Ha ha, no it isn't. All the zips are fully functioning.
Maybe I've been lucky but I'm really happy with it.

Great scoring ?Deciding not to enter the midweek medal then shooting 73 ?
If you had entered someone would have probably coughed on your backswing and you'd have shonk one OB - maybe...

Bogey. Saturdays comp is bogey. The most rubbish format in golf. Except foursomes bogey. Foursomes 5 club bogey. Maybe mixed 5 club foursomes bogey.
Anyway, any format where you could potentially shoot 9 under your handicap and buffer is a poor format. ( 9 h/cap, birdie the shot holes, bogey the others, = level par, 9 under h/cap, = 0 = buffer).

We have one bogey event a year which happens to be an honours board event and played over tow rounds so double the purgatory. I managed to shoot -1 and -6 one year to lose to a guy that shot level and -8. Fair play to the guy and can do nothing about what anyone else scores but the annoying thing was in 6 out of the previous 7 years (and most since) it would have been enough to win comfortably. Fortunately Corona put paid to it this year and looking very unlikely to get played in the remainder of the season
Went to the range and could hardly hit a ball, then last 8 balls just said to trust myself with the driver and finish with a pose...
Was hitting a slight left to right but 220 yards With range balls, so hope there.
Wish I could just relax more ??

Garmin plastic straps - one side bust - makes the whole device unusable as a watch 
Daft isn't it. We know we can do it but there are days when the brain and body simply refuse to talk to each other. Put it down to one of those sort of days and go out on the course positive and knowing you are a competent player and let it flow

Mine did the same so I cut off what was left of the straps and I had some Velcro with sticky backs so cut out the shape of the watch and stuck one half to the watch and the other to the left side handle of my trolley. Works a treat.

My old S3 strap did same last week. Got one on eBay less than £15, comes with a tool to take out pins.
Watch like new.

Went to the range yesterday to work on some changes from a lesson last week, put myself right at the end of the range so had a bit of quiet and could focus. 10 minutes in and with the range pretty much empty, guy turns up with his 3 kids and goes in the 4 bays next to me. Their noise and fats/thins/shanks/air balls made it a pretty frustrating range session.
On the flip side, the kids wanted to be there and were obviously having fun. Something I hope to do with Sophia when she is old enough.

Invited a few mates into my clubs Open which we played in yesterday, 4BBB 90% handicap.
Me and my mate didn't play very well, a paltry 35 points, the other to had a blinder, long putts flying in from all over the place, chips from off the green nestling up to the hole, poor shots getting great bounces and lucky kicks, they romped home with 45 points.
Found out this morning a 51 points has been handed in

People who cannot keep still or quiet when you are playing your shot. Three times today someone I played with put his club back in his bag or did up a zip just as I was swinging. Once I managed to stop myself but the other twice it was too late. Eventually I had to call him out on the final hole for walking along, clubs banging away, whilst I am trying to play. And when the two of us spoke to him about it after the round, he claimed it was the first time anyone had ever said anything like that to him.
Sounds like a touch of the "Monty's"

It's a well known fact that the sudden noise from a zip can cause a golfer to be suddenly and unnecessarily distracted!

Plenty of people are good at focusing and able to block things out, so I can well believe no one had moaned at him about it before. It just depends who he normally plays with. Guy I was playing with on Saturday was taking a shot, someone on the adjacent hole shouted fore and a ball landed about 10 yards behind us with a thud, but this guy finished his shot regardless and played a good one. I said "fair play, did that ball landing not put you off?" and he said 'oh what ball?'
Not excusing him of course, you should always try and refrain from making a noise while someone is actually hitting the ball as it's common courtesy. I'm just saying maybe he normally plays with people with laser focus and he's got used to not worrying about it.
