Oddsocks
Ryder Cup Winner
At the weekend we had our annual lads trip and this year was the belfry, Saturday we upgraded from the derby and played the PGA course in some quite strong gusty winds and i come in with a medioka 26 points. It wasn't a case of a bad game, just seemed one of the days where i couldn't score. Ball striking was good, direction was good, but little mistakes hindered a possibly good card.
Not happy with the score on the card i was out for revenge on sunday on the brabazon and with near on no wind i thought a score would have been a bit easier, yes i know that the brabazon should be a harder course(which in my opinion it isn't) but my driving on saturday was good, and most of my bad scores come from miss judged winds. anyway.....
sunday, i still cant find words to describe what was a poor attempt at our sport, the swing left town, in fact flew out on a plane never to be seen again, the golf was that poor i walked 4 holes in total disbelief that my game had vanished and that fact that such a poor swing had locked my back completely, all my old swing faults arrived on the same express train, and my swing was that bad it left me in alot of lower back pain,
Quick, no tempo, all hip slide and no body turn with a very armsy swing resulted in 15 points from 14 holes. On reflection walking back to the car i had the thought that i'd had enough of this game.
Why is it for the last 3 weeks ive been constantly shooting to h/c give or take a point around all of my locals off the whites, one of which id played off 10hc in a group game, in 2 midweek lessons i was ripping everything you put in my hands, even blades which i havent hit in years, yet come saturday/sunday when its on a great course all the work from september last year has gone...
Seriously struggling to find any sort of motivation to pull the club out the car and hit a ball, so far i've cancelled tonight's playing lesson, cancelled sundays medal, oh and ive had to send a 52* off for a re-shaft due to a total explosion..... not good.
