Loads when you really think about it. The anticipation that today could be the best round you’ve played. The post round beers, the winter solstice knowing everyday gets longer and you can start “thinking” about playing after work, the masters but probably my favourite things are the trips abroad.

Veeery windy first 9 holes today but played my best competition golf this year. 40 points, 82 gross with a snowman in there. Lovely to get out there and despite the wind it really wasn’t cold.

Yep… wet one here as well. Was acceptable at 7:40 when I left but it pretty much chucked down the second we’d all tee’d off the 1st. Weather was fine by the 8th though and it looks great out there now. Drove well, irons good but chipping and putting was tough today… combination of the...

Its not going to be a nightclub again is it? Was chatting to a lad who works there today on our round and the huge building thats gone over the top of the old Bel Air site is going to be about 150 rooms and conference centre. They’re still building a big leisure centre and gym round by the pro...

Love our practice facilities but yeah, just not feasible at that time in the morning. I might look at it in future as I’ll likely be teeing off abit later but at the same time… will I just see it as I don’t need to get up as early 😉

I like to have a swing in the net and a putt/chip but time doesn’t always allow it. Today was find a parking spot… grab the stuff out the back and run to the 1st hoping the lads had sorted out the cards etc. Not the best drive to start but it was in play and its a par 5 so I’ll take it.

AM/AM today and the weather was great considering. I weren’t down to a polo but some were. Played well over all with no real blow ups which I am taking as progress. High and lowlight of the round was a great drive on a par 5 with a 5 iron to 10ft. It was downhill and I got a little excited...

Decided to sneak out for a few holes today after nearly 3 weeks straight of work on the swing in a simulator. Its ladies day and it was obvious early doors the practice ground was going to be the only way I could swing a club more than once in a 10 minute period. I’m not knocking them having a...

What a mad round… feel conflicted but I guess need to be happy in the end. Couple of pars to start and literally an inch from being 3 in a row. Then FIVE doubles in a row… all just annoying/silly stuff I know I need to irradiate from my game… finally started listening to the voice in my head...

I'm definitely in the winter is easier camp (unless you're playing in extreme weather). I can understand why for some players the loss of distance causes issues but for me I am able to play carry distance only, get away with wayward shots not going far into the rough etc. I'd take 20+ degree's...

On the red last night and could have done with the time in bed but my mate really wanted to play… 7:30am and no sign of him. Annoying. Positives are more people met at the club and I have been invited into another whatsapp group (we don’t have tee times so it really helps) Score wise: 33...

This is what I immediately thought, might be that you just get away with it abit more in the summer mate. I'm obviously no expert but would imagine it comes down to contact and if you can work on a drill that improves strike you might get better results? I've paid abit more attention to the Dan...

Early round today, rocked up hungover ready for abit of fresh air only to hear the other lads were putting a card in so I thought I’d get in on the action. Drove it high and right (really struggling at the moment with the driver) and when I got to the ball I realised I am q 4,5 and 7 iron...

Few days away with the family so first bit of practice since Friday. Started with 30 minutes on the practice range whilst the lad had his lesson and after a little warm up I was really pleased with the strike. I went purely with feel (normally have the swing app recording so I can get instant...

Beat me to it mate… I’ve just gone down a youtube rabbit hole looking at them. Be interested to know how you found it @chrisd. Definitely a pricey bit of kit for what it is.
