Samuel Camazzola Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Season opener, Captain v Vice Captain match tomorrow. Hopefully, the rain eases off and the course isn't boggy.

hmfc_liam06 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 All the Glasgow courses on teeofftimes were either winter greens or mats so we opted for Falkirk. Decent enough course if unspectacular. Golf Show was decent. 4 free Titleist balls, an Under Armour polo for a tenner, my 3 free rounds and a perve at Carly Booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StSow Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 First medal for a few months. Surprised myself to play to my hcap. Putter was pretty cold but managed an eagle, a birdie wth 4 bogeys for +1 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Still not picked up a club but playing the medal next week.

The greens couldn't be rolled today either as they are too soft. If there isn't too much rain and a period of warmth, the course should look be fine by end of April.

Samuel Camazzola Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It was my first visit since October so I don't know what activity has been going on. Shortened versions of courses certainly helps from my experiences at other places. The holes can be rotated with common walkways given a rest. Allowing buggies on in the winter doesn't help too.

I played it a couple times over the winter and both times it was soaking, no way the big greens should have been on. Full on plugging on the green, can't have been healthy for them.

VivaObua Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 First medal of the season next Saturday so I decided to get the clubs out the shed this morning, surprised how tidy I was around the green but I couldn't drive the ball more than 100 yards duck hook every time. I've struggled badly off the tee for years can't seem to get rid of my hook might look at a lesson this year see what's going on as I've never met a 7 handicapper who drives like I do.

Yep apparently doubtful to tee off today in his first Masters. Reckon he will be stretchered to the tee if need be, can't see him missing that opportunity.

Armageddon Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Great round from Sergio too apart from that tournament ruining 13, how anybody doesn't play safe on the second ball is crazy. Spieth is an absolute machine at Augusta, the putting on those slippy surfaces is the best by a mile. To think he's 24 and should have 3 green jackets already.

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Played in a 3 man scramble today, 5 tee shots each so it was a tough gig. Finished level par for a net 61 so nowhere near the prizes. We must have left 8 or 9 birdie putts an inch shy of the hole. Swinging pretty well just now, hopefully carry this on into the season.

Bigsmak Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Played in the first round of our clubs mixed foursomes today. My partner is off 33 and I had never seen her play golf before.. I'm playing with her as my mum felt guilted into playing with my dad this year... Which is nice... Anyway, just found out this week that my partner is not long out of hospital and can't make it round the course, so had a buggy today... OK.. I thought... Anyway.. We were given 2 shots, (which is the first time I've shots for a long time) and we needed them. My goodness, my partner was playing a completely different game to the golf I play. I think we three putted nearly every hole as she wasn't being given anything over 2 foot. I was getting us onto par 5s in 3, and she would putt it up to maybe 20 foot or something.. It was amazing! ... Anyway we won on the 18th as I hit a 3 iron 210 yards into 6 foot and our opponents couldn't make 4.... What a game, so different... On the flip side of it all, it was brilliant company playing with 3 people who I don't really know and it was really relaxed. Had some good banter and was had to enquire more about the 28 year old granddaughter etc. etc etc... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Out in 38, back in 48 for me today. On the back 9 I was stuck behind trees three times, chunked pitch shots into the sand twice and managed to melt a 7 iron 30 yards further than usual clean over a green and into bushes.

StSow Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Was meant to be at mortonhall on Friday in a club outing but got changed to Gullane 2 due to mortonhall being shut with snow. Really enjoyed it, some cracking holes and the greens were a treat to putt on at this time of year. Only 31 pts but threw away a few silly shots due to lack of practice. Played today in a pairs comp, ball striking is fine and my putting is getting there. However my short pitching and chipping is absolutely brutal. Going to have to spend a fair amount of time in a quiet spot on the course and get it sorted one evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmitchell Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Any of you lads found a shift in attitude towards letting faster players play through? I often nip up to Ratho for a quick round by myself but on the last few occasions have been hampered by 3 or 4 balls who won't let me play through? This didn't happen at Torphin when I was a member there? It's getting on my tits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
