Anyone play golf today?

The weather was perfect for it! Played at East horton-Parkland course today, i felt i didn't do so great but my score says otherwise. The greens were pretty good, fairways were wonderful but the tees were pretty bad, lack of grass and alot of divots that haven't been replaced.

So how did you get on? and where did you play?

Played at thorpe wood today as usual course in good nick,greens a bit slow.

Heavy rain showers were forcast but they missed us.

Played the front 9 ok but lost focus on the back 9 and my score reflected this.

Played at Blacknest today, played like an idiot for the first couple including an eleven on  the third which will really test your positivity!! course was in good shape and for a relatively short course was quite challenging. sporadic light drizzle but nothing too serious

Jamie

Divot hadnt been replaced on the tees or fairways?

As I have always been told not to replace divots on tees. use the seed or sand.

Dave CAC handed Geordie.

If played and finished 1 under gross (well on the last 2 holes in any case), the rest of the round was one to forget.

Played in the Sunday Stableford this morning. Had a decent round, scoring 37 points, 21 front 9, 16 back 9 (picked up on 2 holes, back 9).

Altogether, made 10 pars, missed a couple of birdie putts, but overall quite pleased after some of the 'horror rounds' I have put in recently.

yeah i was eleven over  over after three and i triple bogeyed the last and the double bogeyed the 6th  so by my count i was six over for the other 13 which i was happy with (there is logic in there somewhere!!).  having never played the course and only playing once a fortnight  because of work I was happy with my pars and birdie.

 it was a nice course not too challenging but  some lovely par threes and the greens were great, not quick but you could have a good run at your putts

played my local course enderby, 9 hole   done 18

done 43 1st nine 7 over par

then 49 2nd time round

so 92 in total

What's the course like at Ansty, John?

Am playing Tilgate forest today. Nice and sunny but had loads of rain. Also playing sweetwoods 2morow on JP's recommendation for £17.50. Greens like augusta  so ive heard.

Will let you know what happens. I predict a 68 and a 72. Then at sweetwoods...........

Dave CAC handed Geordie.

Played this morning. New irons, new grip. Managed to complete 3 holes in just 6 blows! The rest was a round to forget.

Just played at High Elms in Kent, glorious morning, really friendly people, course in nice condition. I didnt play great, but I'm still happy......

i played in the springwater open today (springwater is where the east midlands qualifier was) i shot a gross 80 and with my playing partner we shot between us (best score from two) 41 points and finished in fifth place, winners scored 44 points

happy days

NIce shooting Daz, played G Tour at Wokefield this morining , well 7 holes had to retire with a bad back .Pulled a muscle lower right going after my 2nd shot into the 6th par 5 index 1. Gutted. Still sore now,

my handicap has now come down another 0.4 so thats 0.6 this month and could have been more if i could only just eradicate those stupid shots ( missed 3ft putts, 3 putting, missing the green with only a 9iron in my hand ect ect)

1 good thing today though

i had a drive on the 17th hole a par 5 530 yards down wind gps measured at a stonking 370 yards, only had a 9 iron shot left and missed the green to the right  which leaves a stupidly hard, no chance of gettin g it close chip to which i didnt get close (suprisingly enough) but managed to get a par. little gutted really after only having a nine iron for my second shot on a par 5

Today I hit a PB low roud of 85, including 6 pars and no 7's

H'Cap down to 18.5 and was hitting ball very well all day

A lot of PB'S coming in, don't forget to keep tracking your scores and that handicap will fall even more!!

Well done guys!

I also played today with 8 others from Sherfield Oaks at one of our favourite courses, namely, South Winchester, which is a long course of the inland links variety.

I am pleased to say that after a long barren spell I managed to win the money with an 84 gross, nett 67.

I played very solid golf all the way round with only three double bogeys.

I have been pretty busy with my wifes problems, Ivan, and the worry has been taking its toll, so have not been posting.

I wouldn't call what I did today playing, more like walking & thrashing at a little white thing!

Dave reporting a week late.

2 mediocre rounds of 90 at tilgate and 94 at sweetwoods. Tilgate is in fantastic nick ( fairways & Greens ) at the min if anyone is going. Sweetwoods on JP'S recomendation is very nice. A little taste of augusta from holes 4-7 with lakes and bridges. Very fast greens.Par on the SI1 14th. Would play again. Playing hassocks 2morrow, hoping for a sub 85. Anyone played it recently? What sort of nick is it in?

Dave CAC handed Geordie.

Current improvement still showing itself. Today, in the mid-week stableford I shot a gross 80 for 42 points. I am obviously becoming a bandit.

Played today & much better improvement on Saturday.

Hopefully can carry it over into this coming Saturday?

John, you should never have given up that Golfshake Open final spot

"Hopefully can carry it over into this coming Saturday?"

Hope so too....... would like some competition

Darren,

I heard a Welshman made him an offer he couldn't refuse  

Jamie, that has indeed been the case for quite some time now but I finally made a couple of changes that have allowed me to be more competitive.

Providing I do not fall back into my bad old ways then things should really improve from now on.

Darren, I offered my final spot to David as he was desperate to make the final and I felt a little bit guilty beating him on countback at Wokefield. I am quite sure he wll do well.
