Golf Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

I wonder if he had a giggle about it with his mates as they walked down the first.

Well done that man. I bet he said "there was a right idiot trying to work on his game. Wasn't having that so knocked his balls out the way and putted my own. Should have seen his face"

Played at Yelverton yesterday on the edge of Dartmoor - excellent course. Big fire had started on the moor and acrid smoke started blowing across the course. Had to miss three holes. That was definitely a new reason for not completing a round.

I was just glancing at the competition scores on IG, and one chap who shot over 100 managed a hole in 1 on a 400 yard hole apparently. I suspect he might have entered his score wrong for that one.

Out yesterday evening I decided to give using a red tee for 4 hybrid, 5i and even 6i tee shots. I’ve been struggling with my strike with these clubs And it worked well.

But I had the feeling it was ‘wrong’. But why do I feel that. It irritated me that I felt so. If it works then what’s the issue. Surely if a slightly raised ball has a better chance of being struck out of the club sweet spot then what’s the deal about being ‘expected’ to tee right down or use no tee for such clubs.

Don't think so much! If it works, don't knock it!

Just had an email from Howdidido telling me my score of gross 74 has cut my handicap to 6.1....a score that was put in last Thursday ?

I remember Liam from golf mates saying he was shocked at how high the tour pros were teeing their iron shots up on layups and par 3's when he caddied for Dan Gavins

i have been teeing the ball up higher for my irons and 3 wood for a while now - mainly because the tees at the driving range were of a similar height and it seemed to work ok

I use the short non-barrel tees for everything other than driver, and I vary the height depending on how I'm feeling, or how I'm striking it that day, or whether I want to hit that particular shot with more height or not. I don't think there are any rules saying you need to tee it low - as long as you're not skying by teeing it too high, then crack on.

Some great holes there. The one time that I played there the fairways were full of almost every type of animal? known to man. ?

They'd all done a runner because of the fire when I was there. But yes there was everywhere including on the end of my 5-wood.

There's ? on the end of your club.
No, other end.

Oldies are the besties. That or you've seen him hit his 5 wood

Someone came out with this little gem years ago when I walked out to bat.
He couldn’t look me in the eye after hit 200 not out in 30 overs

Took my partner and my kids to crazy golf tonight after dinner.
She beat me by 10 shots!
TEN beeping shots!!!

I've told her I can't see a future for us! ?

A 4 putt. Probably my third in 35 years.

Ordering some of the Vice Golf Stan Smiths shoes directly from Vice when they went live at 4pm, only to find them for 25 quid cheaper on Function 18 minutes after.

The "revocation" of the sale for Vice looks a right ballache.

I’ve been absolutely striping it every time I’ve tee’d it up since January

100% shooting nett 80 come the first comp of the new season
