Tough pal. Hard when you can't see a change in fortunes. Is it the same problem? Maybe a lesson?

Haha, no worries. The problem is mostly between my ears which makes me stiff like a robot over the ball, causing me all sorts of issues. But I think I can see some sort of light as I see myself not taking it too seriously.

I hit some great shots today as well, but theyre in vast minority at the moment. Just need for them to grow in Numbers and I’ll be on the right track again. :)
 
Nairn Dunbar stableford cancelled this morning so we did a team Russian. team won with 302 points we were a good 40 points behind that. hit the ball nicely, trialed Tour soft, which i wasn't convinced by but was with the ball i use for hickory;Callaway Super Soft. Ball really flew and hit some big drives, even past a few of my usual crowed who usually hit it much further than me. 3 birdies on the bounce on the first three holes.... only downside was 12th hit a nice drive only had 30 yard chip, shermaned it , dropped another did the same... both almost in the sewage works:ROFLMAO:.

plus side a lovely day and a great craic
 
Bit of fun this weeks as we had our annual England vs Rest match.

We won our 4BBB match 3up I played a bit indifferent but we Ham & Egged it all the way round as a pair. Loving my new 3 wood so easy to hit it shouldn’t be legal.

Nice to play with a couple of new faces, and a pleasure to let them buy lunch following a rare England victory.
 
2 man Texas Scramble comp today, 25% combined handicap, 7 drives each(1 must be a Par3) gross 75 for a nett 68.
Bit different, but good fun.
Nett 60 leading in clubhouse. :eek:
 
Played in a 4 player Texas Scramble today over 14 holes.
Playing 1, 3 and 4 Cypress Point "Long-Flite" polymer woods (glad I chose these as we had a very heavy shower at the start and the course was very wet), Slazenger Ben Hogan Plus 1s, 2 to Equalizer, a Slazenger Gary Player sand wedge and a John Letters flanged blade putter (bottom in the picture below).

I wasn't expecting a great score as our team included two ladies which can make it hard to reach the longer par 4s in two (club rules are that whoever's shot is selected the same player can't play the next shot) and one of the women was 82! Not to mention the other man who is around 70.

But we played really well as a team and the 82 year old hit some great shots, with excellent distance. We had 12 bogeys, 1 par and a birdie for a level gross less our handicap of 4 which gave us a 4 under total, respectable but nothing to shout about or so I thought, but how wrong can you be, we won!
Only 14 teams but a win's a win.

My shot of the day was to the par 3 10th, 140 yards with a bunker to carry, I hit a nice 7 iron with a touch of draw to 6 feet and one of the ladies holed for birdie.


Think I'll keep the same bag for tomorrow's Winter League 4BBB match. :)

Saturday roll up. Didn't play too badly for 32 points but my fourball took the team prize. The swing change is filtering through especially given the lack of range work I've done but some old technique refusing to go. My golfing brain and thinking so much better though and plotting my way to a score even when it's off a tad. Very happy. Captains drive in tomorrow and a team even and I'm with the outgoing captain so best behaviour
 
really wanted the ground to open and save me, decent front nine but absolute garbage on the back 9,

normally wouldn't bother me but today was an aggregate pairs and my partner made 42 points, and I think we'll be bottom half of the table once the scores are counted
 
Not the greatest weather today, heavy showers and got very dark at a couple of points, but off yellows managed to knock it round in gross 4 over front 9 and 1 over back for 39pts and a roll-up win - first in a few years. Sees my roll-up h/cap cut 1.6 to 6.4. Oh well. That'll make a challenge for 36pts until the clocks go forward (our r-u handicap come down but don't go up). Pleasing.
 
Played the bann course at castlerock for the first time. Short but tough little 9 hole set in the dunes beside the main course.

Didnt play that well but enjoyed the layout. Enjoyable par 3s and the second is a tough par 4.
