I played against him at Woodhall Spa two (or was it THREE) years ago.
If he was a 9 handicapper, my cock's a kipper.

I've no idea how that works ... He's dropped from 12 to 4.6 that quick it sounds like you loose a shot if you hit a good shot at the range!

The simple answer is that he was NEVER a 12 handicapper.
Well, certainly not in the last 10 years

Maybe it was 9 ... Still some cut though, very impressive.

I think Adey was playing off 9 at Woodhall

Of course it is. D'oh! There I go again, confusing feet and yards. Even I was surprised that time I hit a 270yard* wedge. (*Checks sums to be sure he's not making another arse of himself.)
At least I told you there was a ditch there. Many on here would not have.
Indeed Richard but you are a gentleman. I wouldn't expect any less.
What ditch ?
Oh, you probably didn't see it Phil. It was in the middle of the fairway...

I hate playing golf in crappy weather, can't have all these layers on it makes me uncomfortable, shorts and shades is how I like to play. Out here it is 25* on a very average day and most of the summer it was 30+ With only a light breeze. Started from scratch with my handicap and got an app that is keeping track off it so that is a measure of how I'm playing.
P.S. I think how far and straight this new driver goes might have something to do with it.

:rofl: An app ... I hadn't heard of a golf shake handicap until I came on here or for that matter a society one but an App :rofl:
Fairy tale golf, it's a hoot on here :rofl:

i was just looking at the Rory piece in last months mag, he averages 298 with 117. something MPH with the driver, so you are almost as far but with almost 10MPH slower CS. Im about 100 and with a driver and carry about 230 245, so the diff between us is best part of 50 yards for 8MPH, yes there may be differences in smash etc, but something is not right there?

We've not had a good witch hunt on here for a while have we?

as he is playing in 25-30 degree heat with firm fairways no doubt, his yardages will be very close to what he says I would think.
The chap from the Highlands is playing in thicker, colder and certainly more moist air so very understandable he would mistakenly compare like with like.
When I play abroad I take 1-2 clubs less into greens and drives are of humungasaur proportions

Last time I was there I carried the ditch, but not by more than a few yards. I hit it pretty well too. Now I know how close I am to not making it, I won't try it again!
The big guys go for the green.

Im not on a witch hunt. Simply asking a few questions.

I think Addy Stated his speeds and carry when he was still over here? i could be mistaken though.

No more than about 15 miles, as long as the traffic is good.

For comparison in this argument, my swing speed is about 118mph average with a carry distance of about 305yds.
I was 20yds longer than Quiros at the Callaway Kings of Distance Day, so plenty of people saw it for themselves
Apologies for the horrendously egotisticaly post.

About 220yds for me.
Frankly if I could drive it past Quiros I would be shouting it from the roof tops, boring everyone rigid on the story, having him as my avatar crushed under my foot etc. Enjoy that moment, I'm sure you did.
