The recent trials and tribulations of a 24h/c player 
After a good start to the season the last two months have seen some pretty awful golf were I didn’t have a clue where the ball was going,
but I have kept in there trying to make minor changes to try and find the solution.
The weekend before last I was in Devon for 4 days in our society’s summer tournament and finally I started to play something resembling golf
So a Tuesday night round on my own and a change in tactics. I have decided not to hit anything higher than a 4i and I’m not going to hit two balls of the tee or take two chip shots into the green, I’m going to play it like a normal stableford game. Well 18 holes later I walk of the final green (with an up & down) with 40 points, on our SI 1 10th hole where some guys were walking around with some guns (shooting rabbits) must say I didn’t feel right as I knocked my first drive just OOB and the second one in some trees that I had to hack my way out off. 
4i off the tee? What a good idea, I can hit this 200+/- which sets me up beautifully to play each of the holes I used the 4i on. My slower swing didn’t see any noticeable differences in my distances with my other irons. As for my putting, I am a reasonable putter but over the last 8 months I think I have over complicated things in trying to see things that probably aren’t there, so it was a return to my old, quick look and bang it mode, resulting in my best putting statistic in 12 months.
I know it’s only one round but I feel that I have turned the corner, and can again go out there with some kind of confidence.
