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!

Moate is in fantastic condition at the moment, really enjoyed the round there Thursday

Played a team event last week with a 11,13,19 and myself (10) hcaps in the open week in our club.

It was a strange format with 2 scores counting on the par 4s and all scores counting on the par3s and par5s

All four played well at different times but we thought we had blown it on the two par 5s on the front 9 ( I scratched both as had no shot on either) ended up with 54 points on the front 9

Back 9 we all played well I had 6 pars 1 of which didnt even get me on the card. But crucially we played the par 3s and par 5s well. I parred the the two par 3s and the 2 par 5s on the back 9 to make up for my scratches on the front. We ended to 9 with 61 points and won the competition with a total of 115 points.

Got lovely Galvin Green tops as prizes but just happy to have played so well off a hcap I thought id be year before I could play near to

34 points in Killarney yesterday off 14 hit the ball relativley well but putted poorly.

Dr_Colossus · 20-07-2015 10:55AM

Played in our Captain's qualifier yesterday which disappointingly this year was stableford (the main event is strokeplay at least) scoring 33pts off 7. Had an anxious wait as thought there would be 34 needed but surprisingly everything on 32pts qualified yesterday with 33pts required from the Sat qualifier.
Hit the ball reasonably well but a few poor chip shots cost me shots as well as getting unlucky lies under trees on two pulled tee shots, one of which resulted in a left handed fresh air shot as I tried to get back into play costing me my first double bogey.
Can be a game of inches at times as evidenced by trees and a few lip outs but glad to have qualified.

Gross 91 for nett 71 yesterday in Powerscourt (East) off whites {37 points

} 5 pars and only one blank. Pins were in very difficult positions - Tough!
Didn't enter the comp as was trying a slightly different putting stroke and shorter backswing on irons and didn't know how it would stand up on the course.... Feck it... should have done. Finished 2 under CSS

Putting was a bit dodgy for the first few holes... missed a few short ones as was concentrating on the stroke and not direction... DOH! Got it sorted and came good after.
Really looking forward to Killeen Castle next saturday

39 at portmarnock links today. Just back from two weeks off so was surprised, normally I have a few shockers after a break.

31 last Friday, wasn't really up for it after a long day at work. Then 37 on Sunday, could have been 39 or 40, got a couple of bad breaks on the greens. Then had my ass handed to me in matchplay Monday night by a 16 year old (not that age means anything in this game), 6&4. Wasn't up for it at all. There is such a thing of too many competitive rounds in too short a time I think. Felt golfed out. Also didn't really want to get up and away from watching the open. To top it off nicely I came back to find that BBC had switched channels for the playoff and Sky+ series link did't catch that. Was really cheesed off after that.

Keano · 22-07-2015 11:08PM

24 points for 15 holes. 2 scratches in there but we walked in as we'd be on the course nearly 4 hours at that stage. Not usually that slow but any momentum was quickly killed by standing on a tee box waiting.

Like Boskowski I think a lot of competitive golf leaves you feeling tired or something. I've played 48 holes in the last 24 hours!

Boskowski · 22-07-2015 11:19PM

Ye I really think so. Maybe its an age thing (wrong side of 40, hell 45 now actually :eek:) but I find when I play well there is quite a bit of mental energy going into it and it seems difficult to do so over several days to the same standard.

Wombatman · 22-07-2015 11:41PM

32 off 12 in weekend comp. Css 37. All good bar the driver. Three driver related scratches. Promising overall and feel I'm on the way out of a two month slump.

PARlance · 23-07-2015 12:08AM

80 strokes around Lough Erne today. The 70's club still awaits my arrival but I'll take +8 and my 40 points and cherish them. By far and away the best golf I've ever played. First time playing the course and I loved it.

Started with 2 bogies, the second was a poor shot to give away after having a SW in.
Onto a short par 3 next and a 12 footer just lipped out for birdie, par.
A 520 par 5 next and I smashed one down the middle, leaving me a 6i which I left pin high.. but just on the edge of a slope, another foot to the right and it would have fell down and left a tap in eagle. Missed the tricky eagle putt but tapped in for a birdie.
Onto a par 3 next and an 8 ft birdie lipped out, tap in par. A long par 5 into the wind next and a 10 ft birdie looked in all the way... tap in par.
A 325 downhill par 4 next and another cracking drive left me just shy of the green side bunker. Nearly chipped the bloody thing in for eagle... tap in birdie to bring me back to level par for 7, and not a putt having dropped yet.

Index 1 up next and a drive had me in the perfect position. Then the first real poor shot off the day seen me pull the iron approach into trouble. Left myself a long tricky putt and missed the one back for a double.
Chickened out of going for the next par 5 in 2 and laid up, a sloppy hole and missed a 6 footer for par to turn 3 over.

Par putt lipped out on 10.
Made my first putt of the day 11 to save par.
Gave a long birdie putt a good run on 12.
Fatted my tee shot on the par 3 13th, then bladed my chip right out the back into cabbage. Chipped it to a foot from there.... Very lucky that I pulled a good one out of the drawer because the wheels were coming off.

The next 4 were very nervy holes, 2 pars and 2 bogeys.
Onto the par 3 18th to finish.
I pulled the tee shot and chipped into 10 feet. I had been blocking out the score for the round but I knew it was for 80, hoping I made made a miscalculation to make it for 79. I sank what was only my second putt outside 6ft of the day.
A quick check of the card confirmed the 70 club will have to wait but it's within touching distance.

Still buzzing about the round, god help me(ye) when I finally do it

FixdePitchmark · 23-07-2015 09:35AM

Great round PARlance - but breaking 80 is way overrated

79 - around Rosslare - was happy enough as not practicing as much as I should be.

Course not that hard - but was still happy to play last 7 in level.

Putting a bit better these days - still not making enough Birds - but again, not practicing putting - so you get what you deserve.

When I was scoring well there for a while - it was my driving that was setting me up - but a very worrying duck hook has come into my game - this resulted in a treble at one point.

May have to take driver out of play a bit more for a while - back to irons off tees on shorter par 4s. Not great.
Not sure the last time I hit a 3 wood off a tee - so that is unfamiliar to me , I'm normally usless with something unless practicing it a good bit.

Anyway. Kids back to school soon - real golf starts then

rollotomasi · 23-07-2015 11:19AM

69 in Thurles yesterday - first time breaking 70, albeit in a casual round.

dan_ep82 · 23-07-2015 02:01PM

82 in a semi casual round in a Moor Park. Me and the two brothers were playing for a little cup thing I bought :pac:

10 Pars
37 front and 45 back

Driver just deserted me on the back nine, instead of a high draw I was getting low pulls leaving me scrambling and lipping out a few times

Still won it by 4

LarMan · 23-07-2015 02:14PM

30 points in a 12 hole comp yesterday. My HCAP is 17 and I was receiving 11 strokes. Started off with a double bogey and scratched the 4th hole. Was only on one green in regulation but chipped in twice for birdie and had 6 pars so short game was sharp yesterday.

If that was for me then yesterday it was well deserved, unfortunately put me in a strokes comp off the back tees and I am more likely to be called hacker. lucky to break a 100 some times. The 12 hole comps mid week just seem to suit me. But chipping in twice for birdie puts a real gloss on what would have been just a steady round

Boskowski · 23-07-2015 02:47PM

It was for you but it was a well meant messin kinda comment.

No worries that's how I took it

finglashoop · 24-07-2015 03:02PM

32 points off 23 in beech park. have to say the course is in great shape. one of the nicest ive played on as well, only 20 euro as well.

18 front, 1 scratch - 14 back , 2 scratches.

My putting is absolutely atrocious. one scratch was due to a four putt which is bad, even for me.

I had 5 birdie putts on the front 9 and sunk none. Three putting was the order of the day. Was really solid tee to green but really let myself down on the greens so disappointed after playing well.

SolarStoned · 24-07-2015 04:28PM

just scored 44 points (8over par) yesterday in citywest singles competition

got slashed from 16 to 12 handicap today...heading in the right direction

first time seeing Exceptional Scoring Reduction on my gui page.

Boskowski · 24-07-2015 10:33PM

Second top 3 finish in two weeks today. 38 of 16 now 15. What really makes me happy was that I had a poor swing day, not comfortable over the entire round, but I managed a score purely on scraps and not giving in. Also took a big scalp last night in fourball matchplay and in the quarter finals now. Captain Prize next week, bring it on.

Keano · 24-07-2015 10:45PM

What a difference a few days makes!

I had a 75 nett that include 3 trebles and holed very few putts. My putting really does let me down

P_1 · 24-07-2015 10:46PM

98 around Bellwestown today, not too many 3 putts and a par with a few greens in regulation thrown into the mix, happy with that

millerj · 25-07-2015 03:54PM

A most unusual round for me today. Strokeplay off the Blues, opened with a double bogey, another on six, treble bogey on eight and another double bogey on nine so nine over par through nine holes...! Then played the back nine in one under (one bird and eight pars) for 80 gross or 71 nett. A most extraordinary round. One bird, thirteen pars, three double bogeys, one treble bogey.............and not a bogey on the card.........strange!!!

Ciaranra · 25-07-2015 06:27PM

1st round captains 8 over for 69 nett

25-07-2015 07:18PM

Absolute nightmare today in The Island. 24 points. Virtually nothing positive to take from it, every aspect of my game was rubbish.

Good man C still well in there, Played in the inter Scr cup in Edenderry, 7 over in the middle of the fairway on a par 5 11th so kinda in with a squeak and then carved me 3 wood OB... finished with an 8.... also hit a poor drive on the last par five into a hazard, then hit one into the woods a 9.....all in all actually played well with a good sprinkling of pars and one bird but 3 poor shots really killed me. It is going to happen.

lenihankevin · 26-07-2015 09:50AM

12 hole stroke comp yesterday...off 17....hitting the irons better than ever before...putting was poor tho...had two birdies. 4 pars 2 bogeys...2 doubles..a seven and a nine...had 8 putts for birdies... crazy stuff for me!ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

Tom.D.BJJ · 26-07-2015 11:26AM

32pts off 18 around St Anne's GC yesterday. Only two scratches, so getting close to my goal of a round with no scratches. Very busy course.

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