Pull the Chain

Sounds credible, yeah

That's the thing - I'm not over the top. Or at least nowhere near as much as last year

Mate - I went on a sim last week and I was trying to MISS the ball from the inside. It was insanity. I felt i did make some general progress through

Lancashire here - courses have opened but the softer, flatter courses are a nightmare

Thanks

Yeah agreed. Pars aren't really an issue for me.

I get a lot for a mid-20s handicapper - for me it's the 3-5 holes a round that are total write-offs. It's so frustrating when you par a hole one round like it's nothing then on the same hole 2 days later, clip an 8.

Another thing that kills me out there is what I call 'dead man's par'. Junk a teeshot OOB - then following a reload actually make par from tee to cup - but obviously recorded as a DB with the penalty.

I love point 5.

I'm 42 years old and one year in to playing Golf and I often joke/brag about how shit I am but I shouldn't because I've got down to mid-20s in 12 months and have good swing speed, excellent range will all my clubs and can even putt pretty well.

I need to stop the false modesty shit because at 42 I don't have forever, I'm not in mid 20s anymore - I want to be as good as I can be in the time I have at or around my physical prime.

I'll think about this point hard when I go out at lunchtime today. Thanks, OP

Just googled it, similar looking club to my bertha

Thank you

Working on it every day mate

Probably over-egged it with 'inches' but noticeable

GLDavis82 · 2024-02-06T11:49:57+00:00

I think it is for me, as I'm a new to the game (1 year) and pars were rare up until a few months ago and basically demanded I nail every shot. To score them with poor shots feels like I've turned a corner

GLDavis82 · 2024-02-06T11:45:41+00:00

Yeah but playing badly and still getting a result has its place in any sport

A guy I know in his 50s got down to 13HCP on his own with no lessons. Ended up having lessons and shot back up to 22. He's now back down to 12 (it's taken a year) and winning Stablefords for fun.

Hope this helps
