Golf Random Irritations

Played Friday in sweltering heat. Managed to play well scoring 41 points and received a handicap reduction. Great prep for today’s major comp you would think. 23 points in equally sweltering heat was beyond irritating.
 
Why do I stripe it with my 20 ball bucket ..I hit the 150 marker regularly. Get on the damn course and I miss greens , my driver goes into every fairway bunker ..
Going into bunkers is so hit and miss, if there is sand no problem, but no sand it’s just rubbish.

When you’re on the range, maybe try and aim your driver at something further away than the 150 marker?!

We had a weird one yesterday. Group of 4 in front (members, we play with their dad normally so know them) we let them get to the green before teeing off as nobody was behind us (par 4) had to wait for them for tee off and second shot on second hole? How? Then 3rd hole (par 5) we suddenly lost them (buggies) we let the match behind us (2 ball quick guys) through .. then on 13 they let the 2 ball through (we had let them through on 5) but they hide out of sight and we almost teed off not realising they were there. They let us through on 14.. it was surreal how slow and then quick they could be.. we finished 18 had a drink and then they appeared

They must of all 4 putted 😂
 
…that i threw in three doubles yesterday - made much worse by them being on holes I’d expect to play in, at worst, about one-over in total…🤬

And yes at one point I flung my 7i at my bag in total frustration…and I have no regrets whatsoever for doing so (I was standing about 3ft from my bag so it didn’t fly far).
 
In Edinburgh for weekend played Prestonfield Thursday enjoyable round and was not busy Friday walked in after 14 stuck behind 4x4 balls, yesterday played Duddingston at 3.20pm where there was competition on and was pleasantly surprised how quite it was never even saw anyone in front.

Duddingston was definitely the best course of the two and really enjoyed that round.

I never even go on the click bait monthly website. Just visit the forum.

A 2002 driver would be non-conforming today anyway because of the restrictions in COR. My TM R320ti was the best driver I’ve ever had.

As per Crow, not all drivers were non conforming and there were conforming and non conforming versions of the same club. My R580 was non conforming but I had a conforming version and a non conforming of the R540.

I too was seriously upset about having to give up the R580. Went through about 8 drivers in the following year before finding one I hit to a similar consistency.
 
Played in first round of the club championship yesterday.
As to be expected, the greens had been tricked up and were stupid fast.
But I can't blame that for my woeful score - actually didn't putt that bad.
Losing 3 balls was what did me in. I often manage to get round with one ball.
