Many Happy Returns Tony!

You must have had a right chuckle when I was telling you that it was my niece's birthday today.

I will probably/possibly remember from now on..

I think I can fix your putting problem Kev as its something I have had to deal with.

Just make sure you weight is slightly favouring your leading foot(right for you as a leftie) when addressing the putt that should cure it.

Well done Eck on single figures!

I played the Saturday monthly medal today which I was looking forward to as the forecast was pretty good - chance of a light shower around 1pm/2pm - however the golfing/weather gods had other ideas as it absolutely chucked it down again from the 6th hole onwards with intermittent threatening claps of thunder thrown in for dramatic effect. I threw in the towel after nine but my two hardier/dafter playing companions decided to continue, for a few more holes anyway, when the next thundery squall arrived.

Just the 40mph winds on the menu for Monday but I don't mind that as long as its dry.

 

That 2 did stand out somewhat.

I played in the club Thursday Stableford today and managed what felt like an heroic 33pts in mostly dire conditions.

Not only was it the rather too frequent squally showers but my shoes were leaking too, and I squelched round the back nine for a measley 14pts.

Medal on Saturday followed by a visit from the lads on Monday.

I played the club Stableford today and returned a respectable-ish 33 points which is actually my best this year.

Shot 45/40/85 on what turned out to be a beautiful day and in very pleasant company - missed a 4-footer on the last too after a lovely pitch.

Green shoots..

Very nice Ralph, great shooting.

I shot 97 yesterday after a terrible last 3 rounds of over 100. One minute you're close to breaking 90 with rounds of 91 and 92 and golf say just hang on a minute me owd tater. Loving it though.

Thanks Kev. How are you getting in with those new wedges?

In my previous experience it took me quite a while to figure out which one to use for all the different shots.

My game was called off too.

Stableford on Saturday though and the forecast looks good.

He hits about three inches behind the ball - not making any contact - and blames you for putting him off.

PS He is definitely shrinking..

I'm down for the senior medal tomorrow and the forecast is not looking that great either.

I tend to look at 3/4 different weather apps to see if I can find one that I like..

Don't talk to me about golf 

We need to know what happened.

My 3-ball retired after nine holes yesterday due to severely inclement weather.

Very nice Kev, you've got the bug bad don't you! 

You had a chance to try them out yet, what difference in distance you getting between the 3?

Curious as I got myself a 50 as I only used the standard PW & SW and wanted something that dropped in between but the 50 isn't going just as far as easy as i would have hoped. Been thinking of getting a 46/48 but not sure if its worth it.

I think my regular PW is 46.

Are those Vokeys Kev?

Dowman genuinely looks exciting.

But, before you get carried away:-

Last season, the young Lewis-Skelly looked to be the real deal. Now-out of the team, and looks fragile
Season before, Nwaneri looked the real deal. Out of the Team, rumoured to be looking to leave

Is that the same Nwaneri who just signed a new 5-year contract?

Looking forward to seeing Eze play soon 

That looks gorgeous Jim. I'm sure Scotland is a different colour to these parts.
