So, I’ve just started playing again after a little break. Playing quite nicely really. My worst shots though are when I just go to fast and everything get out of sync. It usually ends up being an over top low left to right or the very worst ones are topped. So, any drills to help with timing...

Well, I’m not scoring any better, gad a couple of 79’s, but mostly somewhere between 80 and 90, can’t get the bloody thing in the hole???And quite inconsistent. But, today, a milestone was reached, first time ever driver over 300 yards, in fact 320yards, was a fairly strong back wind but still...

I remember well when I was in my early 20’s (my first time playing golf, and there’s been a few breaks in between) playing in an I terclub match, away, end of match I offer to the drinks in for the four of us. Another plyer, probably 60 ish (RAF officer) says ‘No, you’ve got 3 young kids to...

A friend of mine teaches in a public school. Some very wealthy parents and children, mostly great. Some of the worst are what are he calls ‘new money.’

Well, I think it’s about mental approach. i‘ve broken 80 twice, casual rounds, last time out I was 89!! What I do is just tell myself it doesn’t really matter. I’d like to get to single figures but it won’t change my life one way or the other, literally, it’s just a game and I’m playing for...

G1z1, if you were in earshot of a gentleman, he’d be walking up quietly and whispering in your ear something like ‘pipe down my laddie, you’re making a fool of yourself.’ I’m not sure how that works on a forum - but you’re making a fool of yourself buddie.

I think the problem with golf is - you won’t ever hit the perfect shot - and - most of us want to be a bit better than we currently are. Therefore, after every shot we can’t but ask ‘I wonder if just? Kept it outside like Rory does, swing a bit slower like my mate does, try this that my wife...

I’ve a 28degree hybrid. I find it a great club, makes a mid range shot easy. Probably goes about 170 on a no wind, flat shot, but let’s face it you never get them, golf (for me at least) is as much about feel and judgement. That said my experience is that lofted wood hit it higher and I‘m...

the never wo4ks again is usually right for me???

I was out for a game on Thursday. Average golf, a few pars, a double, plenty of bogeys, first birdie in moths?? Striking was okay but not exceptional. So I thought by way of experiment let’s just try hitting one without a single swing thought. Sets up counts to three - go - absolutely rips...

Come on, let’s get this back on track. I was enjoying the catch up when the OP’s lucky score was in the same sentence as toilet habits, crap and pornography???

I think I’m looking for excuses when I have a bad day. At least I can say ‘it’s hard here)????

I don’t mind if I never win a thing. Indeed I don’t expect ever to win!! But if it should happen I want if to be fair! I’ve no wish to be the club bandit!???

it‘s only about 7 months since those cards but I’ve played a lot of solo rounds and non card rounds, had a few lessons and worked hard to improve. I’d just feel it wasn’t fair to win off that handicap. I’m playing with a friend next week who’ll mark a card for me.

this is exactly where I am. I put 4 cards in when I first started and got 19.6. Now I often play to 12-14! Think I might put a couple of cards in before a comp.
