After 72 holes in 7 days, I'm having a week off!

I'm going to sneak 9 in after work tonight as the OH is out.
Then I'm hoping for an early finish and 18 tomorrow night, as Wednesday night is golf night.
And then we're playing Saturday morning.
ETA - I forgot about the pitch & putt on Thursday lunchtime

Don't blame you Rosscow!

Ha! Rob, that's a proper amount of golf in a week! Very Jealous!

Better than my 32 points yesterday, that's for sure! 3 blobs (all of which 3 off the tee with the driver).

Pleasantly surprised to find that I came 4th with that. Still went up 0.1 though!

Short game practice for a few hours this evening, then a club fitting at Wentworth on Thursday and then Club Champs this Saturday + Sunday

I've also just agreed to another 18 early Sunday and am probably booking Monday off for a club-fitting session and I'd be daft not to enjoy the rest of the day on the course

Had a little bit of progress at the weekend, got the 85 down to an 82 - still included a double and a triple however so could have been so much better. 3 proper birdies however, and chipped in for a 5 on a par 4 after being 3 off the tee, so there is some good golf in there, it's just dragging it out, whilst minimising the excursions into trees and other unpleasant parts of the golf course.

Hoping to get 9 holes in this evening with the OH (she doesn't play but likes the walk) and another later in the week. Can't play in our Captain's Day on Saturday sadly, got our next round of the Foursomes Knockout on Sunday however. then next weekend it's the big one - Club Championship.

If you can send her ahead to stand in the rough where your default bad shot is likely to go, she may save you a shot or two.

Or you may even 'off' her.

Two birds with one (bridge)stone.

Considering I've been overruled and we are currently in a Hungry Horse queueing for some microwaved food, I'll let you guess which of the two options currently sounds best....

Hungry Horse???? Oh Christ.

[adamwri]

Nothing sneaky planned this week but next week completely off work and will aim to be playing at least 18 each day between Sun-Fri. I bloody hope the weather stays like this!

My usual midweek partner is wetting out this week so I'm heading to the range tonight to work on my swing following my lesson last week. Really looking forward to trying to nail it, I just hope it doesn't descend into pure frustration before it starts to get better.

My first attempt at custom paint fills on an older wedge. Its fiddly business with acrylics and a brush that's not thin enough so off to hobbycraft for an even thinner brush at some point.

McIlroy looks like hes fked for the Open then.

Don't bother with brushes, get some wooden toothpicks
