I think I'm getting the message ;)

Yes, pretty sure it was golf - on course and/on rangr.. Must have started doing something wrong in the swing (and I was hitting them so well!) - Inflamed tendon now. probably a form of RSi

thanks Homer - three weeks I can stick - worried it may be longer. And I have just paid my subs ! :(- c'est la vie

So there I am just coming back from a bit of an all-time low and now i have bust my wrist. Not painful most of the time onlyon certain turns of the wrist. Three weeks now and honestly not a lot better. Any time I try more than a half swingI feel it so really onlyputting for me right now and...

Hi again - thanks for the stympathy and tips. What I did during last week was to have two short sessions at the range ( 2 different ranges!) on my own, starting with a 1/2 swing and only using irons. On both occasions hit the ball pretty well so felt there was no huge problem going on in my...

Hi Andy = sorry about the weather!I think it began with driver/fway woods then spread to everything else (chipping and putting not completely lost cause) Hit some good rescue woods before the complete meltdown set in. Couldn't quite see one problem - tendency to sky the ball off the tee but hit...

Thanks PJ - I think alone time is definitely needed, maybe a new venue eg par 3 course at local golfcentre, take my time, start with irons and see how it goes.If I'm stilll psyched out (pretty much a mental thing now I think) I'll have a chat with my regular pro - and withdraw from club friendly...

Hi guys - It's been a while, For the last 2 years I have got from 23 to 20 and hoping for 18 this year. I am known for my steady golf. I go to regular roll-up lessons at the local range and sometimes splash out on a private lesson or two. My swing has been in what I consider to be decent shape...

Nice work! Fabulous sunny day here . Played the final of our winter foursomes knockout comp and won on 14th. Cue 'We are the champions' :D TBH played some scrappy holes and my partner did the business on the par 3s, but still a happy bunny. Playing in first medal of the season on Monday. On...

Completely addicted. Not much about golf, though! AliBacon AliB

Cheers forummers and thanks for the advice. Yup, even Wed is £35. Thinking we may go for the Thursday, to see at least some of main event without too many crowds. AliB

Hi All Have been to a few golf championships but not the Open. Also don't know Kent at all well so thought we might kill 2 birds and make a trip of it - few days B&B + Open on the first day. Now thinking this might be the worst idea ever - place heaving - esp being close to London - and...

Turned up for my knock-out comp to gently falling snow which got less gentle by the minute. Had hit a few sneaky balls on range to warm up and won first but then got nervy when partner sank some good putts. Halved 2 and 3 where I had shots - ouch! Lost 4 to her up and down. - big ouch! finally...

Had a real stinker on December 31st - scraped 30 points but very few decent shots. Went out today for some practice because am lined up for 2nd round winter knock-out match tomorrow. Made 17 out and 21 back - yay! - this is actually the best I have scored off my current handicap. Bring it on! AliB

Course opened yesterday - no snow around here any more. Played 9 today on 'Cromwell' course. No run on ball but greens not bad considering. 4 temp greens on Crown course, reckon fairways there should be okay. Looking forward to playing regularly again. AliB
