Which part of your game has been most affected ?

[stevek1969]

For all the guys who have managed a game in the last few days what part has been the worst affected?

Mine is my driver and fairway woods i've really struggled with them in the last 2 games i've had,over the last few months i've hit them consistantly well even at the range i've hit them well,not sure why they've deserted me.

The thing that suprised me most is my iron game which has been good as is my putting which normally for me goes after 6 weeks out i get no feel for distance or speed.

What part of your game is affected most ?

My whole game was pretty ropey this morning only mangaged 30 points...

However it was just lack of match fitness that caused the majority of the dropped shots 6 over with a tripple and a double on my card was not to bad.

Please with my chipping which was dreadful before the break.

Great to be back playing though

Chipping from off the green was poor, I did chip in once for a 3 though and ended up with 41 points, not bad after 5 weeks off.I am investing in short game lessons this year It's the key for me to get my handicap back top where it should be.

I take it you didn't miss many greens mate 41 points good shooting, one of my goals for the year is to work from 100 yards and in ,have just got to get the bloody ball in play first tho.

Driver! It was the only thing that I was annoyed about annoyed about but it was showing signs of improvement. Overall I was very happy considering I had not played for three weeks.

My course is still shut as well mate has been for 6 weeks am lucky i've managed 2 games with gcd at St Andrews.
I don't no if i'll hook it block it or hit it straight,most annoying ,fitness has been ok as i go to the gym.

Our course is still shut, having an inspection tomorrow morning to see if it can open - and guess when im back at work after 2 weeks sat around the house?....Yep thats right, tomorrow!

Snow has been clear for a week now, but course suffers badly with drainage so takes a week for it to dry out.

2 games at St Andrews?? Ya jammy git, I would be happy with 1 game there in my lifetime

Driver is not behaving at the moment.

 

[Tiger]

Short game is absolutely woeful at the moment and putting a littlehit and miss. Everything else has actually got better with the break!!

It was the 6, 5 & 4 iron that I struggled with for my first round.

One fat one, one thin one and so on. Second time out felt much better though.

Chipping was spot on, surprisingly.

 

[pokerjoke]

Played quite well after having a few weeks off,surprisingly it was my 3 wood when driving,however short game was good.74 nett 64 sat 40 points on sun stableford so quite pleased.

Played for the first time in two months today. Whole game was 'off', but it was the putting the suffered the most, and then general ball striking.

Driver. It goes left. Way left. And short. Just as well.

You need some practice aids...

Good job you went for custom fitting

 

[TobyRich1928]

my short game was all over the place, missing short putts and my chipping was also very poor but with no practise green at my course atm, due to improvements, it could be awhile before that gets better

 

[kid2]

I played 3 times over the past week....
I was really makin up for lost time
I had 31 points in a comp last wednesday...I played thursday in a bounce round and had 37 points and i played yesterday and contributed 5 birdies for my team....
My putting has been good but i was practicing that alot over the few weeks of bad weather....
My iron play was mediocre...I was under clubbing alot....
Driving was pretty good and my woods were pretty good....Chipping around the greens was average at best...Nothing special....
Still im happy enough considering that i hadnt hit a ball in nearly 2 months...

 

[SatchFan]

Tee shots on par 3s. I hate playing them off plastic mats.

 

[Andy]

Started off gr8 today but didn't last lol. Wasn't really bothered about chipping or putting as greens were frozen solid.

Driver was good to start as was 3 wood but didn't last lol.

Irons were ok considering they were either off a mat or out the ruff lmao.

Got a swing at least even if it was baltic.

I've played three times since Christmas, all on winter tees and greens, but I've hit a really good streak for me.

84, 83 and 81 gross, 1 under, 2 under and 4 under handicap, all parts of my game have been firing okay but the main thing I've managed to do is play within myself rather than trying to blast everything.

Just hope I can keep the mindset going into April when the comps start....
