We are 8 mins, I think we should not let people tee off until the green is clear, mad as it sounds it would really space it out .. doesn't take long to play the 1st

After 30 years of trying, today I finally did it and joined that special club.
Yep, I hit another golfer

The knowledge that my handicap can only go down or stay the same with the next card I put in, after two increases of +1 in the last two rounds

Having struggled with the "sherman tanks" for the last few months, i managed 18 holes without one and played some quite tidy golf. it was one of my most enjoyable moments on a golf course.....

Is Sherman Tank related to Tommy?
there is one obvious reason why the golfing gods have curesed you with the "shermans"...
the use of iron covers

Maybe, but he’s certainly related to J Arthur Rank, who happens to be going out with Lucy Lockett.
I still bump into them occasionally when I’m out, but most times these days our paths don’t cross.

…and what really gladdens my heart is that the word SHANK no longer strikes the fear of death in me - even though I too will still occasionally hit one, but it’s taken near 20yrs

I shank about 20 every time I go to the range at the moment. No idea what's happening. Just have to laugh and hit the next one

Exactly what used to happen to me at the driving range. Haven't had it lately though, touch wood. I think I hit it better on the course because I'm much more target-focused, I prefer to think about where I'm going over what I'm doing. Also the driving range can feel a little claustrophobic, particularly with the longer clubs, so maybe we don't swing as freely there.

Last week's range session saw me find some consistency with the last 30 balls or so, with my swing back to normal, and at the weekend I struck the ball really well. Last night's range session saw me go thin, pure, shank, pure, thin, pure etc for the first 20 balls. I always start so poorly at the moment.
Having said that, the range wasn't a particularly pleasant place to be last night, with the rain swirling into the bays. I left a strike pattern on the mat!

Yeah I hate that. Every driving range I've ever used always seems to be wind into, for some reason. Not only is it unpleasant but the ball flight is practically useless as well.
