Bigsmak Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) First medal of the year today - 78 less 4, 74 round Gullane No1 - - I had a 7 on the 6th (easy par 4) taking three to get out a bunker - 3 putted 4 times and took 4 from the side of the 12th green - Couple really good birdies including a 2 and 7 or 8 tap ins for par. Nearly drove the 340 18th hole as well... so Bring on the season! Meant to say - the course was in great condition, greens were brilliant and I'm a lucky bugger playing golf at this time of year!

Did you putt with the flag in or need to take any knee-height drops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionG Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I’ve actually not even thought about next season, not played since last competition of last season. Really need to get back into it and be prepared for the start of the season, rather than my usual slow start. Might actually look at Opens this week and make my plans for the season.

Im in the same boat, my last game of golf was around the start of October, and I went to the driving range in November . Off work next week really need to get out, before we know it the season will be in full swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very rarely watch pro golf on tv. Has there been much putting with the pin in? are we going to see pin being left in for those horrible swinging down-hillers?

hmfc_liam06 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 81 less 17 for a net 64 today. Would have been staring at a 1.2 stroke cut as well but our winter handicaps don't carry forward. Was full course as well so I'm a bit gutted it doesn't really count for much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting the ball well but misjudging all distances with wedges causing me to take 3 from within 100 yards a lot...... I know that is down to a lack of playing / practising but it is still frustrating. My long game is good though, and I'm hitting ball off the tee as well as I can, nearly drove a couple of Par 4s that are not usually in range so was very happy with this... It really makes a huge difference when I'm hitting wedge and my playing partner has a wood in their hands.... Looking forward to the season and think i can get back to 3 again (think i'm 3.9 just now) and would love to actually win something this year!

But the rangefinder worked fine, only used it a few times as I couldn't keep my hand steady enough in ****ing wind Played yesterday at pumpherston, where we had 18 winter Greens. The rangefinder worked fine and gave me correct yardages so for £65, would definitely recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it's a really tough course though. Panmure has been on the hitlist for a while.

If you've not seen it, look out the one with Rory in the car with Stenson and Poulter where he calls Thomas Bjorn ahead of the Ryder Cup. Bjorn does a response video too which is good.
