Genuinely struck driver so well that it filled me with joy. God I hope it continues. Ripped the 3 woods on the last two holes with that grip as well, it just feels like much more of a solid strike, so I guess it stops me opening the face and swiping across it as much.
Well done matey. Glad you have the driver working after all your hard workHad no work to do this afternoon so snuck out for a quick nine holes at 4 - played the back nine as there was not a soul out there, got round in one hour five mins.
Started with three bogeys, then four pars in a row - unfortunately blotted the card with a double on our 17th (found a bunker with my approach from a ball-below-feet lie - ironically I dropped a second ball and stiffed it to four feet), but finished by sinking a six footer for par on the 18th. Five over and 20 points. Why is golf so much easier when you fly round on your own with no warm up whatsoever??
I'm absolutely loving the grip change I've made for driving - all I did was make my right hand about 1 or 2mm stronger - so the right thumb sits directly on top of the grip pointing straight down it. I hit every single fairway. Four out of four with driver and the last two with 3 wood as well. Unbelievable. There was not a breath of wind of course, but we won't talk about that.
Well until the weekend at leastYup, that'll be it working perfectly for the rest of the year now.
Love those afternoons.
Good shooting sir. The atmosphere on the 1st and 18th is definitely unique and to make birdie at the last is a lifelong memory
, had a superb day and I didn't trouble the card, 4bbb, until the 6th or 7th hole. To be fair, it was a cheeky 4 pointer on the SI1, but heck who's counting 
.
. I didn't think I played too badly overall but being beaten by Goswick is no disgrace. We actually dovetailed pretty well overall and came in with a highly creditable 43 points off the white tees. As mentioned, my pp took most of the credit for this but I chipped in a few times when he was taking a breather.
Cracking day spent with @PaulMdj at Goswick today. Never played there before, what a pleasure. A proper course, a proper links course. In superb condition, firm fairways, fast greens. Very chilly, enough of a breeze to know it was there, not enough to really damage the day.
My pp, as above
Had I played a solo round I suspect my card would have been a bit disappointing but this was pairs so it's easier to forget bad holes
Very enjoyable day, definitely looking forward to going back there to play in their October open.
Newport today in lovely weather. Playing reasonably at the mo, but still have the odd awful drive in the locker!
Few days at Saunton tomorrow, might play Ilfracombe or Minehead on Sunday on the way back before the rain arrives.
