How did you score in your last round?? ... 2014

Great golf to watch and no dramas - you could have easily been one or two better. I hope you bring home the crystal today!

Well if a whopping 43 pts and sub par round doesn't win it's time to give up golf and admit defeat to the bandits. Hopefully it's a decent prize and not something like a two ball voucher to replay the course which is a terribly miserable prize in an open competition that doesn't cost the club anything. That said I think I remember reading before that the prize(s) on offer for the Luttrellstown open competitions were very good.

Yeah, 150 cash was the prizes for the opens on wednesday, not sure if it's still the same now though

This was in may, not sure if it's the same for all there opens

Outstanding stuff Dar around that course.

Long and straight all day. Well power fade.

31 points today off 19 in new Ross . 18 points after 9 with 1 scratched hole but back 9 proved more difficult as usual wit 2 scratched holes a double bogey and 6 bogeys . Got a lesson last week and had to change a few things with my set up so taken that into account it was nt to
Bad a round .

37pts in tramore yesterday 3pars 14bogeys 1 blank. Drove the ball great irons good. I hit 4i on 13th ball ended up in a divot & I foolishly went for the green with a 7i bad idea ended up in water so took a drop I only duffed the chip bck into the water. But par on 14th index1 cheered me up again.

Played Baltray today. What a fantastic golf course.

Probably shot around 31 points, but not too worried about the score. Was playing in a fourball and we were giving putts and stuff.

The most important thing is what a great course that is. I feel privileged to have gotten to play on the hallowed turf! Instant entry into to my top 5 courses I have played in Ireland

Although the €100 green fee is a bit much for a lot of people, golfnow has them a couple of times a week for €45. For example at 12.20 on Monday.

76/75 in naas 36 hole junior scratch cup, course in super nick, greens very fast, pins tucked away in very difficult positions. Very enjoyable day and my first 36 holer, Course was calm in the morning and windy in the afternoon. There was a 71 in for first 18 so say that will be hard to beat.

Poor day in first round qualifier for Captains Prize in Rathcore. 88 strokes for a 79. Waiting to see if I've squeezed in.

Score was a result really of a very nervous 8 on the first and about 7 lip outs throughout the round. FIR was 93% so that was fine. Irons were decent too but 38 putts is pretty fishy.

I will say the course was in its best shape all year. Greens were immaculate so hats off to the green-keepers.

First round of our President's Prize today. Very frustrating day for me in that I let a fabulous score slip away. Played the front nine in 37 strokes (+2) and was absolutely flying, 22 points. Was +3 after 5 holes, then birdied the par 5 6th and then parred 7, 8 and 9. Was only 1 off my best ever nine holes.

Then started making mistakes immediately on the back nine. Forced to chip out sideways after a bad drive on 10, then my third was poor enough, followed up with a good recovery chip and almost holed the par putt but lipped out. Then another poor shot on the par 3 11th, again a good punch shot onto the green from under a tree. Just missed the par putt but then inexplicably missed a tap in for bogey, didn't feel right over it yet hit it anyway, grrrrrr.

Parred the 12th, hit a nice drive on 13 and the approach to 13 looked lovely but died on landing and left a tricky big swinging downhill putt for birdie, the putt was good but trickled about 4ft past. Made a poor attempt at the putt back up the hill and another bogey.

Then another bad drive on 14 forced another sideways chip out, managed to save bogey with a lovely chip from the edge of the green. Good drive on 15 but hit a shocker of an approach into long grass in the spinney, yet another chip out sideways...ended up with a double.

On the 16th hit a peach of a 60deg wedge to about 7ft and left a great chance for birdie but the putt just lipped out. Then on the 17th hit a sloppy approach and left myself under a big tree near the green, hit a what felt like a good chip but it clipped a branch and stopped well short. The par putt was short and then hit another bad putt that lipped out and another double. Then on the 18th, hit a bad drive leaving a recovery shot where I only had a very narrow gap between trees. Absolutely smashed a 4-iron through the gap, probably the best shot of the day. Then hit a decent chip to give me a chance of salvaging par. Unfortunately just missed a 20 foot putt and tapped in for bogey.

Front 9: 37 (+2)
Back 9: 47 (+10)

For 36 points off 12. There was 3 or 4 putts on the back 9 that I'd normally sink in my sleep, so frustrating. Lots of good stuff to take from the weekend. Today I played to my handicap for the first time in 4 rounds. Also never scratched a hole in 2 rounds (including the boards outing yesterday), so the signs are positive again.

Got a lesson this week with my pro too, so hopefully I can sort out a few niggles for the second 18 of the Presidents next Sunday.

38 points off 5 this morning in club competition. Bogeyed the first 2 holes, but held it together and birdied 3 and 7 to get back to level par. was +1 after 9 and double bogeyed the 10th, parred 11,12 and 13, birdied 14, parred 15, bogeyed 16 after a 3 putt and parred the last 2.

Really happy with how I played especially with how windy of a day it was. very difficult conditions

Came 2nd in the competition and cut 0.2 to get me down to my lowest handicap of the year, 4.9

91 strokes for a nett 79 in captain's rd1. Hit the ball better than ever. Had a 10 on a par 5.

1 birdie
6 pars
6 bogeys
2 D bogeys
2 T bogeys
1 +++ bogey

So the final went pear shaped for me. 99 strokes. The wind was in the total opposite direction from last week. No 10 on the card but plenty of triples, Ball coming off the club straight. Now if i could only aim straight.
