I had a six year break, 1982 to 1988, when the kids were little, didn't play at all. I was off 8 when I stopped. When I came back I put three cards in & they gave me a 12 handicap. Since then I've never got below 10. Well, this year I've made a great effort and have done a lot of self analysis with the help of Jim Hardy's "Plane Truth". I have, due to short legs & long arms, a flat, Matt Kucharesque, swing. I'm now swinging it like Miguel Angel and the results are surprising. Yesterday I shot my third successive competition round below CSS and got reduced to 9.2. I missed only two fairways, one by a foot, holed practically nothing and shot a net 68 against a CSS of 70.
Miguel is renowned for being straight and there's something, don't know what, about swinging like this which gets the ball going direct to the target,arrow straight without a hint of hook or slice. Not so good on the short game which, frankly, wasn't too good but this needs practice.
To sign off, here's a picture of my favourite athlete which I took at Muirfield last year.
