Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

[Patster1969]

Had a bite of lunch at the club today with my wife…and after I suggested she might want to see our new 2nd hole being built. Yes I know that sounds weird but she’s heard a lot about the controversy surrounding the work so I thought she’d like to see what it’s all about. And yes…she was interested. And we had a look. And she thought it looked great. Now she knows

You old romantic

And lunch was...?

I had a very nice Club Sandwich and she (the cat's mother ) had a cheese and ham omelette - since you asked. Happens that our new chef and his sous chef are excellent and do splendid food at very decent prices - and in our completed refurbished and upgraded ground floor bar and dining areas it all works well.

Makes a change from asking a lass if she'd like to see my etchings - ask her if she'd like to see our new hole groundworks

Is that what men had in the olden days before tattoos… sounds painful

Sounds better than 'come up and see my scraper boards'

Email from the club saying no mats from tomorrow and Winter course discontinued, preferred lies until further notice.

Had a lesson this morning - my pro identified very quickly why I could hit some shots well (driver off the tee and wedges) - and why I completed mistimed and mishit everything else. The good. Driver off the tee? - mostly despite everything I was doing wrong; Wedges - mostly I was actually, and without really knowing it, doing the right thing.

And so we set about sorting things - and it's all about getting my address correct as the basis for 'compression' at strike - as he called how and where the club strikes the ball.

The difficult thing is that what I see of the shaft and club head at the address, is sooo very weird to my eyes. A couple of photos of me confirm that what he is saying is correct...of course it is...but as I stand there over the ball it feels very far from correct.

25 balls a day (no more) with very strict adherence to the practice procedure he gave me is required - day-in; day-out. It's going to be tough - but hey - I'm up for the challenge. I have to fix what has been making me miserable for a couple of years (after solving my hoselling problem)

London Olympics 1948 had an etching event.
Gold medal went to Albert Decaris of France.

That sounds almost as boring to watch as the England football team !

Got 11 holes in last night, still light enough at 7.45pm as we finished and I was in just a polo shirt, still warm!
