Victorian Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Golf is a weird game. I won 6&4 today. I shot an 83 that included 4 birdies and an 11. Lol. How does one have an 11 in a matchplay game? Did the other guy hole out for a 10 and you had a putt for a half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irufushi Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 NR on the first hole in the medal. Offfft, I shot 79 round spey Valley, out in +1 and back in +6, pissed away shots towards the end, all bogeys. Had 4 three putts today too. If the css is the usual 78 I should get cut a couple, hopefully. Played with a guy from Edinburgh who hit the 641 yard par 5 in two, then 3 putted from 15 feet. Ouch!

Yip, 78 has been the css for the previous 2 opens I've played, I'd imagine today will be no different, it's a miss a fairway and reload course for the most part. Ray, the guy who smashed it on in two played off 12! He hit some ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any for sale signs sighted at the houses which surround the course? It was in mint condition, best I've seen it in,they've made a few changes like making a few bunkers smaller and filled them with new sand, ( some were very poor when I played it 2 years ago).

StSow Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 78 round mortonhall. Fastest greens I've played on in this country, get on the wrong side of the green with a gust of wind and you where degreening them. -2 after 6 holes too A triple and 2 doubles tend to destroy scorecards though. Still, the alternative was going to tynecastle so it's not all doom and gloom. Glen tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Balbirnie Park Open this morning. Struggled off the tee and put myself into too much bother to score. A triple and two double bogies on front nine done some early damage to the card. A steadier back nine resulted in a 34 pointer. Definitely a few points left out there. Another round closer to getting rid of that early season 24 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Drained a 10 footer at the last for a birdie to claw into the buffer. Some scrambling was going on to mitigate for some idiocy. Two short putts darted straight left and sling shotted out but my other holing out was solid. 3 double bogeys are a triple headed ***** on my card but it all ended in a 78-7=71. 34 points that will be.

StSow Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 +5 I think round the glen today. I'd imagine the course doesn't play much easier with nearly no wind. Making bogeys from less than 130 yard approach shots isn't good enough. A very enjoyable morning still 11 birdies in two rounds with a combined total of +11. Time for a week off golf I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Played Ballumbie Castle up in Dundee on Saturday. Ok course, some tricky holes with some huge elevations, really nice clubhouse. They have their own 'Amen Corner' at 10/11/12. First is a par 4, big dogleg right with 2 burns cutting across at the corner then a big pond in front of the green. Laid up to the corner with an easy hybrid then hit an 8 iron flush on the flag...only for my ball to skelp a staked sign at the front of the green (who puts a sign at the front of the green?!) and propel off at 45 degrees straight into the pond.

Samuel Camazzola Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Liberton Open this Sunday for me. ?12. Loads of spaces left too. ?12 is a cracking price. I don't think you can get signed on as a guest at that rate. Driver can be avoided although the 14th was extended by about 80 yards a few years back. The competition tee is beside the 11th tee now. 3rd was extended by about 50 yards a while back but an iron off the tee should avoid bringing fairway bunker into play. It's a par 67 but CSS will likely drop to 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
