Excuse the Self Indulgence

[drewster]

Gents, apologies as per the title, but I'm dead chuffed to anounce that, at least for a week , i can say that I'm a SINGLE FIGURE GOLFER!!!!! This without doubt is my biggest ever sporting achievement. Cricket, Football and Rugby came pretty easy to me but this bloody game of ours has never felt natural. I knew i had to make a 10 footer on 18 yesterday to become a SFG and i drained it. I now feel like a 46 year old kid who's got a top of the range Tonka for Christmas.

Interestingly enough my last two rounds have been without a DMD of any kind. Just checking out where the 150 yd markers are and selecting clubs using the visuals.

Just got to try and hang on now and maybe even see if i can get lower.

Congrats, drester. Very well done. Enjoy it whlle it lasts :lol: (no, just kidding, looking at how your handicap progressed, I am sure you will go even lower eventually)

Well done mate, some of us are still dreaming

 

[garyinderry]

Great feeling lad. Enjoy it.

 

[LincolnShep]

Great work. Well done.

 

[Jensen]

Excellent, well done. That takes some doing, as you say it's the toughest game I've ever played.

 

[Junior]

Self indulgence excused !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done sir. You can get lower !!!!!!!

 

[IanG]

Well done - still striving for the SFG hallowed land here, so encouraging to hear of others successes!

Now that you've busted down the barrier, hopefully you can go a bit lower to enjoy the stay for a while.

Fair play, that's great work. I'll be lucky if I ever get to 18 let alone 9.

Well done, great stuff :thup:, hope it lasts longer than the one qualifier like mine did when I hit 9.4

 

[patricks148]

well done, no reason why you can't get lower. same cut and buffer until you get to 5.

QED - top stuff sir! - but I shouldn't comment further as my thoughts on using DMDs in comps round your own track is an argument I have lost (I rarely win any mind).

Your indulgence is permitted - I am on the cusp of where you are - with last two rounds under CSS and been cut to 9.7 - with any luck and a little skill I'll soon be back to SFs - target is 8 this year. And I know I can do it - we can do it

Thanks all, it's good to share success with like minded folk !!! If I can get to Single Figures then literally anyone can. I've had about 4 x 30 minute lessons in about 15 years of playing , i don't practice at all but I do make sure i try my best over every shot i play. My weekly golfing pass is precious and i try to make sure that i make the most of it.If you can manage your mind and know your limitations then anything , relatively speaking, is achievable.

Well done Drewster :thup:

You need to come over to our place before the end of the year.

 

[williamalex1]

Well done Drewster :thup: but have you had a hole in one yet ?

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Very well done sir !!

 

[mcbroon]

Well done that man :thup:

 

[Big_G]

Well done sir :thup:

 

[Hobbit]

Well played!

You do realise you will have played better than 9 to get there. Can't see why you can't maintain and get lower... still early enough in the season to go lower.
