    Poor range session after a lesson

    Posted in the lesson thread about how I had a great one yesterday for general set up and turning through the shot. Focussed a bit more on the driver and got a few swing thoughts to turn a nasty hook into a nice draw. Went to the range tonight, got a medium bucket and the ones I hit well I hit...

    I had a lesson today and...

    Had my first lesson in 2 years today. Never had a lesson on my driver and wanted to go over that, basically never use or practice with that club as I don’t know where to start Lesson began with a 7i to see how I swung generally. It then became a 20 min refresher on my irons - wider stance...

    The mental block of being paired up with randoms

    Any advice on this? Ive moved country and I don't know anyone around here - i've joined my local club and have played a few rounds on my own, but to play on a saturday you need to be paired up with odd numbered 3 balls. Feel a bit nervous about this, im still not that great and really dont have...

    Help a high handicapper choose woods…

    I’m a high handicapper, rarely break 100 who in the last 5 years has played intermittently. Had some lessons along the way and have made some progress, but this season I really want to make a go of it and get the proper practice in. This is the first time I’ve had access to a car too so that is...

    World Handicap System (WHS)

    Totally bizarre. My handicap was 37 (only joined and played 3 rounds this summer) and now on the WHS its 30.4

    Hybrid clubs ?

    I picked up a 4 hybrid a couple of months ago. Annoyingly, i can hit it great at the range, feels great and goes nice and straight. Haven't ever been able to replicate it on the course - no idea why

    Injuries

    I’ve got a sudden bout of knee tendinitis following some hard running over the last few months. First hurt it around 2 weeks ago and took a total break from all hard activity. Seemed to help and midweek I had a great lesson and range session, felt like a huge improvement in my swing. Knee...

    What is the most you would spend on membership per year?

    Over here in Northern ireland my membership is around 450 for my age range (u30). Great value to be honest and cant complain. Course is kept in great condition and clubhouse etc is good too. Only gripes is the lack of a pro shop (the pro has recently left) and a practice range/net

    I bought today.....

    I bought a 1 hour lesson finally. Decided i'm happy with equipment/clothes for the time being (waterproofs aside, which i'm hoping to get for my birthday next month) and to focus on lessons and improvement

    Playing my first 18 holes tomorrow

    I wouldnt even bother counting scores. After i got familiar with hitting it on grass instead of the range, and actually having a target, i counted my scores and i was mid 120s. Eventually after a few months i got this to mid 90s. Then had a 4 year break from golf and i'm back to mid 110s!

    1 hour v 30min lesson

    I've weighed up the options and went for a 1 hour lesson. It will essentially be rebuilding my swing and I reckon an hour to get the foundations then 30min top ups every couple of weeks would be the best way to go...hoping it helps as i'm stuck for what to do with my game right now

    1 hour v 30min lesson

    Whats the verdict on this? Looking to get some refresher lessons booked in as my game since returning to golf after a 3 year hiatus is shocking. I feel like it'll be basically building my swing from scratch again. 30mins is 30 pounds and an hour is 45. Not sure what the best option to go for...

    4th hole

    I have the exact same issue. Our 2nd hole is a fairly long par 5 with a fence/road around 130 yards from the tee box. Im terrible off the tee, and i regularly hit a 8/9/10 on this hole because my tee shot is awful. The fence/road is really off putting and its like a huge mental block for me...
