Hows everyone playing before the big match?

You want to be playing me at the minute. Lost my swing, starting to over think things, short game is all over the shop, driving is as bad as its been for years, putting is a mixture of the good the bad and the ugly.... Not Good!











(Vig- think I've thrown him off the scent ;))
 
Has been utter turd but today was great after a wee tip after 7 holes saw me come back in 22pts for 37.

Be back to jobbie again come Saturday no doubt when I forget what the tip was. :rolleyes:
 
If I could I would have walked in on Sunday, but I am blaming that on having the flu and thinking I was over it. Should be back to my shanking best though come next week :rolleyes:

I do hope someone hasn't been giving you advice on the course.. That's cheating don't you know. :D :D
 
Most of my game is coming back. My driving is awful.

Seen why though on my new shiney camera. I'm bending my left arm at the top. Looks ugly!
 
Have had the best three weeks of ball striking ever. Really hitting it well. Putting great, chipping pretty well, driving is a bit pants but ok.

Went to the range last night to check it was all still there. No. Shanked about 30 balls, and then if I stood further away from it I hooked everything way left.

Still, got a while to re find it. I'll have a look in some of the pockets of my bag, see if I can find where I left it.
 
I played at Kinross on Saturday. First game in a month. Failed miserably to get a simple par on the 9th for "out in 38" and went into a depression. Threw my driver a good 100 yards on the 15th. Say no more.

:D
 
In terms of the other bit match at the Forest of Arden, how are those of you going along to that one fairing. I'm in and out, more out than in at the moment but having a lesson on Sunday and hoping to get any changes bedded in next week. Try it out on the course next weekend and then hit the motorway towards the Forest of Arden

It's the pressure of being The Captain John ;)

Or the simple gulf between ability and reality, Dave.

Example. On one of the par 5s I pulled my drive a bit to about 215yards to the green. Steep side hill lie in the light rough, mud on the ball, tall tree in the middle of the fairway I had to get over ...and a pond just in front of the green. Pulled out a 5 wood to try to get on in two!!! AAAArrrrggggggg!!! Wedge, wedge would have saved me 3 shots.

I'll learn some day.

:D :D :D
 
getting it away - mostly - but Mick Jagger should have my lips. If I get in and out of one more hole there's gonna be some greenskeepers lynched (well it can't be me, can it?)
 
Played last Friday in a society day and finished joint 1st with 39 points.
Played Saturday in a 4bbb and finished with 39 points.
Striking the ball as well as I ever have, putting better than I ever have (helped by something called a V-easy :))
Wont be playing again till next Friday now so no doubt, will forget how to play and make a prat of myself :( :( :( :rolleyes: ;)

Not been out too much lately between work and the weather but going to make a big effort this week to get a few 9 holes in. Can't wait to see what the course is like, hope we get nice weather so we can enjoy the day even if the golf doesn't go to plan
