WOW what a basket!

[timgolfy]

Just finished a basket of balls at the range - the best ever session yet!

Difficult to tell regarding accuracy because of the swirling wind, but the contact on 110 of the 120 balls was excellent, a few were thinned and a one shanked. But overall solid, powerful contacts. Even finished with some 35 yard high powered flop shots landing a few feet from the pin.

Nearly ready for the course!

Did you down any low flying aircraft?

Nice one, its always good to feel like your striking the ball well, always gives me massive confidence to take out onto the course.
Definitely worth practising the short game shots like "flop"shots too, although I probably wouldnt use that kind of shot very often I think that trying all different wedge shots really gets the confidence up with the wedges!

Tim, don't put it off - get out on the course.

Most of us will have started without the grounding you have given yourself up the range. But it's time to play off the uneven lies that you will find on the course - time to fine tune your basics.

 

[timgolfy]

Yep - time to get back on the course. I've been unable to play for the last month due to holidays and family commitments, instead stealing an occasional basket or two.

LOL. As it happens, the range is close to an airfield - normally quite busy airspace with light aircraft and helicopters flying directly overhead. I'll try next time.

Was that one of your balls I saw overhead yesterday at World Wood golf in Florida? Oh welcome back I thaught you had deserted us!

What ever it's name, I opened the face of my 60 wedge, put it back in my stance, then whacked it as hard as I could. It felt good.

I love flop shots off a mat. Awesome spin. Can nearly zip it back into the bay.

On the course? No. Much harder shot. Much less spin. Way easier to shank it too, for some unknown reason.

Well done tim keep up the good work.

Might have been a stray ball from Tim that took Bin Laden out.


Flop shots usally played more off front foot.

Agreed, off the Matt at the range, easy, no pressure, no fear of skulking or shanking it. On the course, I can't think of many occasions I would even think it was a good option. I'd have to be Really snookered to attempt it when it mattered.

Can see the headline now: US forces state " it was not us, it was timmy huge from the uk "

I have been trialling Ping's new secret development driver: The Ping Tomahawk Cruise. I wondered why some of the Click 90s disappeared over the horizon.

Soon there will be a few more golf balls on the moon.
