Irufushi Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 So that's 3 guys with their first 10 scores in with Irufushi back on top. http://jkbgolf-com.stackstaging.com/ Quarter final match tomorrow for me in the club championship, can't wait to slay the guy.

hmfc_liam06 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Has anyone played any courses down Newcastle way? Arranging a weekend with the boys and fancy heading down that way. Found a place called Longhirst Hall, the Lakes course looks mental, water on every single hole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Guns Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Just a thought. The Standard Scratch at my course is 33 points. Should we be adjusting our scores for this wee comp in line with the SS of where the score was shot. At a disadvantage here man. Haha.

Victorian Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Don't think any SSS is going to save me. My best medal scores tend to be -2 or -3 at a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a place called Longhirst Hall, the Lakes course looks mental, water on every single hole! Both Longhirst Hall courses are decent. Think one holds a Europro event every year? Certainly used to. Can't help you with anything further sound than Morpeth but dunstainburgh castle and Bamburgh are worth a shot further north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpeth is probably as far north as we'd like to go, we'll be staying in and going out in Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, fair enough pal. High chance I did but it was a good while ago to be honest. There's an island green on a par 4 that I dunked 2 in, but I'm sure that's on the other course (Dawson?) Forgot to mention blyth, played it a few times as part of a reciprocal deal with my club. Decent enough parkland track with a nice clubhouse with good beer.

I'll look at Blyth. Not looking for anything top end, we usually get two rounds and food for around ?60. Played Hopeman last year and Hirsel this August at a similar price point.

Irufushi Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Through to the semi finals, won 3&1 in the end, after being 2 down after 3, and then after getting it back, going 1 down after 11. I played 17 holes around +2. So he would've been well under his handicap, think he played off 7 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bebeto Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Anybody played Wishaw??? Yeah. Course is decent. First few holes are boring and shirt. Couple of holes cross over and are pretty tight to others by that I mean you feel as though your hitting your 2nd over a green from another hole. Great pro though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won a handicap one at another course about 2 years ago, and a scratch one when I was a junior. Take my tactics. Give them their gimmes on the front nine and when the pressure starts to build, give nothing on the back nine. All irrelevant if you're strolling it though.

Victorian Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Unlucky. Take it on the chin. Club champy round 1. Started with a horror +3 at the first. Tough tomato. Had a 4 putt later from just off a green. Missed numerous chances to make progress but had no fortune. Sometimes you just get zilch. 34 points.

Not sure if there is a joining fee or not could anyone let me know what it is? Cheers Cracking course. Greens like upturned saucers but a couple of driveable par 4s. For the vicinity, I much prefer Gullane but couldn't tell you the difference in subscription rates. You may see square heid John Collins at Craigielaw as I'm pretty certain he is a member.

hmfc_liam06 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Scramble at Montrose today. Decent links course, tough track in some strong winds. Two 450 yard par 4's back to back into the wind to start the back 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Club champy round 2. Started with another horror +2. Did quite well. Holed out very well from the 4-6 feet range. Missed a short one. Drained one long one. Hitting with the driver and woods was very good over the 36. My iron play is not good enough really. My delicate chipping is still very poor. 5 shots away from qualification. 35 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionG Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Managed to get 39 points yesterday, not sure I actually played any better, just think course was playing pretty short with the amount of run, my short game was actually pretty poor as couldn't judge the amount of spin/run very well. But the course was definitely playing easy, going by the scoring in general, doubt I even made top 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
