Are you sure it’s set to yards and not meters?
I can guarantee it won’t be out by more than +/- 2 yards. It takes a little getting used too hitting your target.

Play the Oxfordshire in our annual winter outing - course wet in the rough between tees and greens - came second in the team but had a nice 1 under round

Try this. Aim in general area of the flag but intentionally hit the trees behind. As soon as you see that yardage ping the flag next.
This should take you about 3 seconds once you get a bit of practice.

Had a cracking round with @Jimaroid this morning on the 14th best course in St Andrews.
@Captainron was supposed to be joining us but the big piece of ? decided to bail as he looked at the wrong weather forecast ?
Teed off at 9am on The rather dark Old course, made birdie for the 1st time so that was a bonus, made a boat load of pars on the front 9 then steak pie at the half way but put me back a bit, course was in tremendous condition for the time of year, greens were very very good. Yes we played off mats but I really didn’t spoil it one bit.
Highlights for me.
17th hole hitting peach over the corner of the hotel, thinking I was a bit tight but not as tight as Jim was as he hit a balcony on the old course hotel, if I could stick a picture on here we found his ball still stuck on the room of the conservatory on the hotel ?
Should have had a birdie on the last as well but I hit the most pathetic 6ft putt ever.
Great day out, thanks Jim ?

Played small Soc meeting at Cotswold Edge today. Didn't hole a thing all day, had 35 points and won by a shot!
Funny course... very unpretentious, inexpensive, has some super holes and on a clear day, great views. We were well looked after too, very pleasant. Hardly gets a mention, good Soc venue off the M5, cheap as chips. Might have to go back in the summer for a proper look!

Exactly. Mine is a cheaper one, but all you do is hold the button down and keep your hand as steady as possible while looking at the pin, then it buzzes and gives you the yardage within about 2 seconds. 8/10 times it's right first time, the other 2 times I might have to redo it, but as I say mine is only a cheap one.

Thanks for all the tips - will check instructions though (random irritation coming) like a lot of tech these days it was provided with no instructions for use whatsoever - gotta go on-line. Anyway - off shortly for our roll-up and I’ll try out some of the tips given - and yes my first thought was that it was metres not yards - so 10% out - but no - was showing yards.
If nothing else it should help calibrate my club yardages...

Played yesterday after the Boxing Day round was washed out.
Dad has recently joined Ashley Wood in Dorset. Course was impressively dry all things considered. Slow slow greens though. He done be by a point. But the real match (scratch) was won by me.
Good start at only 5 over for the front nine. Crawled over the line with an 84 (+14). Now ticked up in bed with the symptoms of the missus flu she’s had for the last fortnight.

Had my best round on the Hotchkin yesterday, even though I messed up on 11, 13 & 17.
21 points on the front but only 15 on the back and lost my Matchplay, but other than 3 silly moments of madness, I felt pretty solid.
3rd time the 910 has been out and was finding fairways for fun, bagging pars and just missing out on some birdies, couple that with a new putting style where I was draining single putts from 12ft and in quite comfortably, I was very pleased overall.
I’m just losing a little concentration and rhythm on the back end of the middle third, which is usually where I’m finding us constantly catching up with play and waiting and simply not getting going again, rushing a little as other groups join us on the tee and then taking a couple of poor holes to get back into a rhythm and then usually finish quite strong, as I like the run in from 14.
Still learning more about the course each visit, and at last I conquered the 9th which has been my Achilles heel but I just missed out on a great birdie opportunity.
Hopefully I’ll build on this form tomorrow & Monday.

Played for the first time in 3 weeks on a boggy home course. Driver behaved well, but the rest was just ?
Nice to be out again though and weather forecast actually looks fairly decent for the next couple of days so hopefully it’ll dry out a bit.

Following my best ever round last Saturday (66), I went out and shot my second best (67). Made up with that and hoping that score comes close (43 points off 4).

First out at St Daves and round in 2hr 45mins, lovely millionaires golf, makes getting up at 5.30am worthwhile
Hit 2 GIR, but chipped and putted well(9 pars, 1 birdie). Almost chipped in on 16th and on 17th and finished with a birdie on 18th.
Cant beat golf, looking forward to the next game.

4 club challenge today. Driver, 5w, 7i & 52 degree wedge. Using 5w as a putter went round with 37pts! I suspect I’ll do worse in Monday’s comp with a full set.

Had a friendly round today on the home course. Felt like I played really well, hitting driver well for the most part, hit hybrids pretty well, short game and putting were mostly good bar one or two holes. Shot 84 for 36 points - exactly the same as I did 5 days ago on the Monday, only this time was off whites rather than yellows so possible slight improvement.
