Not played much other than a couple of scrambles, they always start out as this is great fun but by about 14 you know you probably need to birdie all the rest and it gets frustrating as someone's in with net 54

Played a greensome today, easily my least favourite format. Drove the ball well which was good as I had the ignomy of needing one from the last two off our last scramble. So it felt like a drive chip and put round for a lot of it. hardly hit an approach shot which was unfortunate as my partner can hit a long drive but it wasn't working today. Was going ok till 15 I caught a bunker so had a 6 iron over trees, came out really hot and was happy to see it hit the tip of a tall pine, thought that's ok as that may well be too big, think it was 180 to back but it shot out of there. Wandered up couldn't find the ball, it must have ricocheted into oblivion so had to send my partner back up the fairway and he didn't get it to the trees - 8 game over
Got another scramble on Thursday but hope to get a few more games on my own ball, just played one early bounce game this week and got an 81. Think these scrambles are fun but beginning to think sometimes you try to push it and think your Seve when in reality your a diddy and you somehow manage to do that shot about one in 20.
Anyway looks like the weather is closing in and we will soon be into winter golf. Never been one to play in all the depths of winter but have got a couple of weeks in the Canaries to look forward to, expect to play most days. We found a local gym that has a trackman room and enjoyed that last year. One of my mates was so taken he was pricing up how much it would cost to build his own one but when we ask him to come out and play on an actual golf course he wasn't really interested.... as Jim says people are strange.
