40 points in our swindle yesterday with a lost ball on 16 that I thought was nowhere near any trouble. Same hole today from the medal tee which is fifty yards further back and make a birdie 4. Golf is stupid.
I like your style, an understandable irritation nicely book-ended with two humble brags40 points in our swindle yesterday with a lost ball on 16 that I thought was nowhere near any trouble. Same hole today from the medal tee which is fifty yards further back and make a birdie 4. Golf is stupid.
If I’d had a birdie on that hole yesterday the 3 extra points would have given me the win by 1 point.I like your style, an understandable irritation nicely book-ended with two humble brags
Working hard this winter to try and get some handicap cuts. Game feels like it’s improving but not yet had any cards that show this improvement.
Played yesterday, couldn’t register a general play card as first four greens were temps. 39 points!
Tried starting on 10? Might Id whether it's difficulty or simply tiredness.Over the last few rounds I've been finding I play well enough for maybe 12 holes - and in general scoring really well - often only maybe 2 or 3 over gross for the 12. Then something happens and it becomes a real struggle to keep together - not helped by our back 9 being harder than the front 9. And that's what happened Saturday. 3 over after 12 then dropped further 6. Doing my head in.

Out yesterday for short range session I realised that my grip had slipped back to where it 'had been' before pro correction, the all too comfortable strong grip that I used with fast hands to straighten up the club face needed to mitigate the risks associated with of my long time seriously flawed swing.
I have a k/o match on Wednesday. I think I must fix my grip before then, but of course it feels very strange. Truth is that when I reflect on my 12 hole scoring it is clear that I score well due to my short game. As soon as that stops working well I struggle. So change it is and so off to the range later.
Golf - the game's a beggar,
Could be - but I am thinking that I have managed to score well but almost from the off my managing of things gradually slips, until it goes wrong. And because I then try and 'fix it' by doing what my pro has had me working on - but I don't look at EVERYTHING he has had me change (as in - SILH we only have to change one thing about your game - everything) - I only part fix - and that actually exacerbates things. I shall report back laterTried starting on 10? Might Id whether it's difficulty or simply tiredness.
Personally, if my bad rounds were only 9 over par gross, I'd be in a very happy place.Over the last few rounds I've been finding I play well enough for maybe 12 holes - and in general scoring really well - often only maybe 2 or 3 over gross for the 12.

I get that... Until I started to fix things I was mid-high teens (and over) quite regularly.Personally, if my bad rounds were only 9 over par gross, I'd be in a very happy place.
Well I only hit 30 balls as it was windy and cold - but as hoped - yup - weakening my grip had a significant improving effect (checking ball/clubhead strike position) - and it didn't feel too awkward. Ball flight was better also - but I know that that's not a good strike indicator for me - more a secondary outcome.Could be - but I am thinking that I have managed to score well but almost from the off my managing of things gradually slips, until it goes wrong.

These look positively smart and tidy by today's standards! Also, nobody buys black football boots anymore. Ha.
