Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Fucking buzzing for the medal today.Ā Just aiming to go one better than last week, anything else would be a bonus.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Well I am fucked. That's the first full 18 holes I've walked since my back surgery.Ā Chuffed though as was 7 shots better off than last week, 82 blows Ā Ā and putted really well. We bit more consistent too.Ā Only 12+ par and although a million miles from what I'm used too playing like there is wee glimpses of a golfer. If anyone has played Lanark, you don't go long at the par 3 10th. I did and make an up on down down the sloping green that seve would have been chuffed with.? kplfishtank, dummiesoot and RFC RYAN 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just home from my range session. Started getting the driver going again. By the end had it carrying about 225/230 plus run so it's starting to creep back. Off the tee has been the weakness so far so if I can knock it out there like that I can def work with that and lower scores dramatically.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A won a match play tournament at my course a few years back when I was up at 15/16 was playing against a guy off 5 and he hit the ball for miles a was playing out my skin a blow out a hole or 2 but taking them away I was like +5 par nothing better than sinking a 15-20ft putt for par and you getting a shot on the hole actually felt sorry for the guy just one of they days. Another tie a was playing a tarrier but I wasn't 100% sure at the time until we were on the 4th hole( near the clubhouse/shop) the guy working in the shop came down to the tee as the guy had left his car keys in the shop and said are these your keys and he's like how did you know they were mine the big Sellick key ring. I was 5 dn through 6 holes and came back and won on the extra hole guy was ragin and tried to put me off on the 14th when I went 1 up( I was warned before I played him he would try things like that) he made 2 incredible up and downs on 17 and 18 to take it to the extra hole.Ā I don't say anything like that on the day but I love matchplay. One thing I say to myself alway expect your opponent to sink it.Ā Absolutly hate giving the person shots gave a guy 13 shots last year and he didn't miss 1 fairway and 3 putted twice all round.Ā Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays off 13 n should be off around 6 or 7. We all fight to get him in a scramble team and to get him as a doubles partner because he is a bandit.
