First round at my new club

[medwayjon]

Played my 1st round at Gillingham Golf Club today and had a great time.

Paired up with a fellow newish member for the round and had a good game of golf with good company.

All in all I was pleased with my score, my target was to get in under 100 which would be fantastic for someone of my level on a new course. I ended up shooting 93 so was absolutely delighted.

I have however, developed a slice since my amount of practice has decreased so need to rectify it.

Well done fella glad to see you had a good day.

 

[TonyN]

Pleased to hear it (not the slice, thats bad news but just means ya gotta go the range more, not a bad thing)

Soon you be shootin under 90 every week.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Excellent news. Do you use any software to analyse your rounds? It might highlight areas where there are specific weaknesses (bogey holes) tricky greens where you keep 3 putting.

Just wondered as it may help you adjust and focus on specific areas where perhaps you can change strategy or practice (maybe when you play a few holes with the new pro)

well done jon thats a good score did you keep the card for handicap???

 

[billyg]

Well done mate.

You wanna get that one marked off and turned in sharpish.

93 on a first round- you've been tugging our chains all this time right?

 

[medwayjon]

Kept it as a h/cap card yes. Just need to put in another 2 and then will be able to get my handicap.

Was a good score for sure, I drove the ball pretty long which really helps.

Just need to cure this bloody slice, will have a lesson for that. Wasn't a major concern though as I can play around it.

I played saturday and developed a slice, think i tried to hit the ball harder and lost some timing maybe as i got round.

couldnt hit a green after that.

did you get many birdie putts ?

 

[StuartD]

Pah!! Easy course

Well done!! Good first score for the handicap.

Try not to get too carried away with it and look to beat 93 every time you are on the course. Think you are level headed enough to know that anyway

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Long may it continue!

well done meddy ,keep up the good work

 

[Leftie]

Good on yer mate. Sounds like the course came up to your expectations. I agree with Homer about keeping stats (ok I know it's anorakish) but it definitely helps your game.

Look forward to hearing regular progress reports.

well done squire , many more good rounds forget about the slice!!!

 

[Basher]

I'm pleased for you Meddy.
It's a brilliant feeling playing on your course for the first time. Even more pleasing when you return a sub ton score.

Well done mate and enjoy!

 

[Smudge]

Nice one fella. sub 100 first time rounds got to be good, and then knowing its back to that plush clubhouse after, cant be bad.

 

[RGuk]

93 first time out.....good score! Once you know your way round perfectly, you'll be under 90 every time!
Any holes you've yet to figure out....I'm still totally undecided about how to play 3 or 4 at my club, that's after 20? rounds.

Nice one MWJ, when you get to know the course better and you start playing in comps, your golf will improve no end.
