    coming back to the game, harder than i thought!

    Very hit and miss. Started off well, six points after two holes but then became inconsistent. Couldnt hit a wedge shot right all day and kept limping in with a point or blobbing. It was tough out there buy I still blame myself. What was I expecting after not playing or practicing for three...

    Havent updated for a while, not played much due to weather and family commitments etc. Came second the last time I played though, lost on countback! Off to our annual weekender to East Sussex national in the morning, looking forward to it as it has two excellent courses there. Hoping the...

    Just back from the society day, the course was in excellent condition as expected, its a lynx course though so the wind battered us from every angle! Nine of us braved the conditions, and im very happy to report that I came first with 36 pts! The driver did me proud. I played I a 3bbb with two...

    Had another lesson tonight, all driver! I wanted to know where I am going wrong. I used to be pretty decent off the tee, straight most of the time, and a solid 240, but my iron play was woeful. Now it seems its the other way around! I hit some cracking iron shots in my last round, all shots into...

    Not that im an expert mate, but it sounds like you could benefit from some lessons, it could be somethin simple like grip that needs adjusting

    thanks everyone, its great knowing i can actually score a half decent amount of points, its been so long haha! That is Birchwoods only downside mate, they cram it with people, and sadly quite a high percentage of those have little to no knowledge of the rules, nor how to treat and look after...

    Played my first round in four weeks today thanks to the weather, most courses closed or just too flooded to get a decent game in. Ive been going to the range once or twice a week, but was itching to get out there to see if I have improved, and I have! Played Birchwood golf course today, one of...

    Cheers mate, lesson was great. The pro set me up on the flight scope, basically ive been over doing it on the back swing, over twisting to the point where i lose my posture. He had me taking what i felt was a three quarter back swing, but it felt so much more relaxed, and i saw instant results...

    Well, today wasn't a total failure! Was rock solid frozen at Red libbets today, particularly the bunkers, of which I found most of them. Impossible to take any sand with the ball! Omce again, more complete failure with my woods, going left all the time, and my long irons actually feeling...

    Cheers Dave, to be honest im enjoying seeing the lads again, and the company, just not the game itself! Just got to knuckle down and crack on with it for now. i know i can improve given the time. First lesson is booked for Monday evening, Red Libbets on Sunday though. As long as I score more...
