Craw you knob!!
I have got absolutely no interest in golf myself at the moment. Last played at Blackmoor on the H4H day, enjoyed the banter but didn't really enjoy the golf. I have no plans to play anymore over the winter. None whatsoever. Crowborough is like the Somme, even Cooden is closed at the moment, if it's not closed it's on 18 temporary greens! Feck the golf.
But I won't sell my clubs. Never. They are tucked away ready for a game or two next year.
Sod the club membership, trying to keep my handicap down. I'm not that in love with the game that I want that anymore, but I still enjoy the craic of a few hours out with my mates.
The next time I play will most probably be next April or May. I'll pick a nice day and have a knock around East Brighton, one of my favourite courses. It's guaranteed to be bone dry, in good condition and even after not playing for 6 months or so I reckon I could still knock it round and score 30 points or so. That'll do me. Don't sell the clubs. I did it once. It costs a bloody fortune to replace them!! Just kick them in the ...... and put them away for 3 or 4 months
;)

Smiffy is right…I used to stop completely every winter, at least four or five months. I came out every spring with little expectations and my HC hovered around 7,8 or 9. Now I play all winter off the same HC as you Craw and at that level we all end up being hard on ourselves.

So this year in medal rounds I’ve went from the sublime to the ridiculous. Shot 73 and 76 in club championship Q, (don’t know if that’s the ridiculous) to then shoot 90 in a medal only a few weeks later. I three stabbed the first three greens and I hated every step I took that day. I didn’t know if I was going to hit the ball or not and I never felt so uncomfortable over the ball since the day I started. I took a couple of weeks off then went out again. Two weeks is a long time for me not to play.

I thought about cutting my wrists but I’m still here and yesterday I got it round in 6 over. Many, many, many times I wonder how the hell I managed to put some of my scores together, but I have a HC that most people would like especially at my age.

I think it’s easy to have high expectations and rightly so, but I try to curb that to allow for the utter crap I’m capable of every now and then.

By the way, I beat a scratch golfer down the 19th to get into the last 8 of the championship, then went out and shanked the ball four times to get emptied 5 n 4 in the quarters. Lucky I didn’t have the razor blades that day.
 
Dinnae dae it man! The worst round I shot all year was at the Craigmillar Park meet,but I still had the pleasure of meeting your good self and a fair few other good lads.Have a break,stow your bats,but most importantly stop taking everything so seriously! When you are finally in the mood for a no pressure round I will be happy to give you a game at Alyth and next to me you will look awesome! All the best mate whatever you decide!

Not even sure that I enjoy that any more. If I'm playing like a fud I don't enjoy playing golf. Plain and simple.

Its a tough call old boy,but if are not enjoying it anymore, give it a rest.

As for Selling all your gear, why not. Lets face it you would have changed it all by Christmas anyway.

How about Crown Green Bowles?
 
Im PMSL at this thread. What a way to change your bag. I gurantee I will play with the_craw at Machrihanish next season. More chance of me rapping golf than this fud.

I can trace his demise right back to a custom fit for a KGB driver - FACT lol!!

He will rise again like a Phoenix from a bunker
