Going to assume he’s just joined and they’ve messed up putting his initial cards in for handicap. Aw man. That's better, we were chatting about someone scooping the kitty!

joondalupjambo Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bit of news from Lundie if anyone playing there soon. The greens were speeded up for the Scottish Boys Championship and the pins put in ridiculously hard positions. Then after that finished the greens continue to be ironed even more and it is like putting on concrete. Not a lot of grass and a bit of sand on them all so time will tell how it pans out in the coming months. Pins still in silly positions. A lot of members going daft about it and WHS for many just going up and up. Some crying others stopping playing in comps or putting in general play rounds. So new Head Greenkeeper (club call him course manager as is the trend) after the current one confirmed he was retiring after circa 30 years service. New guy has come from a Championship course and now it looks like he thinks we need Championship greens. Complaints being put in daily apparently and so it will be interesting to see the outcome. Members club with at least 60% over 55 and so basically greens too difficult. Visitors and many others will probably love it but interesting debate in that going on as to who the course is for. Change is always difficult but change with no communication as to what is being done is worse. Fully expect something to give in the next week or two.

Rudi Skacel Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Played there 3 weeks ago. Loved the fast greens. Just think you get better roll on them. Contrast that to Leven which we played after where they were so slow. Would def go back an play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three weeks ago they were slow 🙂 Honestly if you went there today you would notice a huge difference. I like fast greens but there are fast greens and fast greens plus if you add in daft pin positions so you get very few straight putts it makes it a royal pain in the backside 🙂 It will be interesting to see what happens when we get a bit of grass growth on them and they start to cut again instead of the constant rolling.

merrymac Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Gentlemen., I know this is a bit off topic but wanted to give the JKB golfing fraternity first chance.

So just PM me and the spot is yours, you just have to put up with me for a couple of hours I am looking to get to the stadium at 11.30am.

But probably more so twenty. I used play constantly, then once or twice a year for about 10 years and then no golf. I still don't have the big I had, when I young and through my teens, but I just need an upgrade. Thou I'll need to go second hand as £500+ for a driver, ain't happening and £1000s for irons ain't happening either. Golf is extortionate unless you play in a coofield with tree branches and a rock.

I hit provisional just by the green, but for some reason I went hunting and found it. Thorns everywhere. I ended up with a 10 and for the next two holes destroyed my round with a 6 and another 10. I was playing every hole as a par 5, as I've not played much in six months. I few half rounds or circuits of the first 6 or so holes. I'm quite confident I'll break 80 again, before the end of the year. Striking the ball sweet, so when the course dries out, I'll make a few holes very short, compared to the soft shite the noo.

The next hole I hit a monster off the tee, mibbe as good as I’ve ever hit it down this fairway and immediately got back on track with a par, par, birdie, par, par and then double bogey at the last with two hideous shots near the green🙈 Ive played 12 holes this year and wondered if yesterday I was gonna be all over the place but hitting it sweet as. Itll likely be a different story in the medal lol. We’ll see. Cheers pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
