Where did that come from?

[Hobbit]

My own arrogance was, to a certain extent, left in tatters last night. After struggling off the tee and, to a certain extent, into the green for weeks I decided to hit the range last night before our matchplay knockout. After only hitting a doz balls, working on what I know my swing should look like I left the range for the first tee.

Cue middle of the fairway, par 5, well down and a 5 iron into the green. And so it continued all the way round. Perhaps the best being on a longer, uphill, par 5. An immense drive followed by a 6 iron. Or perhaps it was on the last hole. 1-up, an immense drive reached a fairway bunker I've never reached before leaving a 6 iron to the green. BOOM! It flew out of the sand and finished 6ft from the hole - now that's proper golf!!

From my PP, "I've never seen you hit the ball so well and so far."

My petard has been hoisted. Warming up is a must.

Just trying to recall, which wise OLD man was uttering these words......??

Wish the putter was. Old faithful has been in the locker for weeks, and the new one isn't much better.

I cut out of work early yesterday to have a long warm up before my round. Chipped for 20 minutes, 20 minutes on the range and 10 minutes on the putting green.

End result: an eight on the first (par 4) and a nine of the second (par 5). I then played the next 16 holes in +7.

Golf, eh?

Good one Bri :thup:

I always hit balls before going out. Not sure it makes any discernible difference but I feel better in my head for doing it
