peasy23 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Played a Stableford this morning, started like a train, fell away in the middle, then finished with 4 pars in the last 5 holes. Think there was only 1 hole that I scored nothing on. Not allowed to input scores using the touchscreen for obvious reasons, will have to wait until Monday to see how I got on.Going to be tough for clubs to get through this, and I've no idea if we will still be allowed to play, even if it is only socially. Bar closed, and locker room closed at close of play tomorrow. Our chef is going to run a collection service, and is looking into doing deliveries. Only plus point is that it is a time of year when members have just paid their fees, so there is plenty cash in the bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Turns out I got 41 points, which was only good enough for 3rd in the 3rd class. Meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I keep hooking my second shot on the same hole. My irons are generally solid. But on the exact same hole my last 4/5 rounds I’ve hooked the approach. About 150-170 yards. So frustrating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So frustrating Yep, went through the same last year. 3 weeks in a row hit cracking drives down the 7th hole at Bishopbriggs, then followed it by pushing my second shot away to the right. Couldn't find my ball the second week, but I did find it on the third week when I put my shot in almost exactly the same place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our greens had just been cored and sanded last week, they'll be unplayable in a week or so anyway. Need to get my mat and net set up in the garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Same work was carried out on mine last week too, choking to play aswel Saturday was the first full 18 holes I had played since about November, all down to how wet the weather had been through the winter. Course was closed a lot of times when I was aiming to play, and lots of winter greens at other times that put me off playing. Kicking myself a bit now tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been lucky that we were only shut a couple of days during the rain, I still didn't really play much tho, fairway matts put me off, temporary greens on some days mostly fully open, think iv had around 10 rounds since November would like to have played more, I was going to pop over to yours last week but wasnt sure how it held up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hahn Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I played on Friday after work and Sunday and glad I did. My course is also now closed. Tbh, I wasn't finding life in the corona world too bad. I've been working from home for a week now, only leaving the house for a trip to the supermarket or for a run and that'd all been fine. But the closure of the golf course was a sore one. There were a few of my pals who were pretty down when their gym got closed and I guess now I know the feeling of your main hobby all of a sudden not being available. I've played 5 rounds I think so far this season and was really coming onto a game. Had a couple of really good 9s without putting anything special together over the 18 including a 1 over par front 9 last week. Obviously there's bigger things going on atm than my mediocre-at-best golf game but on a personal level, it's a b*****d thing to happen when you're playing well. Hopefully the restrictions can be reduced soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hahn Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It appears some clubs already starting to feel the strain of corona. This from Brora: A course that's been on my bucket list for a while, hopefully they can keep going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
