My Best Ever Golf

slumped

OK folks - I need to brag about my best ever week playing golf - I have never played as much in a week before and never played so well!!


Monday - Hollywood Lakes - 38 points

Playing in super weather but very windy, I shot 38 points here. Not a bad start! A nice course with huge potential. Great water placements and a new clubhouse being built soon. Well worth a visit.

Tuesday - K Club (Smurfit) - 33 points

Was supposed to play Palmer course but couldn't get it. Smurfit course is a big let down. Forget the pole forking work, it was in poor condition. Grass growing in bunkers - now that's bad. Won the money so all good.

Thursday - Ardee - 41 points

Know this course very well and enjoyed it. Was an open singles so lost 1.2 off the handicap for this score. Second prize was nice also!


Friday - Castleknock - 44 points

When I thought I would be cream crackered at this stage, I held no hopes of a good round here. After 13 holes I was 3 over par (I play off 19) - amazing shooting and finished well too - won the money.

Blisters on feet aside - a mighty week.

Bragging over!

Great shooting Slumped - let's just hope you haven't peaked too early in the season!

What was Castleknock like - I hear it's a great track?

Castleknock was amazing. Wide fairways and not too penal if you stray off them.

Some long holes though and some tricky water positions. Sequence of holes from 7-12 go Par 5, Par 3, Par 5, Par 3, Par 5, Par 3

Worth the 90 euro green fee any day.

i'd say castleknock is nice now alright, i played it mid january and it was holding up well, great drainage, thats some very impressive golf slumped, and a good sign coming into the summer, well done.

stringy

39 points in Galway on Thursday, Galway Crystal wine glasses
gross +6 on Friday in Foursomes, 50 euro in a sweep
nett -1 on Saturday in Monthly Medal, won nothing!
94 points on Monday 4 man team, beaten on last 6. Golf polo shirt.

h/cap 10, not a bad Easter's golfing!

A good week my man - well played.

Just glancing through Zach Johnson's card, he'd have done you in a Stableford at the K Club, but you'd have kicked his ass the rest of the week.

Was God involved at all with you ? Zach certainly gave him a mention, in that he was on Zach's bag all the way round (but none of the other poor suckers, presumably).

I was just wondering - I might try it this weekend. God knows, I've tried everything else...;)

Well it was Holy Week, does that count......and my best score was on Good Friday the day our Lord died..........hmm, and who was that tallish guy witha beard and a halo standing at the back of every green?????

Thats only 2 worse than your handicap according to the other thread. +8 2/3 of the way through the round.

Must be one hell of a bad putter! 41 putts, am I right??

Hollywood lakes is about 7-8 grand for a full member I think, not too sure.

Mister Sifter

christ, the price of joining a club in this country is a joke.:mad:

cson

Its about €600 (membership + entrance fee) at my club - Portumna. Think its €300 per year after that.

There's an open fourball in Ardee on Sunday - singles are generally Thursday.

Worth a trip up though.
