Managed to get a light ing 18 holes in after work with the wife caddying. Managed to get a birdie on the 8th, only lost 5 balls, and best drive was 230 yards off the tee with my cobra 3-wood!!

Weather was a little wet to begin with (looking forward to when the Gallway Bay wet weather turns up).

Played a round today and did really well but my shot of the day was on one of the par 3s. Tee shot was 2 foot from the hole for a nice birdie

Thanks. I was certainly pleased with it

Hit probably the best drive if my life today. Was hitting the ball well and decided to go for the green on the par 4 8th hole at my home course. Safe/normal play is take iron off the tee and layup iron off the water. Took driver and crushed a baby fade that landed just short of the green and ended up about 15 feet left and past the pin. Cart GPS said 335 but my garmin watch said 320. Either way, super delighted with it and gladly walked off with birdie even though I gave the eagle putt a good role

Best shot of the day  210 yard par 3  Caley DI to 15’  still three putted. Only second time I got a GIR here.

Drive of the day  cleared the trees and left my self with a 15’ birdie that I just missed.

best hole of day. Great drive. Not so great approach. Chipped to 3’ for par.

Haven't played a round yet this year, but I had my first shift at a new course I will be working at this year.

Pheasant Run is a 27 hole course with a driving range close to where I recently moved, and I'll be working weekend mornings so that I can enjoy golf this summer without breaking the bank. 

I did the same thing the last 2 summers at another course, but that was a private 18 hole, and no range, so it was harder to get on to play, plus it's now further away since I've moved.

Pheasant is incredibly hilly, there's not a tee-box there that isn't at least 30-40ft above the fairway, plus a lot of articulation and elevation changes. It's right up my alley, I love a course with a lot of "character" to it. 

I had my first shift this passed Sunday, and took this picture from the back tee-box on one of the holes. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the guy with the backpack blower, his head is about 5ft below the bottom of my feet, and he's still about 8ft above the next tee-box down in front of him. 

The fairway is probably 40-50ft below the back tee, and that's just 1 example. I can't wait to play it this year.

Yesterday's round was full of ups and downs.  I pared six of the first seven holes on the back (up) and doubled two of the first four holes on the front (down).  It would have been doubling three of the first four holes if it wasn't for an uncharacteristic great bunker shot on our par five third hole.  I was lying three in front of the green hoping to up and down after doubling the previous hole.  The green is about 60 feet deep and slopes dramatically back to front and right to left with a sever "bounce" into water on the left.  It was a front left pin placement and I felt comfortable making the shot as I'm typically in this situation on this hole. 

I pulled my sand wedge and proceeded to blade it into the back trap!

Not noted as a great (or even decent) bunker player, I was facing my second double in a row.  To add to my concern, my playing partner who was in the exact same situation, hit first and his ball rolled past the pin and 40 yards back down the fairway.  I opened my sand wedge, aimed way left into the hill and gave it a go.  The ball popped up, landed softly and took a sharp right turn.  It took the dramatic slope, just missed the hole and rolled 14 feet past the pin.  I shocked even myself!  

Since I already made one miraculous shot, I might as well make it two by sinking a 14-foot dramatically uphill putt for a bogie saving a Stapleford point for the team.  I stepped up and sank the putt for the best bogie of the day!

managed to finish work really early today and got a good round in after at woodlands golf and country club in Bristol UK.  I had a great round by my standards.  Got 5 pars and shot 96 overall.  I recently changed to pink castle tees for my driver as i was hitting the ball too high on the face with the orange ones.  Have found that my drives are going straighter now!!

Here's the best ones for me today:

18th Hole:

First drive went completely straight but too far forwards and landed in the drink.  Took a drop by the water and managed to pummel the 3-wood 224 yards with the ball landing about 10ft from the hole.  First putt took it to about 10cm from the hole and the second putt got it in.  Par 5, so scored par!

:

You can barely even see the flag in the first picture there but the second is where the ball landed.

 

10th Hole:

Fired the drive 285 yards over a line of trees and landed dead center on the fairway, giving me a 72 yard 75% power pitching wedge onto the green and a 2 putt for par!

 

 

16th Hole:

237 yard straight drive off the tee, thinned it with a gap wedge over the green (naturally because a good shot can never be followed by a good shot, it's the law i think!), pitching wedge chip onto the green and 1 putt for par!!

 

 

Was definitely a better back 9 than the front nine.  Got rained on for the first 7 holes (really wish the Galway Bay gear had turned up in time for that )

 

Fairways are feeling better now after all the rain we have had this winter.  Looking forward to more games this summer!!
