Do you Gen Play at all? I pretty much put a card in for every round I play
I've never handed in a Gen Play card. Anything which isn't a counter tends to be 10-14 holes after work in the summer. Some Sunday full rounds with someone who isn't a member. I think I need to rethink the cards posted based on the number of rounds you have all mentioned

I reckon I usually have around 25-30 scoring rounds per year, although I play on a links that's in decent nick all year round.
Game is in the shitter atm though.
Thanks for this. I would have expected a minimum of 20 scoring rounds a year for me but looking more closely at last year I hardly played in April (football) and only 1 mid week counter all season. Need to change that this year.

Out of interest, how many medal cards do you all post over the season? I felt like I played most Saturdays last season from April to the end of September but it appears I only played in 12 handicap counters which doesn't seem like many. The rest was taken up with Scrambles, pairs, other team comps etc.

A very good display from us today. Punished Dundee for their dismal defending. Good to see O'Hara looking more like he was last season. Strain makes a huge difference, but the whole defence were very good. A well deserved 3 points.

Got the handicap down from 8.9 to 6.8 last Saturday. Best ever score off the whites, but was 1 under par standing on the 17th tee and finished double-bogey, bogey to finish 2 over. Delighted and gutted

25th April 1959 St. Mirren 3 Aberdeen 1. A crowd of over 108k ( the last 6 figure cup final attendance with no OF involvement) saw goals from Miller, Baker (who scored in every round) and Bryceland.
Never realised how enormous the badge on the 59 strip was before

100 yards is quite the change
It may not be as much as that to be honest, but it's a completely different hole now.

I'm just over the water at Cowal and keep meaning to come over and play Routenburn - was the layout changed recently?
Yes, 17th has been shortened by about 100 yds , new green, and is now a par 4. Other than a few bunkers being filled in and turfed offer, that's it.

How’s everyone’s course looking lads? Mines is on matts for at least another 7 days but there is hope with the forecast that it should dry out
First medal for me today (Routenburn). Very wet and boggy in places but the greens were decent. Drainage is usually excellent but the course just hasn't had time to breathe before the next downpour arrives.

Can't say I do - he's a great player on his day, and a European. Very impressive round today midway through an injury comeback. Some folk seem annoyed that he had the audacity to win the Masters.
I get all of that, there is just something about him I don't take to (don't know what it is). I was happy for him when he won it.

I would love to master the art of slapping it into the trees, only to end up on the fairway.

Our bar account has it's own section on the balance sheet so it's easy to see how good or bad it is doing. The figures are certainly boosted by private functions, clubhouse was very busy today with a funeral party in.
We've just had a survey that was specifically about the bar and kitchen, not heard the outcome yet.
One of the biggest ongoing cost concerns at the moment is keeping the bunkers to a good standard. The price of good quality sand is apparently sky high at the moment, costing anywhere between 6 and 10k per bunker depending on the size. They are considering filling a few in to save a bit of cash every year.
I play at a council run course (with a club membership) and last year almost all of our bunkers were filled in and re-turfed. In fairness some of them were always GUR but the cost to sand and maintain was becoming too costly.

I have not celebrated a goal like that in a long time. The mix of everyone in disbelief and sheer joy as to what happened was magic.

Only saw from just before the 3rd goal onwards, but from what I saw it has to be one of our most comfortable performances for a good while.
For me, Elvis, Gogic, Bolton, CBM and Mandron were all excellent but everyone else more than played their part too.Very pleasing all round. Now we really need to make that victory count, by following it up with a win against Dundee.
His last couple of performances have been excellent. I think he got injured winning a very good tackle and the boy landed on him. Hopefully nothing too serious.

I'm not really sure how well we performed as Hibs were so inept.
Although, even when they changed it in the 2nd half and put a bit more pressure on us, we coped rather easily.
Thought we defended excellently. Bolton in particular looks like a great signing. Hope his injury is a minor one and he was taken off as a precaution.
CBM stepped up to the plate. Best performance from him that I've seen so far in a Saints shirt. Kwon was excellent too.
Thought Mandron gave the best performance I've seen from one our strikers in a long time.
Give him chances in the box and he'll score.
Don't think there was any player that had an off day. Even Dunne was good when he came on.
Hopefully the doom mongers will do one for a while.
Agree on Mandron, he really looked up for it and was strong on the ball. Kiltie was brilliant again, he never seems to get the praise that he thoroughly deserves.

Let's not forget their chat about Michael Beale. Yes, this is instead of going to reporters who are covering Scottish games or having anyone with any knowledge of football outwith The Premiership (wee Derek has some championship knowledge). Other than that they would rather give us Billy Dodds and his musical thoughts

It wasn't his. Armstrong threw it over after the water break and it didn't reach the edge of the pitch.
