Slat's Journal

We're here all week.

just missing the snare drum and cymbal

baddumtish

nice one bulldog

Am only useful for sound effects

And....

Ripping golf yarns.........

well its my 2nd comp today!
had some productive practice this week
my key thoughts are
1. perform preshot routine EVERY SHOT!
2. stay loose
3. use my shots

hoping to improve on last weeks absymal 14 points which shouldnt be too hard!

Good luck Slats...

That low score is there...

Cheers

not today mate!
it was very windy today and then 10 minutes before tee off the heavens opened almost flooding the course.
conditions were not ideal and we had intermittent heavy shower and even a hailstorm.
driving again impeccable, out driving my lower handicap partners time after time.
hit the ball solidly all day, conditions didnt lend themselves to a finesse short game
bottom line 29 points not bad considering....................

But better than last time, yeah? And in tough conditions? Sounds good to me

Sounds not too bad to me either for the conditions Slats; roughly 7 over - ask some of the pros at the Irish Open who would have taken that.

At this rate of progress you'll match Scragger's 43 points soon - and he calls you a bandit

tons better mate
by the eight hole i was soaked to the skin every thing felt heavy.
i considered quitting the round it was that bad but i thought f**k it im p**s wet through now may as well finish the round.

really would like to play a round in warm sunny weather some time this year

finally got to play a round in the warm sunshine!
saw that the weather was nice so decided to go to the club for a few holes when i got there i was invited to make up a 3 ball that was waiting to tee off.
with no time to worry about anything i hit the sweetest 7 iron to 2 feet and so started the round with a 2!

hit driver well again but my irons were really on song only thing that let me down was the putter.
highlight of the round was the 499yd par 5 17th i hit a pretty good drive down the middle, then a solid 3 wood to about 70yds the green is blind so i went to have a look where the pin was situated i grabbed my sw and lobbed one up really high when i got nearer the green it was 2 foot from the hole so that was a nice birdie on one of the toughest holes.
all in all a very enjoyable round of golf and a score of 89 gross 66 nett

Good Job Pedro...

Unsure of your handicapping regimen over there, but a nett 66 "SHOULD" shave 2 or 3 off a 23 mark. Shouldn't it...???

Excellent work...

Cheers
