Golf Random Irritations

Not sure whether this is an irritation or one that gladdens the heart
Anyway I've just gone up to a hi of 7.6 which means a ph of 10 off our white tees
In over 50 years of playing I've never had double digit shots before ....
Ok I know I'm still 7.6 !

My heart is bleeding ;)

Would that I could get down to single figures of any tee or especially my HI currently 11.9, which is as low as it's been.
 
Can't really sell it now anyway as the head and shaft don't match up. I've put the 5 wood back in the bag, and in my cupboard that leaves a 7 wood with a 3 wood shaft. 😄
You do realise as soon as you sell one then the one you keep starts misbehaving.
This leaves you looking everywhere for your old one but you can’t find the exact same spec so spend 2 grand on 8 different models that are nearly the same but don’t quite work as well.
Then as soon as you find the same one the club you kept starts working again. 😂😂

Agreed! I have loved this 7 wood and they're actually quite hard to come by even second hand these days since the demand for 7 woods went up so much. Shame I can't fit it in my bag at the minute but I'll be holding onto it.
 
Nobody likes a lip out.....but sometimes I just don't get the physics of it.
If a ball lips out and gets flung a couple of feet away - I can understand that.
When a ball lips out and stops so close to the hole that the edge of the ball is in line with the edge of the hole....how?
How can it have too much speed to drop but stop so close?
I had one today...it was one where you'd wait your 10 seconds to see if it drops. It went virtually all the way around the hole.
We just stared at each other for what seemed an eternity in utter disbelief.
Physics can do one........

The guys i played with yesterday were incredulous, threw the balls up to get the pairings then the ritual of sorting out the shots, ph 10 I say, unbelievable they say, knocking it past them on almost every hole, 4 birdies to boot, easiest £5 I've ever made.
I get the impression there might be an 'unofficial adjustment' the next time we play !

Your first ever handicap was single figures? 🤨
 
Pal of mine at the same club as me & Ali had a first hcp of 4. Never been above that apparently.
Fair enough. To me it just means a handicap wasn't obtained until at a decent level of golf. It's a bit of a contrived accomplishment
 
Midweek medal being turned into a non qualifier on the morning of due to tining works and a couple of temp greens in play

Nice scheduling
