Played Royal Ashdown today with a new society for the first time (course and society).
Bugger me, it was hard work but what a course. Started well, poor middle and a reasonable end until 4 putts from 8 ft finished me off! That heather is beastly.
There is where my Apple watch comes in handy, I just get Siri to start a 3min countdown as I start looking.Played both balls (after telling my PPs my intentions) to the green as wasn’t sure of ruling and then called a referee over. Couldn’t be sure that we had taken less than 3 minutes looking so had to use my provisional. Annoying as my original ball was 10 feet below the hole with a good look at birdie. I did manage to hole a slippery 6 foot down hiller for a 6 with my provisional. I think my head would have exploded if I’d missed it?.As it was it took me a couple of holes to get the incident fully out of my head. My next purchase from Amazon is a stopwatch to hang on my golf bag.
Once I have picked the spot to tee off from and put my ball on the tee, I always use my pitch fork to remove any of these tees that you refer to that are in my eye line. It’s amazing how many are full length and not broken.Tee pegs that have been stamped on or hammered into the ground in the teeing area.

I have come to understand that as soon as I take my stance I must get my head out of the equation as my thinking at that point gets in the way of my golf. I must do my swing thoughts on the practice ground and leave them there, and do my thinking about the shot to be played before I take my stance. Easier said than done.?Out for 9 holes this afternoon before work, first 5 holes utter dog s**t, a million swing thoughts in my head.
Played the last 4 like a golfer (of some sort) 1 over, great drives, pitching close and flushing irons.
I've got to change my mindset to get some degree of consistency.
What's wrong with that? I think it makes sense. I think of my PW as a 10 iron since that's essentially what is. Would make more sense if they wrote 10 on it.A set of irons numbered 5 to 11.
I could say more, but I'll just leave it there
