Guess it builds the "archer not arrows" argument...but doesn't stop you fancying new shiny things 😠(as a reward maybe)
Good luck with the op.

Indeed it is most certainly the archer not the arrow. But shiny things always tempt us, shame Benross don't do a forged muscle back I'd be all over that.

Posted a seconds round score of 34 points today .
With the tough conditions it's actually in with a shout of winning the overall score.
33 34 matched the best anyone had heard so fingers crossed if was enough. Poor enough finishes both days so I will be kicking myself if beat by a shot.
Really enjoyed the golf this weekend. War of attrition stuff out there where par was a good score and move on to the next hole. Wind was crazy and firm greens and nightmare to hold downwind.
Free pint for every birdie too and managed to nab one on the 9th. Lovely touch by the sponsor.

I was on a course in Berkshire and it was a slog. I drank 2 litres of water and a lucozade intermittently and still came off feeling the effects (which really hit me yesterday). I soaked my cap after nine and while it really helped and gave some refreshing qualities it was bone dry by the 12th green. Way too hot for me. We had one guy quit after 15 with heat stroke and another with breathing problems.

I absolutely loved the European and Tralee (don't get Liverbirdie started!) and Waterville but wasn't blown away by Doonbeg.
Did you play all 20 holes at the European?
European, 7a wasn't open as green was being worked on but 12a was open(nice par 3 that one), so played 19. One extra for the green fee
Posted about them here, as didn't really find much on the courses on the forum :-

Tralee...for me best links course I have played. Liverbirdie loves it ?
European.. reminded me of RSLytham, a course that gets you thinking on every shot, brutal in the heavy wind I would imagine
Doonbeg...a lot of show, looks great but doesn't play great for a quite a number of holes and would not revisit unless someone else was paying

Planned to play nine holes. Started par, par, then lost a ball on the 12th (playing back nine) and one off the tee on 13 which is only a 178 yard par three. I know it missed the green right but thought is was just short of pin high in the semi. It was playing into the sun so didn't see it down properly but didn't think it was in trouble but it never showed itself. Knobbled it down 14 and headed up 18. My badly sunburned legs were hurting so not a bad idea. Hit a few balls on the range and worked on a change that I've been making and starting to find something.
Played a cheap £10 round courtesy of GolfNow.
Sods law after my lesson the driver wasn't so good for the first 9. Trying to hit it too hard, not quite bedded in yet.
Still. Hit 78, course par of 69 so shant complain ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Funny old day. Drove as well as I can remember, but a mixture of wayward 2nd shots and plain bad luck saw me in the sand on 6 out of the first 8 holes, 3 of those up against the lip, had to play them with one foot out of the bunker. Did well in the circumstances to get to the turn with 14 points!
Managed to avoid the sand on the back 9, and ended up with 30 which was ok considering.

Back to Ellesmere today, It was Captains charity and a shotgun so we started on 11, Of the first 9 holes played I parred 7 but had the usual double bogey as well, On the3rd hole (our 11th), having bee about 2 yds of the green in regulation I managed to take another 4 to get down so another DB, 2 holes later and after a lovely bunker shot I had about 5-6 feet to save par and 3 putted for another DB, and the following hole I took 5 from 45 yds out. I still managed a gross 85, only 3 over my handicap despite the 4 double bogeys.

Played Dainton last night. Drove well, the rest, rubbish. 29 points.
Exeter Golf & Country Club Friday. Big improvement needed.

Hit a few balls last night when I got to the club. Didn't go well and back quite sore. HID arrived and wanted to walk a few holes for some exercise so went out on the back 9. Waste of time as didn't feel it at all, played badly, got the hump and went as far as 14 and then down 18 back to the bar. Back sore today and think I might be a little golfed out

Could be that! I mean you do play golf every single day, and usually come away saying it was no good. Maybe you could actually use a week off and come back fresh with a bit of a clean slate? Excited to play again instead of weary from the previous day or two day's disappointments.

The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
Ok, now I'm officially confused.
Played just ok on Sunday at FPines, like a dog on Monday, yet went out today and played a blinder!
Started with 2 birdies, a couple of pars, a bogey and another birdie and 3 pars to finish the front 9 2 under gross and 24 points to the good...
A par on the 10th and then a bit of a wobble....treble/double halted the run...but then had 3 pars, a bogey and a birdie down the stretch....
41 points or 3 over gross in real money....
Don't ask me where that came from coz I've got no idea....
When I got out of position I was able to get back in position and, apart from the wobble I was sinking putts from 10-15 feet for fun.
Went OB on the 11th and had a couple of horrid lies with the 2nd ball, much the same on the 12th but without going OB.
Let's hope that kind of form sticks around...

Havnt seen any vlogs from you in a while. Could it be your course management needs looked at. If you have your short game on point you should be able to play smart golf and make some better scores. I'd like to see where you are going wrong.

Agreed, what is it exactly that is going wrong?
Is it fats/thins, left/right?
What part of the swing are you working on? Are you changing anything or just repeating the same swing hoping for the best?
I remember recently you talked about ditching lessons and trying to get a more natural swing, maybe a few faults have developed again and a lesson could help iron them out.
I have found this year that I am heading out on the course and not really thinking about what I am doing. Dropping another ball to try again etc. Now I am trying to structure my practice a lot more.
Working on one or two things and then heading out to play 1 or 2 holes.
I then try and play the 9 hole comp on a Thursday. It is slightly working for me. I say slightly as I havent had a decent cut yet but my swing feels a lot better and more confident. On Saturday i was 3 over across 15 holes and 8 over through the remaining 3 so I feel there is a score on the horizon for me.

Nothing mo
Nothing more than too much golf and hitting balls trying to keep the game ticking over. Think because I had a week away while Royal Ascot was on, I came back and have simply over done it in terms of playing a few holes every night and some full games and then playing weekends as well. Add in sessions hitting balls and then playing a few holes and I'm simply over golfed. Busy at work too and think that hasn't helped tempo and thinking.

I'm not really on about this last 2 weeks. From reading your round reports on here it doesn't seem like there is too many good rounds. Be that bounce games or practice.
I'd just like to see what's going on. I've seen you say you have the odd poor hole here and there but so does everyone else. Off 13 you are allowed some poor holes and you can still smash in a great score or at least hit buffer more often.
