Abbotts (White - 10/3/100

March Midweek Medal

Played the midweek medal with Andy Flynn.

Steady par on the first hole, followed with a birdie 2 on the next hole, hit the front of the green and sunk a 35-40 foot putt!

Went out in 42, and back in with 40 shots, gave a total of 82 shots, my best ever score on this course.

I played really well apart from two penalties and three putting four times!

SINGLES MATCHPLAY DRAW 2010

Abbotts (White - 7/3/10)

We started our round in bright sunshine, although it was still cold.  There was a breeze blowing and it was this that was keeping the temperature down.

Great start to my round, a breakfast bap in the clubhouse before going out!!!

Then onto the first tee and I hit a lovely drive.  Down the right-hand side of the fairway and with a bit of a draw.  Although the wind was blowing from right to left I'm claiming a draw!  The tees were right at the front of the tee box and when I got my skycaddie out my drive had gone 256 yards.  This left me with only 90 yards to the flag.  Hit the green about five yards past the flag, but managed to roll my putt in for a birdie.

I cannot complain about my round today.  Some of my shots were not the best but I got away with them.

The last two rounds I've played I've managed to three putt four times in each round!  Today I had one three putt.  It was uphill and I managed to leave it about eight feet short, which meant I missed the next putt!  I have to sort out these putts where I'm leaving them well short.

Priors (Y) 4/3/10

Really happy with the way I was playing, all apart from my putting!  Three putted four times in one round.

All started with the first hole.  I hit a five iron off the tee straight down the middle of the fairway.  Then a PW which I pulled.  This left me 80 yards from the flag, so I hit my GW and aimed left of the flag to allow the wind to take it.  The ball landed on the green and stopped six feet from the flag.   So I walked to the green looking at a good chance of a birdie putt.  Pushed my putt and left it about two feet past the hole, really disappointed with the putt!  So I walked up to the ball and tapped it in, WRONG, missed the hole.  So three putted from six feet!

The greens on the Priors course have been good despite the weather but they were slow.  After the sunshine we've had over the last four days they had dried out, which meant they were a bit faster and this meant less borrow.   So for the rest of the round I was concious of not overhitting my putts, which meant I left a few too short!

Despite the putting everything else was good, so I'm not too unhappy with this round.

Priors (Y) - 28/2/10

Should have been playing golf in the morning but when I got up at 9am it was chucking it down.

Cancelled playing due to the weather and I was sat in the house at 12:45 and the rain had stopped.  Too late to join the others so I elected for a quick round on the Priors course.

Teed off at 1:30pm and I was finished by 4pm.

It was cold and damp, with a strong wind blowing.

My golf was OK, but my chipping was poor today.  Don't know why but every time I had a chip shot I hit the ground first!

A couple of bad holes (10 and 11) ruined my scorecard.

Three putted the 12th hole (Par 3), landed my ball on the green and it ended up about 15 feet past the flag, overhit my first putt and left myself with a four footer for par.

Overall, despite the weather I cannot complain about this round.  Probably all I could expect with the weather.

A wonderful round of golf (but not perfect!) - 87 my lowest score ever! Putted like a demon and drove well - although kept the driver in the bag mostly and hit off the tee with my trusty 3 wood.

A couple of duff shots, and a couple of missed putts - but overall, it doesn't get much better than this!
