Had my best round of the year so far today in grange castle, 8 over gross off 14 for 42pts. Short game was good today, only one blip missing a short on the 11th, my driving was a bit wayward, I think I only actually held one fairway with the driver but was never bad enough to get me into trouble hopefully I'll get cut to 12 which will be the lowest I've been!

You had a better day than me!

Was that is the Captains Plate which is on today at Grange Castle? Must be in with great chance of winning.

Yep, I was away last weekend on holidays so couldn't play in the captains qualifying, hopefully I'll be in with a chance, was tricky enough with the wind and I say the greens are running as fast I've ever played them.

Playing in the Captains Day tomorrow. Hopefully the weather conditions will be a little kinder.

Been off this forum for a while..... too much work and not enough golf ☺
Played in Captains prize in Ballinastoe (nr Roundwood) today.
90 gross for nett 70 (level) off 20 - Drove the ball well but chipping and pitching let me down... not committing to the shots and leaving a lot short.
Very windy so made a long course even longer.
Happy with my recent consistency... I feel a cut coming soon.... Hopefully ðŸ˜‰

+9 off 12 today in Birr for 39pts in one of our golfer of the year comps.

Played really solid golf tee to green 86% Fairways hit and 67% green.
Went back to old putter today just to see if it would make a difference- It didnt still had 40 putts !!!
Hit 43 shots with 8 clubs and 40 with the putter!! So frustrating!!!!!
To think that if I made the 3putts into 2 putts I'd have played to +3 is unthinkable.
I've said it for a while now that I had to golf to be a low handicapper if i could get putter working and today proved that.
Also I played the par 3's in +5 so thats the other thing that needs to improve.

Started off with a par, then had 3putt double/bogie for next 3 holes. Had a little word with myself on the 5th tee and went on to have 5 pars a bogie (3putt) on index 1 and 3 more pars.
Wind picked up and started raining went bogie, double (3putt), bogie, latter two both par 3's and finished solid with par, par, birdie.

Playing the heritage tomorrow, looking forward to seeing if good form continues.

Birdie: 1
Par: 10
Bogie: 5
Double: 2

Although the post doesnt sound like it i'm actually delighted with the round, first time breaking handicap all summer after alot of hard work and a small cut should see me lose a shot to be playing off my lowest ever handicap

Warming up nicely for killen, carton and fota - watch out lads, i can see my name on the seve ob trophy

Nice shooting, Shame about the the putting, I was once that soldier too a good number of years ago. Decided to spend almost a year on putting practice and dropped from 17 to 12 in 6 months.

Do you get to practice much?

On average I spend about an hour to hour and a half on putting green every week and every thing falls. Go out and play a few and everything lips out..so annoying

12-07-2015 04:08PM

The Island, shot 92 in the medal today, off 14.

I had two quadruple bogies on the front nine which is awful obviously. My whole front nine was a total mess. Played much better on the back, out on 51 and home in 41. Would have been 32 points if it was stableford.

I was nailing the ball on the range before the round but could not hit the ball on the course. Anyone else experience this and what can you do about it?

Skip the range

Kingswood Rover · 12-07-2015 04:56PM

12 over off 12 so a nett 72 in the July Medal at the Blessed Lakes, so played to my handicap, conditions were quiet tough with the wind and off the blues the lakes is an animal so pleased over all. Our comps are always a 2 day affair and with the calm conditions today the winner will deffo come from today's competitors, could be a 3 shot difference in the SS between Sat and Sun.

Tom.D.BJJ · 12-07-2015 09:25PM

28 pts off 18 in Palmerstown yesterday. Terrible off the tee.

30 pts today in Hollystown. 4 pars and 3 scratches.

Wichita Lineman · 12-07-2015 10:20PM

33pts off 15 today in Moate. Got off to a great start with 3 pars in a row and was doing fine. Double bogey on 6th par 7th then another double followed by a 5 for 1pt on 9th left me with 19 at the turn. Struggled then until 15th before finishing par, bogey, par. Leaving a lot of shorts behind when close up to the green, pitching wedge is stone cold.

OffalyMedic · 12-07-2015 11:26PM

So the good form did indeed continue ï¿¼ gross +5 off 12 for 42points but only a casual round. Myself and another girl played matchplay for the round with no gimmes ï¿¼ Shes of 8 but we played it off scratch cause we have semi final of junior cup there next weekend so got to play the course and practise matchplay.

Great day all round, nice weather, no rain, good company, free round and most importantly good golf.

Putter still not on fire but improving slightly 37 putts today i think.

Eagles: 1
Birdies: 1
Pars: 8
Bogies: 8

managed to keep the doubles and worse off the card by just playing solid golf and good course management. Boy I love matchplay, really gets me to play simple rather than going for spectacular shots (more often than not they are quiet the opposite). Only big shot i went for was on par 5 10th hit a great drive down the middle to leave myself 165yards into wind with bunkers surrounding front of green, was going to layup and just though "sure here YOLO" hit the best 4hybrid of my life to stich it to the pin for tap in eagle.

Heres hoping I play as well next sunday when it counts. A week on the putting green and hitting 5iron (for some reason i cant hit it anywhere bar push right) should have me in good form for nect weekend.

One thing that really confused me today was that i was fading the ball. Anyone who has played with me knows my good shot is a nice high baby draw or straight!! dont feel like i'm swinging any different or setting up different but what the hell as long as the ball gets from a-b who cares ï¿¼

Edit: forgot to mention it's only the second ever time I broke 80

slingerz · 13-07-2015 07:00AM

37 points off 17. 2 birdies in the first 3 holes 20 points front 9 and 17 on the back. Could and should have been a lot beter

benny79 · 13-07-2015 10:02AM

Played in my clubs captains day the weekend for the first time after been a member for 4 years, wish I didn't bother! 111 strokes! was going great 1 over till the 5th were it all fell apart had a 12!!! and didn't even lose my ball :mad:

topped my drive into the long stuff, dropped out, rescue to the butt of a tree, chipped out, rescue down left side of fairway, blocked out by trees, 8i but bailed out to right of green,(water on left) then hit a get chip to centre of green but ran off into hazard 2 swings later, one a fresh air had to drop out, should of from the start as trying to play out of the hazard was just stupid but my head was fried! then a pitch and a putt but my head was completely gone.

My worse score ever is 115, and am at a total lose to how bad I have gone from the great stuff I was playing in April/May. My brain is fried with Golf and I don't think I ever get my HC down or ever be any good. Actually thinking of giving it up least for a while.

Sad times

willabur · 13-07-2015 10:16AM

absolute turgid rubbish - 27 points in the Grange Castle Plate playing off 12
scratched the first hole - topped drive, second shot into bunker and disaster from there
steadied the ship with 5 pars in 6 holes but then fell apart again. Bogied 10, 11 and then 12 I hit one of my best shots in the summer to reach the par 5 in two, from the back fringe my chip came out fat and I was 30 yards down the fairway - greens absolutely lightenning on saturday. That was the end of my round, bogied, double bogied and scratched my way home.
Finished with a birdie putt on 18 lipping out, missed the 2 foot par putt and made bogey

back to the drawing board

redzerdrog · 13-07-2015 09:40PM

Scored 32 points off 10 in a society outing in Skerries

Very happy as it the first time breaking 30 with my hcap also encouraging that I had 3 putts from 15+ feet that lipped out on me.

Had 8 1pointers

But only 1 scratch

Also had a nice birdie

Plenty of positives to take

BOB81 · 14-07-2015 08:47AM

Nett 72 off 15 in the monthly medal, 8 on the last (par 5) which in the end was the difference between winning it (a bogey would have done it!) and not. Thought I might have snuck a small cut in as the standard scratch is often 73/74 in strokeplay events but it wasn't to be. First time playing to (or near) my handicap this year so some positives to take from it, better iron play and no lost balls off the tee for a change.

had 37 putts though including 4 3-putts which has been my nemesis of late, switched to left hand low putting grip recently which is helping on my short putts but am finding the long-range ones difficult to get the pace right on. Playing the next round of the singles matchplay later this week so hopefully can shoot a decent round again...

charlieIRL · 17-07-2015 10:15AM

Played open Thursday in moate last night, for the first time in a few years. It was like going on a date with an ex girlfriend!!

Started off absolutely diabolical with a sh@nk n on my approach to the first and off the tee on the second par 3

Bogie on the 3rd followed by leaving my tee shot about a foot short on the tough par 3 4th resulting in my ball rolling back into the bunker. Over the green with the next and landed 2inches from the timber OOB so scratch - didn't score on first 2 par 3's.
Steadied the ship after a double on the next (Index 1) to play the 10 holes in 4 over, silly double on the 16th which was avoidable followed by a bogie and par to finish. Driving started off a bit erratic but second and approach shots were to the middle of greens and putter behaved mostly at last.
Am happy with the score even though it could have been much better.

1 Birdie
5 Pars
7 Bogies
3 Doubles
2 Scratches

I had a big problem with this after getting back into golf this year, hit the odd one on the course but so many on the practice ground (which is probably the place for them tbf). So demoralising when you hit one. Haven't had one in the last two rounds so hopefully they're gone.

Thankfully I haven't had one in years and won't have any more for years to come!!!

Mushy · 17-07-2015 04:18PM

Don't get to play much at all, played Narin the other day. 32 points off 16, had 7 pars. From one extreme to the other though!

Yeah, I had one two rounds ago but not really a hint of one since, in fact it's been the opposite where by bad shots are coming off the toe. Which isn't great but better than a sh@nk!

Danny dyers double · 17-07-2015 10:19PM

30 points of 18 today in Grange Castle in absolutely horrible conditions at times .

Not playing too much of late so can't really complain . But chipping was much improved as that had been killing my scores lately and my driving was good for most parts of the round .

18-07-2015 07:19PM

Played in a team event in This Island this morning but kept track of my score and had 34 points off 14.

My short game is costing me so many strokes. I four-putted the first (albeit the first was from a bit off the green), I scratched the 9th from a greenside bunker, I left three putts right in the jaws of the cup.

My ball striking also goes to pot as the round goes on which is very annoying. Obviously the first three items on the list here are what's doing the damage to my score:

1 blank
1 triple
2 doubles
6 bogies
7 pars
1 birdies

Pierce_1991 · 18-07-2015 08:01PM

Scored 22 points over 14 holes in very blustery conditions at St Annes yesterday. Happy enough considering I scratched 3 and had a couple of double bogeys as well.

Highlight of the round was chipping in for birdie at the par 3 6th. Actually turned away from the shot to put the club back in the bag thinking the ball was gonna stop close enough to the hole only to hear my playing partner cheer as it dropped.

dwd · 18-07-2015 10:25PM

level to v-par today in grange castle in a fairly strong wind. Left a lot out on the course today, just never really got the pace of the greens which are running exceptionally fast at the moment (last weekend they where running about 11) and had about 4 3 putts. I'm probably hitting the ball as good as I every have, hopefully I can carry that through to Killeen Castle next week

2 bridies
6 pars
7 bogies
3 doubles

33 points off 16 today around Ballykisteen in the Lady Captain's Prize to the Men. Scratched the 16th hole but still managed to scrape into the buffer zone.

TLOA72 · 19-07-2015 07:21PM

Captains prize in galway bay. NR. 48 out and then it got worse. 24 shots for 3 holes from 12 to 14. Lost ball on 16th and card went into the bin. Ah well there's always next year.

Wichita Lineman · 19-07-2015 07:26PM

Disappointing 28pts in Moate today. 16 front, 12 back. Usual story - good start, bad middle, good end. Captains Qualifier next week and I'll have to be much better than today!

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