My drivings gone to pot

[Perry]

For months and months its been the best part of my game. Longish and very straight.

Joined a new club last week, played 3 rounds, driving has been a SHAMBLES!!!! Left, right and straight down the middle.....all over the place

Never lost so many balls in my puff!

Do what I do, always drag it left off the tee, after a few rounds you know where to look. We are always told the importance of learning your yardages!

If you are on a new course chances are you are simply trying too hard. Relax and swing within yourself

Last couple of months I've done the same, but the last few rounds have been a lot better. I noticed I had been over turning and trying to knock the daylights out of it. Went back to a 3/4 smooth swing and most are straight ish or slight fade.

 

[Perry]

I think you're probably right, a combination of trying too hard and trying to hit the ball too hard!!

I'll keep plugging away and see what happens!!

I know how you feel Perry! What course have you joined?

 

[Perry]

Torrance Park in Newarthill, just down the road from the Newhouse hotel. Decent enough course, greens are superb, only £340 for full membership. No clubhouse yet, work starts in September I believe. Have you played it?

 

[Perry]

Well I decided to take a few days away from the course and come back refreshed and with a clear head!!!!
Only managed 11 holes last night before it got a bit too dark, managed 6 pars, 2 bogeys and 3 howlers which is a vast improvement on last weeks efforts when I couldn't even hit the ball straight . Still a bit to go but confidence lifted after parring the first 3 holes.
Definately think the few days off helped as I had been up the course every night just playing 8 or 9 holes, I think I scunnered myself.

Anyway......Onwards and Upwards!!

Not played it yet, will do at some point though, only 10 mins up the road from me. I have heard it has a good layout.

Its a decent course for the money. Some of the fairways could do with a bit of TLC but as its only been open properly for a few years its not too bad. Very flat and some nice holes, greens are quite well protected as well which makes it tricky. Worth a go!

Don't know why but there website is really poor and they are not marketing it very well. Was only £10 per round up to mid March, if i had known that I'd have been up every week. Still it makes getting a teetime a lot easier!!!

I wish my driving was ever good enough to go to pot!

Mine was wayward for years until I had a fitting for a driver recently and found that I needed a stiffer shaft. Keeps me on the fairways now
