Evening all,
I'm only 2.5 years into my quest to become a competent golfer and after a lot of frustrating rounds this season and having the handicap creep back up this year the few changes that I have made seem to be paying off over the last 6 or 7 rounds.....
I think that most on here can relate in the way that even when you have that feeling you are going to play well, you don't. It can turn a person off the game for a long time.
There has been a lot of heartache with lost balls,fats,thins,duffs,slices,hooks......You name it and this season i think that iv pretty much covered the situation in one for or another up to lately....
My last few rounds I have hit the ball better than I did all year.
My Ping i15 driver doesn't know what a slice is (thank god)....Everythings long and straight.
I won a society event last weekend as a guest with 35 points...For my troubles the prize was a fourball at a very nice local course....
The 4 rounds previous to that were inside my buffer comfortably....
And today i play my own course for the 1st time in 6 weeks and i come in with 42 points off 18 (17.5 exact) for a gross score of 84 and a nett 66.
After a shaky bogie start it went Par, Par, Bogie, Par, Bogie, Bogie, Bogie, Double.
On the back 9 it went Bogie, Triple, where i had an inner meeting with myself and parred my way home from 12 through 18.....
10 pars....Its a shame the odd tweetie didn't pop up.
....Happy is an understatement....
I have the belief that i can get better and will but i think that things are clicking for me a little late in the season.
Still im happy out with things...
A change to my putting grip..
And a change to my main full swing grip coupled with a slight posture change seem to be doing the trick.
