Made a couple of these threads now once in 2018 then I needed a shoulder op and again in 2019 before needing another operation on my nose this time and then 2020 arrived and my local golf club shut and didn’t really open up for visitors till late 2020 I didn’t bother. Come 2021 my local opened...

Hi been a lurker and infrequent poster since 2019. Been wanting to take up Golf again but due to a injury in 2018, surgery end of 2019 and last years Covid lockdowns I only managed to get to the range a few times. I used to play regularly as a Junior, my teen and early twenties till I moved...

Well after 10 months of dealing with my first Covid patient I finally got it on the 25th. I do my lateral flow test every Monday and Friday and my LF came back positive Christmas Day morning, went to the staff testing pod for a pcr test on Boxing Day and go the telephone call to say it’s...

My local is members only currently. The next nearest is 3.5 miles away and unfortunately I don’t drive.I did intend to pay as I play this year before committing to joining my local, but due to COVID 19 that won’t be happening so range only for me ☹️

Started hitting my 3 wood a lot better now also. So I may use a mixture of the 3 wood and Hybrid off the tee for now to get going. Think the priority is to get out on the course in Spring and see how I get on.

Much better today with the driver. However I used a 19 degree Hybrid and absolutely smashed every shot off the Tee and deck perfectly. So for now I’m gonna purchase my own 19 degree Hybrid. I seem to be able to hit it perfectly.

I think I might try something with a 12 degree Loft as opposed to 10.5 Had another go today and checked my stance, positioning of the Tee and that was all wrong so that wasnt helping. I was trying to position myself like I do for a 9 iron, club to close, club positioned in the middle of my...

Yeah gonna have another bash tomorrow. Didn’t really help today as I was rushing also. Need to take my time and work on the clubs I’m struggling with. gonna take my Driver, 3 wood Hybrid and Pw for warming up. just really weird that after 11 years out, my terrible short game is now what...

Yeah I think I do need one or two with the driver. Never used to be this awful with one.

Got two a Ping G30 and a Wilson Reflex which came with the Irons as part of a Package. Neither I can hit well to be honest. I think I’m trying to swing the club too fast so it skims the top of the ball or I hit the floor then the ball.

Cheers, shoulder all fixed after a Rotator cuff repair and physio so back to it. Aiming to go to the range tomorrow or Friday and then try for once a week till spring then get out on the course. Solo for a few rounds and then try playing with my mate back in Bolton and some locals in Rishton...

Tried to start playing again last year after 11 years of not playing but due to a shoulder injury I had to stop again till after Surgery. Went to the range today and I’m hitting all my Irons consistently straight and reasonably far, hitting my Hybrid(5 Hybrid) well off the deck and tried it...

I was looking forward to Christmas. As I worked it all last year (NHS) and it will be our 2nd Christmas in our new house. This year I’m off from the 24th to the 30th December. However I’ve got to have a Septoplasty op on my nose on the 19th.

About 15. My local is a 0.3 mile walk, the driving range 0.2 mile. Cheapest is my local 12 quid a round.

Been advised by physio just to stick with the range for now or 9 holes as pain allows. Have 8 weeks of physio, doing two sessions a week. Hoping to start playing cricket again also. Hopefully by spring I should be good to go.
