Been feeling recently like the scores haven't really been reflecting my game, as in generally hitting the ball 'ok' but not really hooking up a decent score.
Don't think I've posted these but played The Kendleshire on Wednesday and actually went on a tear for the front 9, +4 gross with a double-bogey on the first (and no birdies, just a par fest) but fell apart on the back 9 for +20 overall, but good signs of being able to score when I get things clicking nicely. After that I thought it'd be a good idea to do the roll-up at my local, only 9 holes but taking it to 27 for the day! Shot 48, about where I've been (46-49 ish) there for the past month or longer but meh.
Then decided to pickup a new putter, got an email from Clubhouse Golf for the Wilson Infinite Buckingham that I've been thinking of for a bit now (going from a Wilson Infinite blade) and it was £109 including a dozen Wilson Duo Soft 'TRK360' balls so how could I refuse?
Yesterday I went to my local but they've decided to drop the usual Friday Roll-up when there's a comp which was an 18-hole stableford and I/we only planned to play 9 so instead we did a 2v2 scramble match for the lols, did well though, made some decent putts and in general the new putter felt good.
And that leads to today, plauing in the 18-hole stableford comp and well, it clicked!
First hole I chipped in for birdie, instantly started thinking the "No good round starts with a birdie" rule
But just continued playing decently, and putting very well.
Shot 37 on the front 9 with 3 birdies (including a 2 for that pot
), previously my best over 9 at my local was 40, and followed that up with a 39 on the back 9, no birdies though
76 gross, +6 and 46 points! 46! I got called names, and rightfully so
28 putts total on my garmin but I could putts from off the green of which there were at least 3.
Handicap looks like it'll go down 3.6, it was an 8.4 score differential so >10 below my handicap for the 'exceptional scoring'.
