Cowshed Chris Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Played my first medal of the season yesterday having not played a whole lot of golf at all this year. Started with a double but was only 3 over at the turn. Dropped one at 13 before duffing into jungle off the 14th tee and taking an 8. Went bogey, bogey, double after that with a par at the last saving buffer by way of stableford adjustment. Was expecting nothing other than a +0.1 before I teed off so pleased that the game isn't as bad as first thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our view of a round often dictated by where we screw up. I had a round last year where I made the buffer despite finishing with 2 triple bogeys. It was harder to feel positive that day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was caddying on Friday on Elie gc, first time I have seen it, a beautiful course. Back again caddying on monday. I hit NET 61 on my course in the thursday medal (6 under) so expecting HC to get a good cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Passed the Royal Troon Open course yesterday on the train and they already have the grandstands up. Daily admission tickets are £80. 18th green reserved stand seats still available for the Friday (15 July) at £75. Is this on top of general admission £80 tickets? http://www.theopen.com/Tickets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this on top of general admission £80 tickets? http://www.theopen.com/Tickets Yes, the £75 is in addition to the general admission. If you bought them before the end of May they were 25%ish less. I'm going on the Tuesday practice day, cost £25. Much more informal and you are allowed to take pictures, which you aren't allowed to do on the competition days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_for_life Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Never been to an event and I know it will be buttons to some but £80 seems ridiculous to me. I couldn't justify paying that to watch a days golf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't justify paying that to watch a days golf. It does sound expensive, but you can watch over 14 hours play on the Thursday and Friday and all the world's best players are there. Compare that to 15-20 quid for a bog standard football match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I have qualified as 16th of 16 for the knockout stage of our club championship (scratch). Have previously qualified for the handicap knockout but this is a bit of a step up. Playing a guy who is off scratch so don`t see it ending well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have previously qualified for the handicap knockout but this is a bit of a step up. Playing a guy who is off scratch so don`t see it ending well. Great achievement, well done! Nothing to lose, just play your own round and you never know. Like I've said previously on this thread, I'm new to golf, only taking it up a couple of months ago but making good progress. Such a frustrating game though. Played up at Callander on Saturday afternoon (£8 on teeofftimes, bargian) and had a really good round. Didn't really keep score, my mate and I were just playing to win the holes, but really enjoyed it. Played Lethamhill on my own yesterday, best round I've had to date, 88 strokes. Never lost a ball the whole round and just plotted my way round with nothing longer than a 4 hybrid. Inspired me to go out this morning before work, working up in Kinross this week so went to the 9 hole course at Lochore Meadows. Absolutely horrendous, actually couldn't strike the ball, topping it, hitting the ground, everything. Sacked it after 7 holes because I was going to be late and really didn't enjoy it. I hate golf.

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I hate golf also I played thursday medal and was -6 Net I played 9 holes earlier on the same course and lost 5 balls and only got 1 par.

Managed to win a couple of holes. Slightly worried it was going to be a dog licence at one stage. Anyway well chuffed to have made it.
