Samuel Camazzola Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Cardrona today. Not sure what to expect as the course can be pretty wet and heavy at height of season. Hopefully the greens are in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 My mate who is a really good golfer actually nearly fresh aired off the tee[emoji1] This used to be a big part of my game. Please tell me it was Davie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disser Pointon Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 the wind at the glen will be ******* mental mate,do tell us how you get on and good luck Never played in wind like that before, front 9 was almost playable but the back 9 was a farce, we had to pick up on 3 greens because as soon as you put the ball down it blew away! Managed 26 points which was 4th and decent under the circumstances given that I didn't score on about 6 holes, most people were under 20 points.

Sten Guns Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sten, can't see your pics on my crap office PC but believe there is a place in Loanhead Industrial estate that buys old golf clubs etc. Probably won't get as much as selling on FB etc but saves hassle. Haven't used it myself but a few mates have used it, I just don't know exactly where it is. Cheers, will look this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disser Pointon Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 First proper medal of the season this Saturday and then midweek medal on the Wednesday, really looking forward to it. Game seems to be in good shape after a series of lessons over the winter period which probably means I'll play like an absolute f@nny at the weekend!!!

Bigsmak Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) 9 bunkers in 10 holes. That's my excuse today. Hit the ball well but it seemed to have a homing signal for sand on it. Edited April 4, 2015 by Bigsmak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 First round of 3 done.

Rescued it slightly on the back nine coming back in 44. Drove like a beast but approach play and putter just weren't working today. Enjoyed it though.

Reasonably happy with it being the first medal but can't afford doubles playing off 5. Plenty of positives for the season ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of positives for the season ahead.The only positive for me was my driving I was absolutely booming it off the tees today but it's pretty much the first time I've picked up a club since about October so i can't be too critical just now. Hopefully get up a good bit more in the next few weeks now the better weather is coming. Greens were a bit bumpy today eh. Course was looking decent though...

Disser Pointon Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Greens not bad for the time of year I holed 5 or 6 from 10-12 feet but missed a couple of short ones. A little bit of warmth and growth and they'll be in good nick, the rest of the course is looking good, midweek spoon on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Played Lundin Links today, tee off delayed an hour due to a thick fog...given my front 9 performance I wished it hadn't. Scored 9 points thru 9, actually picked up on the 9th hole and called it a day. Got to the 10th and said if I didn't nail it off the tee then I was definitely walking off. Boomed it and carded 22 points on the back 9 (-5 net). Crazy, crazy sport!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Gin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) My pitching I fluffed 5 or 6 pitches from around 30-40 yards out today by chunking the ground before the ball and trundling it about 10 yards. So frustrating. Braids is in decent nick though. Far better than the state of Carricknowe on Saturday.

Rudolf's Mate Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Any recommendations for places to get good deals on irons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I got a quite nice Phillips one out of Currys. Try Clubhouse Golf online. I've found them quite good the times I've used them in the past mate. Aye I looked at them last night along with online golf. Clubhouse was considerably cheaper for some irons than some of the places I thought were cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah, and considering they use DPD as a courier, I've not had an issue with those deliveries. I looked at getting the Mizuno EZ irons this year, as they were the better price, though I got a new driver instead. They've got a set of Cobra AMP Cells reduced from ?549 down to ?229! A few places have them cheap but nowhere near as cheap as that. Some nice Callaway sets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I played in a medal on Sunday morning in heavy winds and heavy rain. It was freezing. I hit the ball well tee to green but struggled with the putting the ball into the hole bit of the game.. My hands were wet and cold. As expected, the rain stopped and the wind calmed down in the afternoon so the medal was a counter and I am up another point 1. Next time.

Victorian Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's about 5 months since I picked up a club. I'm not looking forward to seeing how my general fitness must have suffered as a result. May be slightly rusty as well. Should be eventful.

Ray Gin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Why oh why can I not stop hitting fat iron shots. 2 practice swings. Perfect. Try to hit ball....chunk the ground 3 inches before the ball. Dafuq. Even doing it with little chips around the green. Hit a 300 yard drive to the fringe of the green on a par 4 on Saturday. Chunked my chip. 3 putted. Ended with a 5. Ridiculous.

Chunked my chip. 3 putted. Ended with a 5. Ridiculous. I feel your pain but in a different way. My iron play has always been my saving grace, I'd even play irons off the tee because I was getting just as much distance out of a 4 iron than I was out of any wood in my bag but this year so far I have been abysmal with them. Zero consistency. One shot will be perfect, the next is a shank, next shot perfect, next is a hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I used to be the same, but after a lot of time on the range my driving is now usually decent (although I still have the odd round where it goes wrong). My driving pulled me through big time on Saturday. Only had one duff, the rest were all 250-300 and on the fairway or just light rough and still a decent lie. I think I only hit about 5 clean iron shots the whole round, but still managed to shoot an 86 and a personal best of 3 birdies in a round. So frustrating when you melt a peach of drive down the middle only to follow it up with a chunked approach shot that trundles about 50 yards.
