Birdieman at the Spectacles

[Atticus_Finch]

I had the pleasure of playing a round with Birdieman today. Here he is playing his second shot at the 14th today. I'm off out just now, but will add some more later.

Who's that baldy git?......Oh yeah it's me, damn!

Great hole that one - I went blocked drive, decent 3 wood, good pitch and an easy 2 putt for par.

Don't lie, your playing partner is clearly indicating you had already had 4 shots

Glad you had a good day out. It is a course I am sure the vast majority of the forum would love to play- myself included.

Good shot on what looked a great day. Hope every hole was as good

Nice shot looked sweet as a choc chip cookie lol.

And here's the reason you're meant to avoid them...

Scotty is 6'3". Smaller men have been known to get lost in there.

Just one of the many reasons it's my favourite course on the planet!

Now that's a proper bunker!!

You can just imagine a flock of sheep huddling together in there out of the wind 400 years ago - obviously without the rake and the barriers but you get my drift!!

I have to admit its like a proper bunker....only smaller

Have you noticed how many bunkers your average Welsh golf course has got?

Nice, smooth swing Birdieman.

Thanks, tempo was quite good but I'm not entirely happy with the takeaway, to me it looks like I'm taking the club away too wide, arms leading the body instead of the other way round. Impact position is ok. I also get too flat very often and overreach for the ball which leads to pulled shots, lots to work on..
