so hopefully can continue from the last couple today.

    Wasn't 100% that was you till I had nearly driven past you in the car park Dr R.

    32 points off 15 there earlier.
    Was playing some really good golf but 4 scratches put pay to any chance of a cut.
    Disappointing really as 3 were from great positions and the other one from a topped iron from the tee after leaving the driver alone... For safety :(

    Bad enough conditions out there this morn. Feel there's another few shots out there for me.

    I thought it was you but similarly wasn't 100%. I had a putt for par on one hole, and walked off with a triple bogey. A mixture of stupidity and lack of concentration.

    I was very impressed with GC. I'm looking forward to playing it again today.

    36 points off 12 in Tralee yesterday in an exchange day. Turned with 21. Played some great stuff on the front in pretty windy conditions.

    Started the back with 2 doubles. Steadied the ship after that with a 5 on index 1, followed by two pars. Bogeys from 15 on.

    Positives: 30 putts, didn't miss anything inside 5 feet. Battled well after the two doubles.
    Negatives: Didn't get much luck on the back 9. Hit the fairway bunkers on 11 and 18, both just barely wandered in. The pace of play slowed down a lot on the back 9 and I found it a bit hard to stay focused. Over 5 hours for the 18 holes.

    Happy enough to finish with 36, it could have been a lot worse. Outside chance of a cut and a prize, fingers crossed.

    Edit: 37 won it. I was 5th because of my poor back 9. Happy enough with that. Not sure what the CSS was yet

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭Slicemeister


    75 nett in the captain's prize on Saturday. Poor opener had to play a provisional having lost my first in low sun knowing it was in play but couldn't find it. Triple bogey start followed by a double tap out of bunker on 5 for another triple. Turned 8 over.
    5 putt on a tricky par 3 16 trying to ram in a bogey putt downhill, missed the hole completely to finish further away than my tee shot, triple bogey again....
    3 putt on the last for bogey where par would've seen me into playoff and the buffer.
    Plenty of pain with the putter but happy with the way I stayed in the round :-/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    35 points off 18 in my first ever competition. Was out in 20 and looking towards a cut but wasn't to be. 7 pars but found the OB/Water a shocking 4 times.

    Not 100% sure, didn't really get told apart from a vague answer, something about fees.

    Would rather have won outright, would hate to lose myself on a technicality.

    105 strokes in Grange Castle. Beat yesterday's score by 1. Was up on myself by 5 at one point but three disastrous holes, 7th, 8th and 9th scuppered that. Had 7 6's in a row from 10-16 which was very disheartening. That included a 6 on the par 3 11th.

    3 wood from the tee was extremely hit and miss, a few times I was catching it still on the down swing and watching it hop only a handful of yards. 5 wood from the ground to recover I was doing well with. Absolutely useless near the greens though.

    There are plenty of shots out there that I can get rid of with more concentration I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 340 ✭✭judosean2005


    39 points off 22 in Ballyneety.89 shots
    pars 5
    bogues 8
    doubles 4
    scratch 1
    plus 4 added H/C shots.

    So there seems to be a trend happening with my golf.
    If i go for a round with buddy ill consistently get between 33-39 points.
    yet when i enter Open singles. i wont get any higher then 25. :(

    Maybe some day it'll all sync up.
