Well got an 8.40 tee off tomorrow in one of the clubs Majors so hoping i can hit the 36pt limit and avoid playing off 16 this weekend.
Good luck to the rest of the Dk hackers.

I'm off to Scotland in the morning for a week of sun and golf (Ayr) played there before Troon lock green and sea view and belleisle, happy days, would be interesting to know where other members play and courses they would recommend. I play a course in Northumberland call Ryton Clara vale.

ahh Lochgreen at Troon- one of my all time favourite courses. It's incredible it's a municiple course as the standard of the greens is world class.

Just got back from golf played ok apart from being in almost every bunker on the front 9.
Finished with 34 pts had a bird on the back but unless the standard scratch is high it looks like ive a new handicap tomorrow

I asked this a while back in the thread.

Come on mods move it please to the Sports Section will be easier for us hackers to follow our game.

Looks a cracking course Skegs take plenty of balls with you

On a better note i was in the buffer zone on Saturday so still on 15 by the skin of my teeth.

Well done Andy, always nice when your handicap doesn't go out, hard to get it back down when it does!

Although there's loads of water at Concra Wood, it is fairly easy to avoid if you use your head, if you want to attack greens it usually means over the water then your in trouble !

Have a good round mate.

Off to my mates club tommorrow and already under pressure ive got to get at least 31pts to get a fiver off him.
Didnt play today because of the heavy rain and his course is very long so should be interesting.

Tiger 6/1 for the us masters after his win last night, no value in that the Memorial was a weak field !

[andy91]

Well 3 rounds in 4 days only Sunday was a wash out and i cant rely on my short game forever.
Scored 37 pts to 31 yesterday and gradually got worse.
In the market for a new driver,fancy the Ping G20 got to change something about my driving even if it gives me a bit more confidence.

Andy,

How long does it take to play a round over in the UK. Here on Long Island it takes 4 1/2 to 5 hs if you tee off between 5.24am to 8am and 5 to 6 hours after that.

That would depend on how good a player you are, what time you tee off at and how many players in the group. I have personally played a two ball round in under three hours but would say 4-5 hours is common for a four ball.
