A game of two halves, or three, or four... Catastrophic performance for the first six months with my long term swing rebuild all over the place. Too embarrassed to go to the course I retired to a local driving range - hit a new low there in July walking away from a bucket of balls unable to hit...

Something fair and representative, that’s all. Sadly that means a bit higher right now. Always worked on getting my hcp low and then got stranded on 2 a few years ago when injury struck. It’s taken a lot of frustrating .1’s and a pretty miserable time to get it higher and thankfully the new...

Played like a turnip for two years due to long term health problems and injury and it’s projected to go to 4.9 Won’t be enough.

These days I can enjoy the company of, and learn from nearly anyone in this game so ‘standard’ is often irrelevant. Good character and spirit wins out every time. There is something compelling about going toe-to-toe with the better player though...

Donation made, very much looking forward to it ?

Another G410 Crossover advocate - not pretty but silly easy to hit and surprisingly workable

- Keep up with the lessons - Play more than once every three months on the course - Find a way to sustain some enthusiasm; new club most likely or need to play more events away from home

Being a local I’ve played Hunny in all conditions, at all times of the year and often in championship events. She never disappoints. Every course has its good days and bad, take a wider view OP.

History points towards a trend like that; Hagen, Nelson, Jones, Nicklaus, Tiger etc. but the lines are blurred a little due to circumstances and health. Anomaly’s will pop up though 👍

I like the chip he has on his shoulder... keep that intact and he could have a good few years. Agree with the point about strength in depth of the tour that will make it hard to sustain - but he’ll have made his fortune by then 😉 Can’t see another Tiger coming along for a while...

Yes, it would help to have more on terrestrial tv from a few conversations I’ve had after The Open... It also needs to tap into online sources to capture younger folks these days - my lad sees lots of sporting clips through any number of online news and streaming services.
