@timd77 I too have a pre-shot routine, but it becomes second nature and I don't actually always concentrate what I am actually doing. I focus for the 80 odd times it takes me to get round if I can.

It is actually really simple and something I have subscribed to, but so easy to not do. Concentrate. Might sound daft, but I rush. Relax, look at the shot, stand over, do your pre shot routine and just check all the basics are right. Works for me and yes, I still rush the odd one and duff.

Have to play the Dukes. Favourite course I've ever played.

I'm different to the way many of the comments point in respect of game improvement irons. Certainly not saying I'm right, but I hated them - no control, distance all over the shop and damn ugly. I strike my irons well, so maybe that is part of it, but my score is more affected with poor course...

Personally, after reading your post, I would (quote) 'dedicate the time 'to get out, practice, play and possibly tag on some lessons with your current set and see where you get to. The i540's may then be more suited. Maybe not, but that's what I would do. In fact, I would buy a set now, a set...

Golf gains popularity each year, so those who have never been will accept it and they will sell out. Like saying, "Oh the price of a loaf' sadly.

I was never going to get to where I wanted without mastering an in to out path. I creep out now and again, but it is obvious. But, if you are in a training session, surely you can see what it is doing to your ball? If you then play and it falls apart, I'd say you've forgotten what you've learnt.

To be faor @Lucifer MorningStar I watch loads of YouTube golf and RS is playing well - terrible video I agree, but his golf was not the standard he has been playing recently.

Like many, we went cordless, as per wifeys request with a Shark. Doesn’t provide a good enough full clean, so bought a corded Dyson, but it’s heavy, so I have to carry it upstairs for her. Both must be decent, as she’s doing a decent job keeping the carpets clean :LOL:

Yes, they would. I would obviously state where I would like to go and let them fit the golf around that. But it's not about me and the OP, who stated 'a proper golf trip with a couple of big courses to be played', so I'd say the golf is a focus.

The first thing I would do is speak to one of the golf booking companies, who are all the rage these days. From my limited experience, they get better deals on course availability and pricing than doing it yourself and sure they have many couples trips behind them. I don't think I would even...

I tee off between 7 and 8 - kitchen opens at 9 (I think), so only get there early for a natter and a brew from the machine.

If it is in your mind, then you are doing right to change it. I play early (and I like to) but that means there's always others watching my first tee shot - it evens out after an hour or so. If that first tee shot is good, my round is better. If it is bad, it affects me - nerves! I have tried...

Redemption 🎉 I played an event today and it was one of the best rounds I've ever played. The new driver and fairways clicked and I was hitting greens in regulation backed up with a great putting display. No doubt my next round will be a disaster, but it reminded me how good it feels when you...

I don't like the hood, but it matches the bag, is waterproof and fits well, so not really a general problem, or a deficiency. I simply really like the alternative I have sourced. Sorry, not a sci-fi fan, but others may be giggling away to themselves.
