Alf. S Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 That's me played my final qualify competition of the season. Autumn is upon us, the clock go back next weekend and I reckon my home club will go onto the shorter winter course in a couple of weeks, sigh. For me it has come at the wrong time, I've found a swing that is working and my handicap has dropped by 1.5 in the last 3 weeks. But C'est la vie. I like to reflect back at this time to see how my season has gone. Handicap started 8.3 finished 7.1 Won one medal and came 2nd in another 2. Played Turnberry Alisa course for the 1st time. Competed in Golf in Scotland for the 2nd year and fell 10 points short of qualification for the finals in Turkey Had some great golf in Tenerife, Benidorm and Lanzarote After an injury season last year this year has been a big step forward. Roll on 2019.

robertson153 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I feel like my last official round was this past Saturday. There may be some quick 5-6 holes after work on a warm fall day, but not likely. Range stays open all year, so there’s a plus.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyDormant bermuda turns to hardpan in front of the green, which makes chipping an adventure. My scores definitely go up in the winter. Also, and I don’t know if they will be doing it again this year, but they usually overseed the green with rye in the winter, making putting a different adventure.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Ha! I don't think I've seen 10 yards of roll on any shot this year. It has been so wet and the course I play doesn't have the best drainage system and is fairly low lying. It is only a 6300 yard course but plays like 6700 based on lack of roll and a ton of doglegs that require layups.
