Good effort mate. Away with work for a few days, been out this afternoon and squeezed 9 holes in.....proper went for it this time and kept score, carded 45 (36 par) which I'm more than happy with given that I sliced nearly every tee shot away off to the right leaving mysefl a longer 2nd shot. It's bogey golf which given ive only had a few practice rounds I'm pretty happy with. Might have to get a few lessons in to try and work on a few things which wil hopefully bring the shot count down. Think that'll be it until the weekend for me save for some more practice whilst I'm here, got 3 full days so not likely to get back to the hotel till 4:30 for the next 2 days.
Can’t you do what the rest of us do on business trips snd pick up some slag in a bar.

Well played mate, keep playing, keep enjoying it and maybe take a few lessons. The score will keep coming down. I played two rounds yesterday, 76 and 79, and one round today, 77. Delighted at my progress, another lesson on Friday.

****ing hell mate...where do you find the time? Are you on holiday or off sick or summit?

I’m hoping to squeeze 9 holes again after my course today before the light disappears. Cheeky ****ers charged me full price for half a round the other day that’s the price regardles of whether huh play 9 or 18....it’s a 9 hole course for ****s sake! I’m just gonna jump on and get me “other” 9 holes in and say now....robbin ****s, at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a ****ing mask!!

Greedy bazzards, make sure you get your proper moneys worth, it's dear enough to start with. I am off every Monday so just nip along and swing away to my hearts content. Plus I do no housework <laugh>
 
Someone really needs to provide a ****ing “Don’t Like” button on the board like!

That being said I headed out just before 5 o clock to stick me two fingers up to the robbing ****s here! Didn’t bother keeping score as I knew I wouldn’t get the full 9 in so just had some practice which went quite well. Hit a blistering ****ing driver off the tea cutting a dog leg out and managing to thread the ball through a 10ft gap between two tall trees...pure ****ing luck of course but it looked ****ing mint, lost the ball in the water tho which I’m not too arsed about cos the water was about 300 yards from the tea which I thought I’d be quite safe from but was one of the best connections I’ve made with me big stick (ooooo-er) for a while. ‘Ave it!

Gonna go for a full round at the weekend so will keep ya posted!

Think I’d be asking myself why I was playing South Shields instead of ****ing Valspar! <laugh>

Decent round that tho! Dont think I’ve played that course, played Whitburn where I kinda got an unofficial hole in 1 :1980_boogie_down:
Last time out (ages ago) I just about managed to get one in a hole never mind a hole in one...

:(

Played full round today, first one for about 2 years. Awful awful round :emoticon-0121-angry Carded 102 in the end, short game and putting was ****ing shocking today, leaving everything short and thinning my irons a lot. Tee shots were probably the best they’ve been for a while, playing off the winter tees tho which I hate. Will get out a couple of mornings or afternoons this week for some practice and hopefully a better round at some point next week.

It's bloody hard work mate going around a golf course. Just keep plugging away, your score will come down.
 
Ha ha, I'm out today. After my lesson that is <laugh>

I've finally figured out how you manage to shoe horn so much golf into one day, your Porsche golf cart....

Most of us use it as an excuse for exercise but you sir are just plain lazy <laugh>

Glorious day today like, i'd be tempted to get back out there later this afternoon if my shoulders weren't so bloody stiff off yesterday. Will be used to it after a few more rounds I reckon. Might still go and have some practice like, might loosen me up ;-)
