For all the Cat 1 golfers

[HomerJSimpson]

We have a guy at our place with the most agricultural swing imaginable but it rarely gets him in trouble and from 100 yards and in he's deadly. He has the art of scoring to the nth degree

I play quite a lot with a 5 handicapper. To summarise his game

He doesn't practice a lot.
He doesn't have a classic swing.
He doesn't have a fancy pre-shot routine.
He doesn't look at his putts from all angles.
He uses off the shelf clubs with regular shafts.
He doesn't (appear to) take the game too seriously.

He basically just walks up to the ball and hits it.

He does hit the ball quite a long way (with a very penetrating draw).
He doesn't miss many fairways.
He has a very good short game
He does hole a lot of putts.
He never throws shots away.

He is great fun to play with.

Played today with this thought in my mind, shot one over PB off the back tees in very windy conditions and on my new course which is much longer and tougher than my old course where my PB was set.

Truly good sound advice this :thup:

surely your pb is at that course and you have shot a new pb for your present course??

That is very true, i'll take that.

Was thinking back on the round and I did not play great but kept the ball in play and kept away from trouble by just playing sensible golf (apart from our par 3 17th which I managed a double bogey)
