Distant Doonhamer Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Good run of scores ended today. Playing off 6 and dropped 5 shots in first 2 holes. Always a struggle after that. Actually fought back pretty well to be out in 43 and back in 40 despite 3 putting the last for another double bogey. Played the par 3s in level and the par 5s in one under but a real struggle on a good number of the par 4s. Back up to 5.7 from 5.5. Another good score due to leave my 20 after another competition round tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser_soze Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Played my home course today (Balbirnie) off a single figure handicap for the 1st time. A reasonable return of 36 points in the stableford, more pleasing is that I kept a 6 and double bogey off the card for the 2nd consecutive round, checking back my stats it's now 44 competitive holes since I carded a score over a 5, hopefully it continues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fine effort. I had no worse than a bogey on my card today. That's in sharp contrast to 3 doubles plus a triple bogey yesterday.

keyser_soze Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Sorely tempted to upgrade my irons, currently using a 3-PW set of Lynx #BB tour but have had them for 4 years now so grips are getting towards the end of their life. Saw a Set of Callaway Rouge ST Pro (3-PW) but slightly put off by the 2nd hand price of £630, also playing really well with my current irons so seems daft to splash the cash, especially at the tail end of the season. Heart says buy them, you never know when another set like this will be available, head says I'll get at least 1 more year from my current set 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer when the current clubs are getting the job done.

peasy23 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 The FedEx St. Jude goes to a playoff between Glover and Cantlay. I've never seen a golfer sweat as much as Glover has today, but he has holed miles of putts. He had a birdie putt to win it on the last which was bang in the middle of the hole, but came up a foot short. Can't be many golfers more beige than Cantlay, but he definitely keeps his best stuff for these playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Glover pars, Cantlay shaves the hole with his attempt. Back to back wins for Glover. He's going to be hard for Johnson not to pick him for the Ryder Cup, he's up to 5th in the FedEx standings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is going to be leaving a couple of guys out he would have never thought likely a couple of months ago. The last two majors and this run from Glover has blown his likely team out of the water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark, Harman and Glover probably weren't even on his radar at the start of the year, now the first two look like auto qualifiers while Glover is going to be very high up the FedEx rankings. They changed their rules to suit the FedEx when Horschel won it after being left out in 2014. Combined with the guys who left for Liv then the likely US team looks a lot less scary than it could have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harman has been more consistent tbf, but I'd much rather face the two of them than an in form Finau or Thomas. Johnson is going to have a tougher job with his captain's picks than Donald imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he gets picked is if Johnson thinks having him there will make Speith play better, as I'm fairly sure that he will get a captain's pick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
