Still got to be 'straight' though! In fact, the further you hit it, the straighter (or at least 'more accurate') you have to be!

Was by far my best drive of the day. Straight down the pipe.
Hit my second shot fat and it rolled around 20 yards in front ?

Bit rich in the first comp to insinuate someone would throw the last two holes to protect a handicap. How do you know what scores he had dropping off the WHS? Always best to somply focus on your own score and your own game

Many, many, good scorecards are lost on the last two holes in a comp. The thoughts of a great score are hard to squash and a wayward tee shot follows more often than not.
Handicap manipulation is much rarer than self inflicted mental pressure.
Play a few more comps and you’ll find out for yourself.

so you’d say the psychological aspect as well as physical one coming into the last few holes can make or break any card

Look at the best players in the world, it normally comes down to handles the pressure the best.

The psychological aspect can make or break a card from hole one. Physical fatigue just adds to that as the round goes on.

There are many cliches about how golf is a mental game not a physical one.

If you have a good card going, the last 3 or 4 holes are Hell on Toast psychologically....

Ha, ha, I played with a guy in the week who managed 12 points going out and 24 on the back nine!That's golf... guy I played with this morning had 22 points stood on the 10th tee.
He signed for 33 after 18.

AT LEAST 310. Probably more, in winter all carry no roll. Legend.
PGA Tour driving average is 294 yards, the includes roll and of course they are playing in warm summer conditions all year round.

Another forum legend. Amazing we've not seen them on any tour yet. I bet they are all arrow straight too

In my experience, anyone who claims to hit a 300+ yard drive, tend to struggle to hit it 240+ yards when I play with them. Maybe I'm just a bad omen...

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Hopefully one day I will find out ?

I'm sure it will. Keep the faith. If a muppet like me can get good rounds going and get into contention in comps then m sure you can

Been completely picked apart this weekend. All in good spirits.
One is to ‘mark’ my ball. Couple of times I’ve had to play provisionals and just picked a ball out the bag not knowing what number it was.
Been advised and good etiquette to put a tee in the ground when I pick my ball up to clean.
Also I have to finish the hole with a putt. My ball was on the rim which I picked up unbeknown to me I had to sink it.
And I got pulled on a countback!!
Talk about karma. I must have blocked a really bad shot out my head. I didn’t score any points on the hole anyway but I was embarrassed about it. Very easily done!
Lots of things happening now that I fully understand.

Im learning the hard way. Medals and Majors coming up within 2 weeks so I’m a lot more prepared now than I was a week ago in regards to the rules.
