Sounds like you need lessons.
ah you see thats where already having had lessons pays off, i knew instantly what caused it an all arms swing with not turn trying to smash a 9 irons 145 yards when a normal 8 was the club

5 over gross, left some easy shots out there. Driver is going really well which makes the course very easy.
First round of the summer knockout next week, so hopefully the form holds

24 of us just back from three very enjoyable days at Dorset Golf Resort where we had a cracking time.
Three nice loops of 9 in very good nick for a resort venue. OK, for some they're not about hold The Open here but for us (handicaps 8-21) it was ideal and great value for money.
The loops are Lakeland, Parkland & Woodland with the Woodland, albeit it quite short (Par33), very picturesque and a good test nevertheless. Can't really get the Big Dog out much here (maybe only two holes) and there are several 'quirky' Par 3s with trees to avoid halfway down the centre of each one. However the 'Rhodies' were just coming out and it looked picture-perfect. Mind you, looking for balls in said 'Rhodies' can be a bit dodgy apparently as adders are to be found in amongst them. Two of our lot claimed to have heard hissing and quickly got a new ball out of their bag BDQ instead of searching.
The Lakeland & Parkland (combine to make the main Par 72 track) and are a lot more open where bombers can bash away to their heart's content, but with once again a nice mix of holes.
The food was extremely good with perhaps the only criticism being breakfast service, where space was a bit chaotic and cramped but it's a reasonably small gripe as the food was evey bit as good as any other 3-Star hotel.
It's a great place for a group of mixed abilities, and I would suggest any society doing it on a stopover considers paying the small supplement to stop in the Lodges. These are great and offer so much more flexibility than the standard 'Premier Inn' style rooms.

Glad you liked it Johnny. Played it today in the seniors stableford, and played like a Pile Ock,!
During which I lost my Bushnell phantom which proved to be as magnetic as a chocolate teapot. Being in a competition I couldn't really go back to look for it, but I did afterwards and nearly got lost! As the phantom stayed.
I reckon I did an extra 6 holes, cos I lost it on the furthest holes😳
So, all in all, I had a memorable day😀.
The pot of tea was nice afterwards, as it always is. As you say, the clubhouse and food is always well presented and a very pleasant experience after a round of golf.
We may see you again. Next time, don't take too much notice of your satnav😉

Anotherdouble came to visit the zoo today. Spot of lunch and off into the sunshine.. Chris didn't have the best of front 9s - struggled with a hook and a cold putter. I had 16 going out.
On the 10th he woke up!!
3 over gross for the back 9 made up the ground - I had 17 points back 9
Glorious day, good company, half decent golf....what more can you ask for?

Cheers Ian, another good time at the zoo. Next time I will get you. Course in good nick and still find it incomprehensible that you have so few green keepers. Great host. Cheers buddyðŸ‘

Just played 18 and put in my first card for my handicap shot 108 semi happy with it. driving and irons weren't to bad but short game and putting needs some work!

Standing in the middle of the 15th fairway 2 over and blasted it OB. Scrambled a double. Went for a tight pin on 16 and caught the bunker by a touch. Bogie.
17 downwind par 5. Driver 3 wood chip putt. Bird.
18 driver 5 wood chip 15 foot putt for 4 over.
Gutted to blow a great score. Happy to hang in there and finish well.
Another wee snip coming. 6hcp in sight.

Played in two 4BBB open competitions today, 60 miles apart. We were pretty consistent, scoring 44 both times and 22 on each of the four nines.

B Team match this evening, lost our match on the 18th when we halved in par, but more to the point, I chipped like a GOD.
(Okay, maybe that's not strictly true but compared to my usual rubbish it was)
Overall score was a 3-3 tie

Played 9 holes in the supper club. Not a good night and have lost my swing totally. Don't seem to be turning and everything feels like an arm swing. Even dunked one 20 yards off line on the last into the pond. Need to find something before the board event at the weekeend

Whoever it was, you have got to feel sorry for him. Think I would have to leave the club.

Maybe it is time you gave the Three Goals Method a go. I know you don't agree with my approach to the game but if you need to try something different maybe its worth a go?
Why try something I don't have any interest or faith in? You keep trotting this method out but where are the tangible results over a full 18 hole course over an extended period of time to show it works?

I would love to do a study (I am still a scientist at heart and the thought of the data makes me excited!) , its a dream I probably won't get to realise. Maybe I don't have the drive or the time to do it but I have considered it. In the end the game plan just an option to try, nothing more. I can't substantiate it's effectiveness sufficiently enough to say its more than that. I only have my own experiences to go on plus the odd person who said it helped them, once or twice...
