Notice the putter in the above photos?

Seller made no mention of it in the listing and it was not clear from the photos exactly what it was.
I was not expecting it to arrive.
I have to say that as a putter, it barely rates a mark of one-out-of-ten.

However...

It's an omen, you've got to play it!

Has a lesson with a former Amateur Champ this morning... as usual, it takes him about 10 minutes to get me sorted out.

I wish he could fix shoulder injuries as easy!

That took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out.....

 

[Neilds]

Took the new irons onto the range this morning, oh my days, what a joy to hit

Can't wait to get on the course this weekend

You do know they won’t work as well on the course , don’t you?

Depends on if he's paid for them yet...if they're on the credit card he has a couple of weeks at least.....

I fully expect my full two week honeymoon period, and with about 7 rounds in next 10 days booked the timing couldn't be better

Had a go on the living-room carpet today.
It is utter garbage.
Might still do as you suggest in ten days time.

Well I don’t know if it’s your track but seeing it mentioned on the list reminds me I’ve played Elderslie a good few times as one of my best mates at college was (maybe still is) a member. Playing it early 80s you rather had to watch out for incursions from Foxbar…

Interested to know in what way it's "garbage"! Surely a putter can't be THAT bad?

I’m no2 on the list, Willow Valley. I’m sure Royal Liverpool will be a whole new level.

If you are really interested to know, I'll sell it to you for 50p.
Then you'll be certain that it is garbage.
Anything like this and I usually give it to the charity shop - but I wouldn't even inflict this one on them. Utter junk.

Decent. Shame it means driver will be cack tomorrow!

Played in a charity golf comp in my home town on Friday, organised by some old school friends I’ve not seen since we were kids, was great catching up with old pals.

I didn’t know one of the chaps in our group, we were walking up the fairway comparing our similar and ancient electric trolleys, when he said ‘does your auto distance/stop still work’? My reply being his must be a newer model as mine doesn’t have that feature. He proceeded to show me how to do it on my trolley, press and hold, couple of clicks, off it went and stopped a few seconds later.

10 years+ I’ve had that trolley!

 

[PJ87]

Never been to Topgolf. What do the numbers represent?

Points.

To get over 200 points you need to be hitting the back two targets regularly which are around 200 yards away, so for me means hitting driver straight and not slicing it and missing them both right.

After winning the county qualifier a team of three of our best club golfers went to Ealing Golf Club over the weekend to play the other county winners over two rounds with the combined gross score being the score posted. Our team only went and won it scoring 430 (+10) and we are England Golf's Men's Champions Club of 2023.

After holding a number of county events over the past few years, next year we are to host a Midlands event for the first time. All credit to our greenkeeper team who are continually improving the course and attracting top players from the area to join.

I can actually hit a 4 iron

Lottie Woad (of my club) starts her sophomore year at college in the US with another top 5 performance...following up on an equal 1st place in the ANNIKA Inter-Collegiate Invitational a couple of weeks back; plus she's been selected in the three player England ladies team for the World Amateur Team Golf Championship to be played in Abu Dhabi next month.

Amateur women's golf might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's great to have the opportunity to gain an insight and an understanding of it (Rose Zhang was Lottie's target to aim for until she turned pro last year - and she went straight into the US Solheim Cup team). And it's great to watch someone I've known since she was seven making progress in such a tough sporting environment.

Woad Leads Seminoles To Fifth Place Finish At Schooner - Florida State University

NORMAN, Okla. – Florida State sophomore Lottie Woad finished in a tie for third in the individual standings, and the No. 10 ranked Seminole Women's Golf team...
