expatowner Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Missing fairway on drives, couldn't sink anything greater than 6 ft on green. Just not great So a bit of putting practice and choosing two long irons rather than drive and chip and your scores will come down. Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it was just a bad night, played same nine holes few weeks back 6 over.It just didn't happen tbh.

Distant Doonhamer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Played in Wednesday sweep today. Scrappy first nine followed by a decent back 9. Just made the buffer zone right on the mark having played the last 5 holes in even par. Only 11 putts on the back 9 Hopefully a bit of confidence going forward as currently at 8.3 having been playing off 7 last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So in the same week that Sky w**k themselves into a frenzy with the launch of their new sports channels, it turns out that they have lost the rights to the USPGA and as it stands also have no agreement in place for next year's Masters. It's still unclear how the USPGA will be shown, all they have said is that they are looking at different broadcasting mediums to get wider coverage, wonder if they will do something out of left field and put it on Youtube or Twitter? As for the Masters, the BBC still have their current deal in place for highlights on the first 2 days and live coverage on the last 2, seems that Sky aren't happy to cough up unless they have exclusive UK rights, which certainly won't happen next year, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Another game of 2 halfs today in the medal. Out in 44 with a really scrappy display on front 9. Played the first 6 holes of back 9 in 1 under with back to back birdies on 13 and 14th. Followed a great up and down on 15 for a par 3 with a triple bogey 8 on 16th. Finished with 2 tap-in pars. So 44 + 38 for 82 (Net 74) and in the buffer zone. Fecking golf Edited July 16, 2017 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I agree. Which site do you use for live streaming? Would usually stream through kodi but it's being playing up recently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Lord knows what coverage Sky are using for this John Deere tourney, but they make Faldo and Monty sound competent. One of them even managed to change the biggest twat on the Tour's name to DeBryson Chambeau. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Don't like the guy, but fair play to DeChambeau who finished birdie-birdie to nick the win by 1 shot from Patrick Rodgers who finished bogey-par. He's the 10th first time winner on the PGA Tour this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 In our recent club competition I managed to push a much better player all the way, only narrowly losing on the 18th. Its given me heart that I CAN play. Up and at em' [emoji4] Stick at it, I remember when I was about 14 I played the Junior champion from previous yr. 3 yrs my senior and a much better player. I was 3 up after 8.. and was pegged back. Actually won the 17th and was all sq on 18th. My honour. Backed my self and went for the big drive, only to go way left and lose my ball. Seeing what I did my opponent using his better experience dropped down two clubs, took some length of it... straight down middle. I of course lost hole. Gutted for weeks... but knew I could play. Hated it but loved it at same time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I played with my father in law on Sunday morning at Dunfermline and the catastrophic disintegration of my already fragile game continues apace. Went round in 110 blows which is absolutely shamelful, losing 8 balls along the way. Absolutely everything I hit above a 5 iron produces a magnificent slice. The only positives I can take from it were out driving the 3 (admittedly older) guys off the tee on the 6th with my 5 iron whilst they all took woods, hitting to a few feet on the par 3 13th and holing out for a 2 on the 16th from a greenside bunker. Other than that it was utterly abysmal. I've got a bank of lessons to take that I got for my birthday which I think i'll be getting booked in sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The handicapping system is one of the reasons I love golf. It means you can rightfully be absolutely gutted to have lost to a far better player. It still amazes me how many "You're never a x handicap" comments you can get from someone 3 or 4 shots better who doesn't understand that handicaps mean you should have a close game if you both play well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
