Challenge Tour Pro
I would have finished my last few rounds -10 -8 -7 my handicap...
I wonder where I am going wrong????
No seriously its amazing how much you have to put in to this game... After a lesson with the head pro at the belfry I have been striking my irons better than ever and have therefore been on the green or mostly around the green in 2... My chipping has came on leaps but still could be better as I am not getting it close enough... Im embarassed to say its been the all or nothing approach where as I used to leave so many to dustbin lid distance but never gave it a chance... Now I am either rattling them in (obviously not very often or lipping out/very natrowly missing them and running 6 ft past... The problem is I then miss the 6ft putt back but always by an inch or so for the easiest of tap ins... I. Truth i know I have put no effort in to my putting since coming back to the game after 8 months out so its obvious I need to... Isnt it mad though how an area of your game that was never a problem and you could average 2 putts a hole quite easily is now turning my 4's into 5's and 5's into 6s....
10 - 3 putts is amazing even for me...
Anyway lesson booked for the long game (not falling into that trap) following by a short game lesson a few days later.
Bloody love/hate this game!
