Played today.... Hit it pretty shower but still had 37 points. Driver is not working for me  :(

Had a nice highlight though; draining a birdie from 165 out on the par 5 9th with a nice little fade off my 3 iron  :D
Pity it wasn't for my first eagle, but I screwed around in a hazard for a bit there  :P

haha nice chumps ;) what do you play off out of curiosity?

14. Should be into 13 after today though  :)
I don't play that often, just once or twice a week... Never practice  :P

not bad chumps ;) I'm off 11 and do the same as you :P in fact, when I used to practice, I could only ever get down to 14 lol

Doesn't help when you can't drive to the course either  :(

This Sunday, top 16 individual match play play off.

Roost, ranked 7 - playing 10th.

We play nine holes for the top nine, then the highest ranked winner sits out the next nine whilst the remaining eight play off over the next nine. Thus there are five left to play in a five way over nine, then three, then two.

The champion is decided over sudden death, as long as it takes.

Celebratory drinks at The Rising Sun Hotel in Lobethal afterwards  ;D

*FYI, I won the skins tournament a fortnight ago and grabbed a NTP  8)

Thanks pyro. You'll be in single figures soon enough. Just remember to enjoy it, good and bad  ;)

The format was laid out a little different than I expected and so was my form. I made it to the last four and played my best mate for a spot in the final. We went round 9, two all - two sudden death holes later we shook hands and I became his caddy for the final.
The other two vying for the final spot also went to two sudden death holes.
My mate lost the first hole of the final and the favourite looked to be on his game.
But golf is a funny game sometimes and they went into the last hole 2 all (some spectacular golf being played). The favourite takes honour, drops it 12 meters short of the green, on fairway but with some heavy pine needles to contend with. My mate makes it to front edge, still 20ft from the pin. The favourite chips past the hole, maybe eight foot or so. My mate putts to within 10cm..a gimme
So, the favourite now has to make an eight footer to send the final into sudden death, he takes line, the gallery hushes....he glazes it past by two feet and my mate wins!! 8)

38 holes in one day, bloody fantastic fun!

*Two of my other mates played off in the bottom 16 final, with that also going to 1 hole of sudden death - congrats to both.

wow we have a golf thread here!! haha i used to play of 2 when i was 16 and was going to try and take it on full time but when the decision between Golf or Uni came i was playing pretty bad and decided to go with Uni instead.....still love playing when i can but health reasons have kept me off the course over the last 3 years, really itching to get back into it soon, hopefully next year fingers crossed, miss this great game so much

hey col, off 2 at 16 :o could have made something from it at that stage, having said that though, I'm sure you would have made a career out of going to uni ;)

@roost I flipping hope so, sick of being someone who plays like a 6 handicapper but can't make a score :P

haha yeah i could have gone somewhere, unfortunately developed the yips with my chipping and putting when i was fiddling with my long game.....totally destroyed my touch and wrecked my game, got to the stage where i was shooting 80's after hitting 15 greens in reg...was rediculous. Its taken 8 years of only playing casually to get some sort of natural touch back in my game, can't wait to be well enough to get out and play regularly again and see how low i can get

sounds a bit like me recently actually, for some reason I always lose touch during the winter, must be cause my hands are numb from being cold :P starting to regain it now though :)
