Better. Just but better. Hit a few balls and got out for nine holes. Still way down on distance and struggling to take my lesson on the course but not as abject as Sunday. One conclusion though, we need some serious rain. Very hard and fiery and a couple of the fairways that suffered a couple of summers back are starting to look a little dry and short of grass

Am starting to seriously worry about when the wheels finally come off!

Duff on the first, lost ball on the 10th, yet round in 80 for easily my best round in a long time (EVER)!

Top man. Don;t worry about the wheels coming off, just keep doing whatever it is you're doing and long may it last

Can I be on your team tomorrow?

Out again after yesterday’s good round, but didn’t start so well with a 7 on the second. Improved to be net 7-under on the 17th tee, before finishing 8, 9!! Just need to cut out those two or three poor holes each round.

Eagle 2 for me today... if ever there is a time to get involved it’s this surely?

ive told my wife about it but needed to share with people who actually care....

well maybe not care but can appreciate it at least.

Did the wife respond "why didn't you just do it in one?" ?

Won my last matchplay comp last night to go 1 point ahead on the Mini-league leaderboard. The previous leader who has led throughout has 1 match to play, so I'm reliant on the result of that match to know if I've swooped in at the last minute to win, or if that match is halved, I may have to play again in a play-off!

I was 1-down after the 7th, we had pretty much seesawed every hole up to that point, but back to back pars on 8 & 9 were good enough to win 1-up.

Top effort. Just a shame its out of your hands.

Lesson today, just 30 minute in the short game area. Turns out I never use enough loft, and that is because I don't have or lost the confidence. Played a few different lies as well as different positions on the green and all worked out fairly well. After 30 minutes and about half a bucket of balls we looked at it and EVERY single ball was on the green. I haven't overshot it once, like I usually do on the course.

Next it is turning the opportunities into scores.

Unfortunately my uncles ill (not rona) so didn't play a full 18 hole course as planned. So played the 12 hole short course on my own again.

Veerry wiiindy. Which meant I shot higher than I have the last few times, just not used to adjusting for it yet.

However, as stated on another thread. I tried out my new (to me) ping g crossover 3 iron and, well, wow... What a weapon.

I think I'll go to bed dreaming of the ball flight on that thing. Just cut through the wind and kept bounding on and on, maybe only 20 yards less than driver really but without the tendency to get held up or carried one way or the other.

2 days of golf after 4 hours sleep + wind + playing off the whites = I was right!

It does make a huge difference. I think a lot of my well documented short game woes come from a lack of confidence, fed by too many fats and thins, which in turn leads to even less confidence. I stumbled across something in lockdown which has been really working - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPoXNLiueERIU7pIBQNOZcm90B-p4M0ss I chipped and got out of bunkers really well at the weekend and its fed my desire to keep working on the short game especially my pitching which I feel is more under control again. I hope you have turned a corner too

Once the clubhouse is open I’m sure the more social part will come in, but if you can’t mock someone for 20 minutes over a pint, I’m not sure a few quid really adds anything.
