20 to 9.7 ... make that 9.1 :) Single figures are MINE.

[Philm]

played in the first weekend of our club comps and was 1 under gross through 10, then proceeded to double two and triple one. BOO.

but anyways im still in the hunt for the 2nd round, 3strokes of the lead and now officially single figures.

Happy boy. i think so.

Keep playing fellas you do get better.

haha yeah the next 10shots will be more challenging(or even the next 2 or 3)! lol i would like to be really start having my good rounds regularly in and around cat 1 and i dont think its too far beyond me but i know that ill never be a pro so not too worried how bad my bad rounds are.

im pretty pathetic at practising so ive no great plans to start doing any more of that, so it'll be mainly comp time to try and pressurize myself to preform.

i dont have one, no one has.

thinking there is one out there holds alot of people back, a friend of mine has spent hours on youtube watching any number of videos on how to swing a club.. and is surprised he hasnt improved.

i dont know what it is about golf that makes people become the engineer all of a sudden. but with most other sports the first part of being any good learn the very basics and practice.

if i started talking to someone who played football about what tilt angle they should have in their standing leg when hitting a shot versus hitting a high clearance they would piss themselves and rightly so.

same should be the case with golf, chip/drive/putt or whatever learn how to hold the club in a loosely textbook way and start trying the shots. watch the pros in the comps on sky if you enjoy that and just try and enjoy the game.

i think if you sicken yourself by watching youtube tutorials and so on of guys telling you how to do something you can lose the fun of golf. remember those guys arent passing on information that they found on youtube! these Pros have been out knocking a ball round for hours and watching what it does.

you see timing and building a natural rhythm needs to be done with a club in your hands and a breeze in your face.

Get your there and enjoy it
