How did you score in your last round...2015??

35 pts in Naas yesterday, a decent return looking at the stats.

6 pars
3 birdies
5 bogey's
3 doubles
1 treble

FIR 15%
GIR 40%
Putts 31

84 in Coollattin for a net 71, not a bad day. 1 triple bogey, 3 double bogeys, 3 bogeys, 9 pars and a birdie 2 (yay, money).

Hit 50% of fairways, 61% of greens, and had 35 putts. The greens had been sanded but really it wasn't an excuse, happy with my putts inside 10 feet.

All in all a fair result, I have to work on keeping a good round going (was 2 over after 8) and not getting ahead of myself.

82 strokes - off the white tees .. 2 double bogeys and a very easy birdie putt missed

Hdcp 12

82 strokes for 38 points off 13. A day of what might have been.
10 pars
1 bird
3 bogies
3 doubles
1 Triple
30 putts

Got on the 17th tee with a good chance of finally breaking 80, needed to finish with 2 pars. Put my tee shot OB and took a 7, parred the last. Lots of the positives: the biggest being that on another day it could have been 77.

Obviously knew that the sub-80 round was on, first mistake!

Ya spot on Barnaboy. Hopefully I have learned the lesson.

Horrendous round in Killeen which included almost hitting myself after hitting the sand box by the ladies tee on the 6th. Seem to have forgotten how to swing a golf club all of a sudden. Not happy

Thanks again for the round yesterday evening barnaboy. 12 holes in an hour and a half as a 3 ball is the kinda golf a love  although the last two holes I felt a little like Ian poulter at the players championship 

Mahon is a lovely course albeit a quiet hilly but that makes for some fabulous holes esp the par 3 4th, 100m to green but off an elevated tee of approx the same height, looking out on the river Lee behind. Class  Thanks again for the round yesterday evening barnaboy. 12 holes in an hour and a half as a 3 ball is the kinda golf a love although the last two holes I felt a little like Ian poulter at the players championship

Personally I started off ok in that I missed par putt on the first after nice chip on, good drive on the second and decent second shot then the chipping shanks started again. Thought I got rid of them yesterday morning but obviously not. Struggled on although hardly hit a green again until the 10 hole which was quiet frustrating but then last 3 holes I played ok considering think I was +2 for the 3.

Happy off the tee and most of my irons just need to built up some confidence with the wedges. Out again this morning in Birr if this frost clears hopefully wedges don't fail me again.

shaunac - glad you turned up here - as someone playing (nearly as much golf as me)
I'm switching off a bit now but.

Your dead right (worked for me)

I will say a prayer for you - If you are already looking for God , and Mass.

Looking at the positives after a week of shanking every chip I hit 8 lovely chips today and only 1 bad one but that's because I let the bunker get in my head. Sanded and hollow cored green made putting very hard even 4 footers. Although the 30 points don't show it I did hit some lovely shots just need to get it all to come together a bit more...will be ready by the time tullamore comes around

Great to hear. I knew yesterday was a bit of an off day for you, could tell from the swing that you are a serious golfer. And more importantly you solved the shank problem, welcome back

A decent 36 points in Mahony's Point yesterday with a society, came 6th. Windy conditions but enjoyable.

31 points today in scotch foursomes on home course, wind was brutal and we never got going really. One of the guys in the foursome opposite us really got under my skin too. Frustrating day. Onwards and upwards!

75 gross in Lucan, 35 pts.

Unbelievably, good enough to win today's competition, thrilled to notch up an early 'W'!

Obviously difficult conditions, v windy and squally showers the order of the day. Hit it solid the front 9 but putting like a blind, lobotomised baboon saw me out in a +3 38. Finally made something of relevance on 10, a 12 footer for par on what was a tough par 4 back into the wind, and followed that with a very fortuitous save on 12 after playing the hole poorly from the get-go.

Wind continued to strengthen but managed a good par on 13 after missing the fairway, before bogeying 14 and parring 15. Hit a slightly thin 6 iron to 6 ft on the par 3 16th and nailed it for a 2, which got me back to 3 over, which I knew was decent. So pressure was on for the last two holes and, sure enough, I made a mess of 17. Pulled my drive and missed the green in 3, before 3 putting for a demoralising double bogey 7.

Ripped a drive up 18 (without giving the shot a great deal of thought/ care, it must be said) and hit a really good second shot, a 6 iron over a bridge/hazard and within 70 yards of the green. The flag wasnt the most accessible, set at the front of the green just over a ridge, and with the wind howling behind me, a fair amount of luck was required to get it close. But I played the shot well and it worked out, trickling down to 18 inches. Didnt fancy the putt one bit but managed to coax it home, a satisfying finish after the disaster at 17.

Was hoping to scrape something but to win was a pleasant surprise. Will hopefully press on when CSS
makes a return!
