I'm finding some of this hard to believe . . . The OP has been a forum member since 2012, made 144 posts and has never heard of Delc? Seriously though, I thought everyone knew the numbers on the bottom were just to distinguish one club in your bag from another. The one with a 7 will...

As much as my wife will let me!

Blind Tee shots for me too. Always seem to pull my shot.

Exactly this.

Around 30. I try and play most weeks but life gets in the way. I've now joined a club and will soon be getting my first official Handicap. I'm hoping to play at least once a week in 2016.

I think there needs to be some official guidelines from the R&A on what is an acceptable pace of play. If a 4 ball gets round in 3 1/2 or 4 hours and has not lost ground to the groups in front then maybe it could be poor etiquette for the following 3 ball to try and "rush" through? When in a...

My wife treated me to a years membership to our local club. Think shes trying to get rid of me 😄

Slow it all down. Let the club do the work. Exhale during your swing muttering "Severiano Bellesteros" and watch for the ground under the ball before looking up. Been playing for just over a year. Struggled at first but now regularly in the mid 80s.

I've been playing for a year now and things seem to be coming together. I'm currently averaging low 90's to High 80's but always have a couple of holes that push the score up. I recon if i could get my driver to work i could regularly get into the 70's and a single figure handicap. What about you?

My PP used to have the worst anger issues. One bad shot would affect him for the next few holes. He actually quit the game for a while. He bought NGT and cherry picked the parts that he thought could help him. Hes now a changed man and a pleasure to play with. Has NGT made him a better golfer...

I use a Garmin watch and Game Golf. Quick glance at the watch when you get to the ball. Select club with more confidence because im more aware if my yardages. The tag takes a second and now forms part of my pre shot routine. Hit ball. I actually think this combination speeds you up rather than...

Same for me. My game falls apart if i start worrying about being somewhere else. I sometimes finish work early and sneak off for a round without my wife knowing. The first 9 are usually ok but crumbles on the back 9 when the guilt hits 😭

I usually stay calm and give myself a jolly good talking to.

I've only broken 90 a few times and this morning smacked in a juicy 80! Instead of being chuffed im actually disapointed i didnt get into the 70's 😄. I suppose I shouldn't be too upset seeing that I only hit 1 fairway.

When you hit a Green in Regulation, do you think "great, a chance for a birdie" or "great, two putts for par"? I'm in the latter camp and think i need to toughen up!
