    I need to improve or give up (spoiler alert i don't want to give up!)

    An update! I haven't had a lesson yet but i did take a can of foot spray to the range and i at least now know that most of my shots are "low and toey". I have read a few causes of this and so will give me something to work on next time on the range.

    My complete setup didn't cost anywhere near that and i certainly would get that one past the "financial controller"!

    Yes, i think you're right. I do think i have got slightly worse after watching too much Youtube! I'll stop that immediately and get some professional help!

    Thanks for all of the advice guys. I have emailed the pro at my local club (Ferndown Forest Golf Club) where i visit the range to see what lesson packages they have on offer.

    I need to improve or give up (spoiler alert i don't want to give up!)

    I have been trying to get into golf off and on for several years. For many years it was just getting out for 9 holes after work with colleagues a few times a year and so i didn't really expect to improve.

    Thanks ScienceBoy, that sounds like a great plan. Being on the green in three would have been a massive improvement for me on Thursday.

    Thanks Louise. I was really expecting to have improved over the winter but it was awful on Thursday evening. I'll just relax and hopefully it was just a bad day at the office.

    I don't think the pro I saw is purely S&T he has other accreditations on his site. His website is here: http://www.stephenpackergolf.com/
