Standing closed to the target to force the release, previously I was coming across the ball and as a by product I think I was holding the face open and naturally softening my grip.
Second was pausing and just settling before pulling the trigger.
Third, tempo, tempo, tempo
I've just changed my irons from graphite Callaway Razr X's to 20 year old Titleist DCI plus(look like blades!)
Switching back to my old putter and alainging the ball With the alinement aid.
not loosing a ball helped!!!!!!

Finally broke 100 today with a 98
Shot 46 and 52, front 9 was great and i was duffing a few but still managing to keep the scores down... The back 9 started all wrong with a 9, 8 and a 7 on a par 3.
Added up my scores on the 14th again and knew from there 4 bogeys would get me to 99, cue concentration again... started with a doubleoo:, then a par put me back on track before another bogey on the 17th:thup:. So it was all on the last hole.
18th hole is par 4 90 degree dog-leg right over a river, just cleared the minium 170yrd carry as i hit my tee shot to high; 145yrds left in and i try to rip it from the rough and the ball went off at 45degree angle - i knew my head went a bit but i had a fair lie on the next shot so relaxed for and pitched the 65 yards in and then drained the 7ft putt for another par.
Its been a long time coming, 3 years and ~30 rounds as i tended to only ever play 6 rounds or so over winter before going off to other things - going to try and stick with it though this year.
Great start to the weekend. Just need 2 more card now for a H/C
Nice one fella :thup:

Pass - I put all my scores on Golfshake, I've played circa 30 rounds and today I went from 28 to 27.2.
My PP's will probably question the same!!!!
Cracking start to the weekend! Well played.

your course scratch on the day must have been 67 you shot nett 65 two shots equates to .8

Good shooting :thup:
Keep it going!
Keep it going!
Well done, I only managed it myself recently. My course is a par 74, so doing it on frequent basis is very hard for me.

Well done mrbrightside, just go and do it again now.
Reminds me of an apocryphal tale from Bogside. This group returned to the clubhouse congratulating one of their playing partners on breaking 100, on further enquiry it turned out he had broken 100 with his net score

Many of the books talk about your score dropping by a few at a time, generally because you learn to do something better, instead of dropping by a shot at a time.
What handicap you hoping for?

You can do it. Belief, and not trying too hard. Bet in that 93 there were a number of silly mistakes. It's about trying to cut them out. Onwards and downwards

This.
When I broke 100 the first time I didn't realise it until I got in to my car and put my glasses back on to finally read the screen on my phone! It was even better when I discovered I'd scored 94...
Sadly that's still my best score. *sigh*

So just forget it and move forward, nobody constantly beats the previous score. You know you can do it, start a fresh the next time you play, relax and enjoy.
