How did you score in your last round? - 2019

Mushy · 03-03-2019 11:25pm

19 points for 14 holes. The fun part....didn't even play too poorly. The wind was savage, made everything very difficult, ball was shaking on putts, so not too disappointed really

27 points for 12 holes this morning. Won my division. Got a 2 also and took the money off my partners.
Par, birdie, par finish for 10 points put a real gloss on the round.

29 points for 12 holes yesterday after scratching my first.
2nd overall on countback.
Also, 2nd overall in Spring League.

Good follow-up to last week's win. Playing really consistently now. Roll on the 18-hole comps next week.

dan_ep82 · 04-03-2019 8:43pm

Anyone a member of luttrellstown? Can't find the results of the comp I played, rang to find out and was supposed to get a call back but nada.

Its no big deal just like to see if I won or what won on the day

pakman · 09-03-2019 8:57pm

Things finally came together today. After terrible round including a 22 at Portmarnock, I managed 43 Points off 20 today in Stableford comp.

That's the 90 properly broken for the first time with a very consistent 85.

I was over the moon. 23 points on front nine that playing partner kept to himself at my request and then just plugged away with mainly 2 pointers.

Well done Pakman, Early fav for Athy

Mushy · 10-03-2019 2:01pm

Today was the sublime with the shocking, and at that it was mostly the latter! But Christ hitting 3 wood into the wind on what would normally be an 8 iron, and still coming up short, shows how strong the wind was. Deciding an hour before tee time that I would actually play didn't help, no prep for it

Benicetomonty · 10-03-2019 9:33pm

78 gross, 30pts nett around Lucan GC today.

Helluva a day weatherwise, not a terrible score but really ought to have been better.

Poor bogies on the 1st two holes after serviceable drives was disappointing but hit a sand wedge to 6 inches on the par 3 4th to offset some of the damage. Then got away with murder to par the 5th and happy to make another at 6, given both holes were back into a fairly ferocious wind.
Hit a great shot to par 3 7th, even though I missed the putt, and 2 great shots to 8, where I made a good 4. Lipped out for a birdie on 9 but was very content with +1 after 9.
Followed that with a good par on 10 after a wild approach, then hit a 6 iron to 13ft on the par 3 11th. Left the putt inches short dead centre, which unfortunately signalled the end of the respectable spell.

Hit a good drive on 12 but wound up just left of the fairway, and as anyone who has played that hole will know, if youre not on the fairway, youre probably blocked out. And i was. Still shouldve done better with my 2nd, a chip and run 9 iron but ended up with a 6 footer for par, which I missed. Very poor drive off 13 and attemped a miracle 2nd shot which was unnecessarily risky in retrospect. Didnt come off and scratched the hole. Parred 14 and 15, luckily as respective drives were both awful.

Another poor effort on 16 into the greenside bunker. With a leadening sky approaching, I gimped that one out to about 7ft, then ducked for cover as the apocalypse descended! Well, not exactly, but haymaker of a blizzard nonetheless. Eventually re emerged to have a stab at the par, but hands were frozen and was putting through ice, even with a makeshift squeegien effort. No dice. Then made an absolute horlocks of 17, before a subdued par on 18.

Disappointing overall, bad weather just got to me at the end. Oh well, try again next wk!

Fair play - great win. Is it qualifying yet, did you get a cut?

FixdePitchmark · 10-03-2019 10:29pm

It is very hard to follow a Benicetomonty post, about his round.

But I love an impossible challenge.

Perhaps enough has been posted about St Andrews. But it was a nice building block for the season to come.

I've decided to try an approach suggested by Rotella and fool myself I'm going to be a good golfer this year (I'm paraphrasing Bob there).

I'm targeting an under par round in competition this year. I have no real right to target that , I have a fairly inconsistent swing. But when all the stars align , I hit almost all the greens in regulation and if you do that - it doesn't seem a daft target.

Anyway , on the 2nd day over in St Andrews we played Jubilee. From the first hole after making an up and down from the sand. I just knew that it was going to be a good day. The course the weather was just perfect for me, conditions as easy as it get on a links.

Was playing with Tiger and Break 80 here , and on 2nd hole (could have been drink), I said something I would never say. "Tiger I'm going to play a savage round today".

On the 4th 5th and 6th I had 3 Birdies in a row. I hadn't done this in a while and being 2 under par was a strange feeling. There is a massive psychology to being under par, it just gets the heart pumping , the head thinking "this is the day".

The course was easy enough on the day - but there is danger if you put the ball anywhere off line. At the turn I started to play even better and basically had a bird chance on 8/9/10/11/12. I had the ball on a string to be honest.

I had a real chance of having a bizarre low round, but didn't take them chances. I think after playing 12 as good as I will ever play golf and another bird - the pressure got to me a little, I was 1 under at that tee box. To be honest should have been 2 or 3 shots lower.

I had a couple of bad swings on 13 / 14 and 15. It just seemed that OTT swing had come back under pressure and I was finding it hard to get out of it. On 16 I got it back but just didn't know hole and first real blind and unknown hole on course. I ended with a double because I was short and you would never be short if you played hole again.

I was delighted how I finished, 17 is a 211 yard par 3 , 4 iron and I holed the putt just on edge of green. Then played the last fairly perfect.

I feel the day was a big step. I know I have a swing flaw that comes in , but an under par round did not feel out of range. I had a bad moment , but got out of it. I hit the driver amazing. I hit so many greens and made 5 birdies.

I came away from the round - knowing there is a bit more in me.

It didn't feel like something I could not do again.

Interesting times.

You practice, you play the games to get to them moments. I enjoyed the night out , too much.

I don't think I'll post about the round the next day

Score (75 (+3))

Cheers. No was a non-qualifier unfortunately. Would love to get below 18 and that would have done it I think. I'll just have to do it again I suppose

idle · 11-03-2019 6:50pm

Mixed bag at the weekend (81 off 10). I did manage my best ever stretch of holes, 4 birdies in 5 holes including a 5 inch tap in on a par 3

dan_ep82 · 11-03-2019 7:41pm

39 points in Mahonys Point in terrible weather and sanded greens today. Kileen was closed which was unfortunate. Tees were fairly far back aswell.
Played pretty decent apart from a few silly swings.

More inland wasnt so bad but the back 9 nearer the lake the wind was very strong, went from 220-250yd drives to 180yds. Punched a 4i as good as I could into 16 and it only went 145yds with a big elevation drop!

18. 160 to the front of the green, 185 to flag.Sweet jesus the wind, couldn't tee it up as it kept knocking the ball over. After waiting a minute for it to calm down ( it didnt) took a swipe at it with the 3i and spun it up into the water (same ball for 3 rounds!)

Pissed off at this stage as I knew I had a decent score going. Decided to hit again from the tee and ripped the 3 iron and .... made the front ,then made the massive putt to make bogey. Crowd behind wondering what kinda of ejit I was celebrating a bogey.

Got a call today aswell from Luttrellstown, first place and a four ball voucher are mine for the 41pts

I can only assume they are waiting on decent weather. I thought after Captains Drive-in and return to 18 hole comps it might but still showing NQ on masterscoreboard.

As long as you're lifting the ball in the rough it will be NQ. Placing on fairways is fine for qualifying

Mushy · 06-04-2019 3:00pm

On an alright run at the moment. Had a crap game, then played South East league for the Purcell team and got nice win there (at home vs Mitchelstown). Then a 34 points last week, with a few calamities in the round.

On to today, lost a pro v1 on the first drive, at least it picked up, although only 17 on front 9. Back 9 was great though, 23 points, only 2 bogies to go with 7 pars. So now that that's my good round of the year in the bag, I look forward to going back to despair

Edit: the best part of the round was my playing partners eagle. 2 nice shots and then a perfect little chip that had the perfect pace. Flag being in made no difference it was that good

spacecoyote · 07-04-2019 12:00pm

1st medal of the year yesterdayas well as first qualifying comp. I've never managed to break par in a medal in my home club, but have been playing very steady golf for the last few weeks so was feeling OK about things.

Ended up shooting 82 off 12 for net 70. CSS came in at 1 over so ended up getting a 0.6 cut & back down to 11.0

1 birdie
9 pars
5 bogeys
3 doubles

The doubles were disappointing. 1st on our index 1 3rd. Was playing long. Its normally downwind, but was playing into it, so played it as a 3 shot hole, but made a poor 3-putt, missing about a 2ft putt for bogey.

Second was on our 14th. Took on a way too ambitious 2nd shot trying to draw a ball around a tree with a hybrid when a sensible mid iron would have gotten me in range of a pitch & putt.

Third was on the 18th, a par 5. Trying to play a cut in with my third, but hit the ball completely straight & ended up under some heavy greenside trees.

In between all of that I played some really nice golf & generally putted very well. Chipping improved compared to my recent rounds. Knocked down 2 drives, but recovered very well from both & made bogeys.

So a nice start to the 2019 qualifying season. Hopefully a good sign for what's due to come!

Won my class too, which is a nice bonus (though had no change in my wallet so didn't enter the 2s & typically enough my birdie was a 2

)

dan_ep82 · 08-04-2019 9:50am

Played Sat and Sunday.

Off the backs both days.

32 16/16 with nothing great in it, missed slot of putts. Driving again cost me a lot of shots.

37 15/22
Driving cost me again. Irons were mediocre but chipping was very good. Into a strong wind on 15 so even with one of the good drives of the day I still had 210 to the flag. 3w to pin high and that rolled out to 10ft. Lipped for birdie.

Playing lesson Wednesday followed by a full lesson Saturday to work on whatever he sees.

Happy with how the work is going so far.

benny79 · 08-04-2019 10:26am

A Crap 24 points yesterday scratched the first 2 holes after 2 great drives and lost the head a bit! worse score since joining my new club! My chipping and putting was shocking lack of practise is showing on this plus greens being pole folked didnt help..On the plus side was smashing my Driver again which I was chuffed about as have being really struggling with it the last few months.. Just found something and it clicked..

Was such a nice day we decided to play another 9 after are round and I was much better practised a bit of chipping too. So hopefully my swing keeps up because my contact is sweet good to see my lessons paying off..

Think I need a few practise rounds instead of just playing comps all the time..

mighty magpie · 08-04-2019 10:48am

32 points on saturday and sunday. both +10

Drove the ball very well on saturday but my chipping was off so a lot of bogeys
Drove the ball awful on sunday but my chipping/putting was much better. Holed a lot of putts from 6 to 10 feet but majority of those were for bogey again. Had my first 4 pointer in a long while.

Funny old game.

Winter tees are out of play so scores have came down but still placing everywhere.

08-04-2019 5:59pm

33 14/19 off 23 on Sunday first qualifier in new home club so was delighted to be in buffer after a few poor rounds. Strange day in terms of consistency, driving started of poorly enough pushing drives to the right but irons were saving me and putting was poor with 4 3 putts. Middle of round had 4 pars in 5 holes and then finished driving well but started thinking irons but putting saved me.

I thought the same with the score although I'm sure he was the group two in front of me that day.playing partners might have agreed to cut off after 5 shots to keep pace.

I seen two or three tops off the tee and a similar story from the fairway and that was just the odd shot I seen.

paulos53 · 09-04-2019 10:55am

The new rules allow for "Maximum Score" strokeplay events. e.g. 5 over par per hole.
He possibly didn't return his card and the computer gave him the max score on each hole instead of NR

martinkop · 09-04-2019 12:15pm

Played first 18 holes of the season last weekend. Had 40 points (playing off 18), very happy to see the winters work paying off, unfortunately non qualifying as we were clean and drop still.

Still felt I left shots out there, so hopeful the handicap will start coming down this year. First qualifying round this weekend, looking forward to it.

callaway92 · 10-04-2019 2:08pm

Shot a 69 at the weekend on a Monthly Medal (course par 71).

It was lift, clean and place on the fairways. Can we not get cut for that? Happy days if so!

KevH1984 · 10-04-2019 3:06pm

Long time lurker, thought I'd join in.

First qualifying competition at the weekend for ourselves. Had 41 points off 6, won the gross for the first time which I'm delighted with. 4 bogeys, 3 birdies (a 2 included $$$$) and 11 pars, very solid stuff and nothing wild which is a rarity for me. Still room for improvement and hopefully not my good round out of the way for the year.

Could be qualifying if clean and place on fairways only. Check your golfnet

davegilly · 10-04-2019 5:44pm

37 points today off 20. Highest score ever, previous was 33 so delighted with this. Putting and chipping was immaculate for a change. Left plenty behind me but got a few lucky bounces as well so all evened out I suppose.

Not sure if I'll get cut for this, hopefully I will but as it was an open comp away from home course I'll have to wait a few days to find out.

Birdies - 0
Pars - 8
Bogeys - 4

dan_ep82 · 11-04-2019 7:06pm

35 Pts
15/20

Had a playing lesson last night so still working things out and get the swing changes to feel more natural. At the minute it's very much a proccess to hit the ball rather than just hitting it. Playing Saturday and will get some time on the range before then.

spacecoyote · 15-04-2019 10:10am

32 points at the weekend in tough enough conditions. Strong South-easterly wind blowing in. Whenever the wind is blowing anything other than the prevailing, scores do tend to drop in my place. With soft conditions, and little run, a lot of the members struggle for distance.

CSS came in at 74, so hit my buffer.

Was pretty disappointed with some of how I played, in particular my putting. Had a look at my stats, and it was my worst putting performance since July of last year (in terms of total putts). Arguably it was worse when I look at my actually GIR numbers. I had 36 putts, but only hit 28% GIR, when I last took 36 putts I'd hit 40% GIR. I really just couldn't get a read on the greens at all

87 strokes
6 Pars
9 Bogeys
3 Doubles

After 14 holes I knew I needed to pick up some pars to try hit my buffer. And proceeded to par the 15/16, index 8 & 2. The 16th, in particular was a really nice par, wind strongly in & across, took a good drive, followed by a good 3w to hit the green in 2.

Proceeded though to scratch the par 3, index 16 17th, to throw away the 2 shots gained back on the previous holes.

Thought it was a definite 0.1 on the way, until I saw the CSS, so got very lucky.

pakman · 15-04-2019 12:47pm

32 points with 4 scratches on the card.

After lesson during the week I was hitting fantastic drives but iron play all over the shop and no confidence. Range this week I think.

Putting was terrible too but on newly seeded greens so I take no blame for that

Kiith · 15-04-2019 2:17pm

Didn't play great on Saturday. It was a team competition, and neither of us scored well. I drove the ball as good as i have in a long time, as i changed my swing up a bit before the round, and that seems to have helped a lot. My short game is absolutely awful though. On 15 for example, drove the ball 292 yards and was 60 yards short of the green. Took out my SW, bladed it into a tree 30 yards past the hole, and ended up with a 7. Stupid mistakes like that happened on several holes, and it completely screws up my round.

I did hit a 337 yard drive though, so that was fun

OffalyMedic · 15-04-2019 2:26pm

Played April Medal at weekend. Went for a lesson about 10 days ago and got such a bad dose of the S***ks the pro refused to take my money. Needless to say i wasn't expecting much on Sunday.

Suprised myself with only the 1 s***k in the entire round and had a consistent miss left which i was actually happy with cause up to now my misses were everywhere so couldn't figure how to fix them. Finished +14 off 12....7 pars, 8 bogies and 3 doubles. Room for improvement but it's another steady 18holes and a win so will take it! Give myself lots of birdie chances on last 6 or so when i straightened up my iron shots

gypsy79 · 15-04-2019 3:58pm

****e!! Where has it gone wrong

22 points off 19. Driving beautiful and putting reasonably

But.....

I can’t hit an iron to save my life and as for my chipping

Fearful for European on Saturday. Plan work my ass off. Lesson tonight

billy3sheets · 15-04-2019 6:17pm

Shot 92 off 16 in April Medal on Sunday. That was +19 over par but CSS was 77 so effectively +15. Cut 0.3.
Got a minor prize and had a 2 so won a few euros too.
Overall very happy especially with irons and overall consistency.

martinkop · 16-04-2019 7:19am

First stroke play of the year. Brutal round in crazy wind, 46 out, 57 back - 103 (85 net)plus a few brain farts didn't help either!!!!
Onwards and upwards!!!

32 points and I've 23 handicap. Last 2 rounds before today I scored 40 each time to get myself down from 25 to 23. Driving and long game in general killing me. I had several up and downs to save bogey.

How did you score in your last round? - 2019
