    Sorry for the late post but Electric Picnic will do that to you! 😂 It was a busy week for me knocked out one of the best players in my club Wednesday to reach the clubs semi-final matchplay which was a match I didnt expect to win to be honest but was buzzin after and how I played probably some of my best golf of the year! easy when I dont have a card in my hand! but I got great confidence from it and how I kept my brain quiet. Then onto Macreddin Sat with the mad boardies crew.. Unfortunately Macreddin been my last event of the season apart from The Jug 😎 as I miss the Captains, as I'm on Holidays. First one I have ever missed too and its a double header! 😢 So I knew I needed a good result to cement my position on the Jug so that was my main focus.. So with confidence high and the good company of Post Punk and bakerbhoy, 2 veterans of the society at this stage and Truedub who I never met before but an absolutely gentleman. It had all the hallmarks of a great day.

    We all played great golf at different stages. I got off to a flyer turning with 22 points which I was shocked by as I didnt get much sleep the night before a toddler to blame for that! As weapon of mass destruction will adhere too. I conked it in the car on way over even though it felt like we were driving off road at times! I am most proud of my course management as every hole was daunting. I took in the distance and index into account and picked lines in the distance I couldn't reach and bombed it.. Unfortunately at the turn tiredness caught up with me and I started bad. Just 2 points after 4.. But had a rally call with Bakerbhoy and how we would find are first balls having pushed them right into the trees on that very narrow hole! with an air of positively we rightly did! To be honest it was the bit of luck that I needed. So a bit of a wrestle with a bramble bush that won that fight 😂 I hacked it out and finished strong. To be honest I taught I had throw it away. So was delighted with the win and only my second ever boards victory! I loved the course but it is very mentally draining.. 18 holes and I think you only see the flags on 4 of them lol… Plus you would never walk it but as said before its a Celtic tiger course. I taught the greens really let it down too. but still had a great day I think everyone been tired and hungry didnt help it..but I would play it again. Just bring a packed lunch 😁

    To top the week off I finished second in the medal on Sunday. 😎 Only disappointing thing is this form of good golf isn't effecting my handicap much! Got 0.2 back after Saturday 🤬 but thankfully lost it again Sunday.. Thank Fcuk.

    And then I ended the week in the Picnic to celebrate. Dancing the night away with Kylie.. Rock n Roll 🍻 😂

    Hope everyone enjoys the Captains! and see you all at the Jug. Those that make it that is 😉😁

    Finally getting to sit down and try put some of my feelings into words from the round last Saturday. Macreddin is a course I've heard a lot about and is one I've wanted to visit for a good few years. Knew it was going to be tough, I expected it to be tough regardless of the weather and it lived up to its expectations. Imagine playing it in a gale? Maybe when / if I get my game back in some sort of shape I'll go back and give it another crack. Keeping the ball in play is paramount to getting a score here and well done to @benny79 for doing this and getting a great win. Commiserations to everyone else but any score above 30 here was great going!

    My inconsistent golf is killing me at the moment, as the lads mentioned, I'm back struggling to get the ball off the tee again. No matter what club i use. Tried an iron but hooked them left, topping / skulling or whatever you want to call them with my driver, its absolutely killing my round. After a recent lesson i thought I had turned a corner, starting shooting 10 - 15 shots a round less and then "Boom" the bad shots came back. They go through the bag, driver to SW!! I can have a few good rounds and then 2 or 3 bad in a row, and not just bad shots, bad rounds. Winter this year will be make or break for me, I either fix it or I give up!! I got an offer for next seasons football last Saturday morning and its too good to pass up so golf may become a once a month hobby again for the new few years - last time i only played once a month, I actually played well!!

    Must say the company Saturday was absolutely fantastic as per usual on Saturday, played the round with old friend @doublecross, my second round with @boccy23 but first round with @Sorbet. Apologies again for my golf but the crack was deadly!!! We really made the most of our up and down day and trying to find our way around the course which all 4 of us were playing for the first time. Apologies for nearly decapitating poor @boccy23 going down to the 17th green, I was having wayyyyyy too much fun rallying the buggy around the dusty tracks of Macreddin, probably the highlight of my day - the driving, not trying to kill you!!!

    Anyway, we will move on to the final events of what seems the shortest society year ever and am looking forward to heading to the sunny south east for a few days. Golf will be played, pints will be had and golf tales exchanged in what has now become the grand (semi) finale of the society year. I'll be practicing long and hard to try go one better than last time i was in West Waterford and if that fails, I do love a pint of Guinness!!!

    Chat ye soon.
