Ah well another medal round bites the dust. Shot 75-4=71 for a comfortable buffer today then got back in to the bar just as Paul Cairney equalised.
Life ain't so bad after all.

Ah well that's yet another competitive golf season come to an end so I can now concentrate on being a professional Hibs supporter until the start of next season.
I've had a real up and down year, distinctly average but the poor rounds were occasionally punctuated by a really good round which only serve to bluff you into thinking that you've eventually cracked this infuriating game.
I played 28 medal rounds - started the season with a handicap of 3.3 and finished it at 3.2 so I've suffered all that friggin heartache and exasperation for a measly reduction of 0.1.
Bah, I really hate this game but can't wait to get started again next March.

I've played one round of golf this year - The Carrick outing we had back in March.
I've been insanely busy this year, so it's been a necessary evil TBH.
However, I would now like a round somewhere, ANYWHERE if possible.
I'm back staying with my folks in the run up to getting married in a few weeks, so if anyone in the Edinburgh/West Lothian area fancies laughing at me hacking my way around their track, I'd welcome any offersMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Cheers for the offer Dave.
Have a kilt fitting ahead of my wedding tomorrow, so I'm busy most of the morning and then have to nip into Edinburgh with the other half to pick a few things up in the afternoon!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Season ends for me on Saturday.
Started with a handicap of 3.4, finished with 4.6. Horrible season, went up by 0.1 in every medal I played, didn't hit a buffer zone and certainly never even looked at winning anything.
Driving was horrible and that's what was costing me big time. Was generally having to use my 2nd shot just to get into play and suddenly that's a shot thrown away. The most annoying part is my long to mid iron and pitching and chipping was good. Putting was on the poor side of average. Going to spend the winter with a couple of lessons and then get to the range and play a few rounds in the winter eclectic to try and get everything sorted out.
This time last year I genuinely thought I was heading for a handicap in the region of scratch within a couple of years, now I'm back up at 5!

Very quiet season for me, frustrated early on in the year when I wasn't able to re-new my membership as I was meant to be moving away but after finding out I was staying in Edinburgh and on the back of the wet season which has ruined Kingsknowe I'm glad I never had a membership this year.
Played a few times over the summer but not enough to see any signs of improvement.
One positive is discovering a new course, played Kingsfield out near Linlithgow a few times now, cracking wee 9 hole course.
If any club regulars are looking for a game over the winter and needing a partner give me a shout.

AAAAHHHH! That's better
I just cannot get into single figures
Parred 9 of the first 10 holes - a double on the other hole - and was safely thinking this was it - single figure handicapper!! But leaked 7 shots in 8 holes and hello buffer again! I could cry!! Think I'll take up ping-pong.

I do exactly the same - start thinking about the finishing line and potential success - and disaster is just around the corner.
I think what happens is that we start protecting our card and as a result, the swing changes, strokes become a bit less positive, and we pay the price.
My best rounds have come when I've not been paying attention to my running total.
That's hard to do at our level, but it's vital imo.
Anyway, bring on the winter golf!

Bodes well for turnhouse next year if a lot of the team are still juniors!

Your location suggests you play at Monifieth ?
Only played there once but thoroughly enjoyed it.
