I had a lesson this morning, putting some work in towards turning my game around next year.

Trackman session working on better clubface control. I'm getting into a good position at the top of the backswing and the downswing path is very, very consistant on a slight in to out path but I am inconsistant in controlling the clubface angle at impact.

Good shots are very good but I have a tendancy to miss to the left through closing the face at impact. Progress is slow but definately heading in the right direction...

Putting already showing signs of improvement following recent SAM lab session.

Played 13 holes today and was much better than a of my recent golf.

Trying to strengthen up my left hand grip again. Feels so different and hard to do but the results are so much better. Not losing the ball to the right like I have and hitting it more solid.

It's funny how you can go from one extreme to the next in this game. Years ago I was told to strengthen my grip. Managed it and then some. Got the stage I was duck hooking every club in the bag. This last while it's gone super weak so it's a climb back to the middle ground.

I really enjoyed the course and far better than some rate - glad you boys had a good day out 🏌🏿‍♂️

Cheers pal. Was a great few days. I can't help but love playing golf on the coast 👍

Still having nightmares about those white trousers.

It was a lovely autumn day today so I made the most of it and got 18 in before the forecasted bad weather arrives tomorrow.

Just got back from a few days in Liverpool.

First day at Wallasey I made the fatal mistake of parring the first. Managed to get to 32 points, which for me is a good score on links. Cracking course, with possibly the tamest fox I’ve ever seen. Highlight of the day though was sitting snuggly in the clubhouse watching a Birch’s ball be stolen by a bird!

Today I’m not even sure how I managed to make it to the course, via a slight diversion......
The scouse hospitality Saturday saw me wake with quite the headache.

Royal Liverpool is a superb course, stood on the first I wasn’t sure I’d make it round tbh. It’s somewhat flatter nature certainly help me today. We were told a fair few bunkers were gur, unfortunately the only one I found on the 18th was in play.... got up and down for a 5. And the final 2 points of my 40. 😃😃

What a difference in 2 days. Played yesterday - 39 points (7 over gross) still not enough to win as quite a few were playing well. Difference in part being totally dry, nearly windless and greens close to summer speed.

Sad bit of the day was losing one of the 2019 Prov1s, playing directly in to the sun and nobody could see where it went after hitting a tree.

Last round today before heading back to work, very mixed, never used driver once today but the 3 wood was excellent, irons and putting were temperamental.
Will need to do a bit of work during the winter to try and get handicap down next year.
Have got a lesson sorted but am going to get one every time I get home to try and ingrain a repeatable swing.

At Lymm and got drownt!!!

 

[Hobbit]

Sneaky win. 38pts off 6, including 2 lost balls. And definitely another shorts day at Valle Del Este.

Had a lesson with my coach on Monday, ended up with hip displacia trying to get my right hip high and back, took yesterday off, played 9 today and hit it the best all year.

Played well this morning, 35 points (with2 blobs ). 5 pars and a birdie.

Imurg was suffering from Manthrax so capitulated at 28 points,
We were almost level after 11 but this time did ok on the back 9.

Best I’ve played at the zoo methinks 👍

Even Cardiff have won once this year

Three of us played yesterday in very windy conditions.
The wind was gusting all over the place and was very unpredictable.
We played a scramble, each taking at least five drives, and with handicaps of 12, 13 and 18 we went round in 1 over par with a very disappointing bogey on the last!
I've no idea whether that's any good but we had a right old laugh.

Is the correct answer....
Fragger is that Blind Squirrel!

The other week he said "I don't get many pars"......
5 and a birdie today - not bad for a 22er....
I just wish he could play like that more often - no, really...I do...

Played Royal Liverpool today in a 4ball that a mate won in an auction. Had a bad back for the last few weeks but after visits to a chiropractor and a sports physio it seemed to be getting better. Woke up this morning and it was playing up again so the day didn't start well.

Winds were forecast for 20+ mph but seemed to be only half that for most of the time so that was a bonus. Right from the off it was painful for every shot except for putting but picking the ball out the hole wasn't easy. Struggled to 23 points and didn't even manage one par but was just glad to get all the way round.

As you would expect, the greens were in fantastic condition with the fringes and run off areas slicker than a lot of courses. The only slight downside was that on a number of holes you had to play off mats on the fairways as they are protecting the course for next years Walker Cup. Luckily that didn't affect me.

Well done. However let's not make it a one week wonder. Lets see you play with far more consistency and then get your handicap down in 2019 (and no hospital visits please)

I wasn't helped by my "spotters" on the 10th.
Straight into the sun - neither of the old codgers saw it...
Good job I saw theirs........just sayin'..

Do those white sticks count as an extra club

2nd match in the Winter League and a 1 up win, 3 up at the turn, opponents par’d 7 of back 9, but held on in to get the victory.
