I don't understand this game. As mentioned previously I recently changed pro and on the range it is going well. Did also play a good back 9 a couple of weeks ago. Then last Tuesday playing a virtual 9 on the toptracer range and I am shooting like Rory. I usually score about a +11 to +16 for a virtual 9, came of the range with a +4, driving 200 yard regularly, ... . I am hitting what I want to hit.
Another lesson yesterday, he asks me what I want to do, I say let's do some woods please because irons are great and I need to get the ball into play. We start with irons anyway and nothing goes. I top balls, I hit air, I bottom out before the ball, I duff, I hook, ... . So woods are out of the window, let's get the iron back where it should be. At the end of the lesson I am just behind where I was after the 1st lesson, but with stuff to work on because my 'swing looks good'.
Today I go to the range to work on some of it, warm up a little with some chip shots and suddenly up to the 7 iron am on fire again. 5 is a bit iffy, didn't actually hit any 6. Virtual golf went ok for 9 holes but the woods are still dead so it's harder to score. The virtual put 50 yard shot I got so good at the end got really good, started with SW but soon just hit a full 60 into it like I couldn't miss anything.
Having a comp on Saturday, could be anything between 99 and 130 on the scoreboard, I think.

Muirfield today. Weather was tough. Wind and rain for many of the holes. Fantastic layout. Despite the recent weather the course was in brilliant nick. Thanks to @Liverbirdie for sorting it out.
Did you stay on your own fairway at all?

Another poor front 9. 10 blooming points. didn’t help being stuck being behind an Essex pro comp?? Who were Playing off the yellows?? Almost 2 1/2 hours for the first 9. 90 minutes and 17 points later on the back 9 made up for it somewhat.
starting to think that Dunes is my fav 9, but I’m play8jg that looks first tomorrow, so could change my mind again!
Almost all the small puddles gone completely and still getting used to running the ball more than pitching atm. But im sure it’ll come together over 18 soon.

Quite a bit actually. I won today. That’s how bad the others were

Glad you got the links experience, makes it more authentic I suppose.
Would you rank it as high as many have it ?

I also enjoyed Muirfield very much, good to play with @Liverbirdie for the first time after so many meets and thanks for sorting. It was my first round of 2020 and the weather was not at all kind but I was glad to find my lack of play has only improved my golf.
I thought the course was superb and really enjoyed the whole venue - the staff and the history in the clubhouse cannot be praised enough. As a whole package it has to be in the top five for me and in most ways it excels the four I'd place above it. No doubt there are "better" courses out there but few that have that class.
Loved it. Mind, it's likely I would hate it if the rough was up in the height of growing season. Maybe I'll find out whenever I get a next time.

Did 9 this morning and ended up par, bogey, par, par, bogey, par, par, bogey, birde, par. So happy as it all seemed to come together - doing a roll up on saturday and I'll watch that go west

Another breezy day on the Chalk...
Another extremely average 30 points but I got let down by my chipping.
Couldn't get anything close so lost several shots to that.
Hit the ball ok including, possibly, the longest drive I've hit in a while - 295 yards.
Ok, it was wind assisted but....put the 2nd in the greenside bunker but got up and down for a sandy birdie.
Enjoying the challenge.

A better 18 today. A stone cold putter meant it was only 32 points, but after one little tweak (grip) I seemed much more consistent than the last few rounds.
Trousers n t shirt weather with shoes as clean when I finished as they were when I started. Bonus.

Yes, I think the course is superb.

Glad it's working out. Are you gradually learning where to put it ?
I hope that at his age he knows where to put it by now! ?

More important to know where NOT to put it .. avoid trouble as much as possible ?

Been there, done that...playing golf now.
Still finding out the best way to play some holes.
Some are obvious but others need a bit of thinking about and being able to hit longer than Fragger or CVG I can get over ridges and onto down slopes
But that can put me in 1/2 or 2/3 or 3/4 shot range rather than a full one. And into the wind doesn't help.
And some of the slopes are mad. A shot up the right side can slide all the way into the trees on the left....need to cultivate a cut shot..
