I've got my greens back
I've just taken my daughter to school and on the way back I walked over a small piece of grass, and it was soft!
Oh the joy of hiiting a golf ball and watching it land on the green and stop on the green.... lol
This last two weeks with the greens frozen it's been hard. All those big bounces taking the ball through the green.
I played a stableford competition yesterday and I played well, scored 32 points and I was happy with that. I'd learnt over the few previous rounds to forget the green with my approach shot, so I aimed to leave it short and if the ball got a good bounce it would roll up onto the green, if not, then it would be just short of the green, leaving me with a chip/putt onto the green.
I'm playing tomorrow (hopefully) so it should be a different game.
On Wednesday we have another stableford competition and I'm hoping to get there for that.
Welcome back greens

I have enjoyed hitting some monster shots off the tees in the cold weather and reaching greens in regulation that normally I am about 70 yds short of. However have had some nightmares around the greens too so it is nice the thaw is here. Just watch out on Wednesday morning as the temperature is due to dip briefly midweek.

Jon, I know what you mean.... lol
I'm reaching parts of the course I don't normally see from a tee!
Normally I walk past these parts of the course after hitting my second shot, on my way to my next shot.
On my course I've even taken a 3 wood off the tee on two holes as the ball had started to run through into the rough on these dogleg holes.
It was different whilst frozen, longer drives meant shorter irons to the green, but you couldn't stop the ball no matter what you did!
