Maybe it's just a mental thing.
How about confronting them head on, call them shanks and 'own' the problem ........... show them who's boss?
P.S. Easy for me to say as I've never suffered.

Going well until the turn then threw in a 10, actually only allowed to put 9 !!!!! What could go wrong did. Horrible hole. Wife was going amazingly well. 5 under gross for 7 holes then.....poof 8 and 10 appeared. We both got back on course after that but the damage was done.
me net 74
wife net 72
Did a new putting thing after watching something on TV. A Nick Faldo painting thing. Worked VERY WELL ! Will give this a go again.

We do, normally, have a 2 tee start and we often start on the 10th...trouble is I almost always bogey that one....
Seniors Open yesterday in very wet conditions with the rain not taking a breather from start to finish.
Playing well and on the 11th fairway the klaxon went and play was suspended.
After 45 minutes we were back out, but it was difficult to get going again, hence a didn’t score on 14, even after a decent drive.
Finished with 36 points though, so got to look at the positives.
It was difficult to putt consistently due to the constant rain, but I’ll take that score, especially off the yellows which is more difficult with the 1st & 10th becoming par 4’s.

Shot my best ever round today, shooting a 75 (par 70) at my home track. I’ve shot probably close to 10 76s before, so it was nice to finally break that one. On to even lower scores now I hope!
And when I got home my new magic wands had arrived from Mizuno. What a day!

I am able to call them that these days - but I am aware that for others the word is an anathema - as it was for me for a long time

Wilson Staff D350. Club heads big as shovels and the lofts are strong, very strong.
New ones are Mizuno JPX 919 Tour, so guess I couldn’t get a new set that was further apart from the old set.
Let’s hope I can make the switch! ?

My last couple of rounds have been pretty rubbish, putting it down to the bad weather this week! Best thing to come out of today’s round was that my feet were dry, meaning my new adidas code chaos shoes are waterproof as advertised!
36 points in 2hrs 10 mins.
Gotta love a forecast for rain keeping the course(s) clear.
Finally par'd the 8th on Himalayas. Just the 6th in Shore and 5th in Dunes and then I can start working on the birdie list.

Invited to play at Fulford today.
Lovely track, with some tight driving holes.
Long clubs need to be on point to score well for sure. Greens where pure and the perfect pace.

First individual competition of the year today. Played steady, which is an improvement over the last few rounds, and finished with 37 pts. Annoyingly, blobbed the last or may have got a cut.

I was very lucky and missed the rain today, shorts and polo shirt were order of the day.
Long game was average ........................ very average.
Tried a new chipping method and only duffed one.
Putting was absolute garbage.
A priceless pint after the game with my mates on the clubhouse patio.

Out for a hit on my own, between two three balls so took about two and a half hours, forecast was for pouring rain but it didn’t arrive. Got back to slowing down my backswing when hitting irons over last couple of rounds with much better results. Had a bit of waiting at times so got to practice some bunker shots, not quite at the stage of trying to hole them but decent stuff.
Where I’m struggling at the moment is on the greens, last night I had seven three putts and a four putt, tonight was much better but still not great - having said that I holed two good length (20-25 foot) putts for birdies but they were very much the exception.
About the only stat I take note of is birdies - those tonight took my total since restart of golf to 13 - I’ve birdied eight of the holes in that period.
Forecast for tomorrow is rain again, not sure if I’ll chance it as playing on Saturday.

Played on Tuesday at WP with my youngest again and managed a win. His putting let him down and a couple of wild drives but his 4 iron shots are a thing of beauty.
One thing - par 3 15th was approx 150 to the central flag and he has been hitting 8 iron but always to the back. This time, he decided 9i - and then hit a beautiful shot that cleared the green and 15 yards of rough and a path and just missed a tree - Probably 170 - we looked at each other in amazement.
I managed 36 points at E on the Wednesday and reached two holes in 2 that I have never achieved it but none were as good as that 9i.

Played in my clubs singles knockout, lost 4&3 which was very frustrating given that i thought i played quite well. I was giving by opponent 8 shots (22HCP).
He played his shot holes very well, 3 pars and 3 bogey's.
Oh well

Last weekends trip that finished today
The Old Course twice just to make sure it’s not a good as they make out on here ?
Dumbarnie Links twice just to make sure it was a great course and I can confirm it’s superb ?
added in one round at the dukes course and Finished today at St Michaels course that was in excellent condition and the greens were very good. £20 is an absolute bargain and highly recommended.
If only I could actually play golf and not chop it round.
