Struggling with my 4 Hybrid

Anyway.
Getting back to the original question.....
Mark, a thin is when the club approaches the ball from a shallow angle of attack and hits the ball half way up causing the ball to travel about 4 ft off the ground with no divot.
Is this what you're doing?
If so, the tendancy is to try and hit the ball in the air, therefor thining it even worse or missing it altogether.
Try and stay centred over the ball on your backswing with no swaying and then drive onto your left side finishing balanced up on your right toe (right hander)
HTH
Thanks Bob
I think you have described my symptoms perfectly, i will give your suggestions a go at the range.

(I have been away for a few days hence my non-response)
 
Freddie,is your handicap held at Castletown or the other course you play at? If it is Castletown good going handicap wise cos it's renowned as being prety tough.

Sorry missed this yes Castletown is my home club, some really good holes ( 17 & 5 especially) but like any links course in the wind shes a tiger in calm conditions she can be a pussy cat.

Awwwww... it was about time you kissed and made up.


Back to the thread,
Is it not possible that you could be topping it instead of thinning?.. 40yards doesn't sound that far for thinning (unless you are literally just clipping the top edge of paint on the way up) :p

Good spot!!!
I can see a Lewis Long ( plays off 5.3) but lowest handicapper at Castletown is -0.4. The plot thickens..... :D
 
Well, in the Cowley Groves Monthly Medal in June the results were as follows

1st; C.Heginbotham (66)
2nd; J.Sutton (67)
3rd A. L.Long (69)
Best Gross; T.Harris (74)
:D
 
Bit of support for Freddielong the clubs competition results show a different story.
A Mr L. Long looks one hell of a good player!

So because hes a good player it gives him the right to make up a handicap :D

Didn’t mean it like that - I thought the +1 after his name showed he was off +1.
This is a mean twist to the thread at this "happy + joyful" time of year. I love it!!!!!
