Expectations & Capability

Most get it the wrong way round.

It really is a funny game.


Play poorly and birdie the last, walk off with a smile. play well, double the last and walk off cursing.

Handicaps.

Ask two guys who both shot 80 how they feel............one off 20 and one off 5 and you'll get two different answers

Golf is a game based on...

REALITY.



Lets get one thing straight, we are not on the tour.

We are not going to all nail 300+ yards from the tee and keep it straight time after time.

We are not all going to be able to go round in less than 4 over.

We are not all going to be able to put the ball inside 1 foot from 160 yards, half of us can't do it from 50 yards.

The majority of us who use Pro V1 etc, we should really be using a dunlop.

We should concentrate on our swing and stroke rather than ball control.

Lets be real, we play for fun.

If we wanted to be that good and be in the top part of the pyramid...we should of turned our hobby into a profession/obsession.

Most of us have the obsession bit, regardless of skill level

Becoming a bandit for a few months and hating the attention.......

Wanting to become a bandit again for 20 years........
