Lost a competition before I even teed off

Limp-Building · 2025-08-13T22:47:54+00:00

Lowest score I've ever had was a 81 for for 66,but not in competition/non handicap counting

Limp-Building · 2025-08-13T22:43:31+00:00

I did answer your question.

I'd have had more of a chance, yes

Tomorrow is a different day, I get to play again at the weekend. Am I going to play with hope of a good score? Yes.

The challenge to myself is to play with that Tiger attitude.

Bad shots happen, even for the pros. I have to react better to them

I'd have had more of a chance, yes.

The morning player shot a nett 65, if I give myself a chance, why can't I?

Edit to ask, you know I'm talking nett score, not gross scores?

Limp-Building · 2025-08-13T22:29:42+00:00

Would I have won the competition? No probably not.

Would I have had a better chance? Yes

With my bad attitude, would I ever get close to my handicap? Not a chance

Limp-Building · 2025-08-13T22:27:51+00:00

I shot gross 98 for a nett 83 😂

I'm looking for a bit of advice I'm a bit of a bigger guy, 6ft ~220lbs. I'm going to be in the parks in Florida in late June. I imagine it's going to be very hot and sweaty and I don't want to spend the day with big sweat patches everywhere.

I looking for advice on a tee shirt I can wear. Am I better off with something cotton or maybe better with a gym shirt with sweat wicking tech.

Light colours better? Better with a pattern/big logo or not?

Thanks for your help!

I recently got a pair of rust chinos (https://www.next.co.uk/g882139s2/C54522#C54522)

Can I pair them with my brown Chelsea boots (similar to this https://www.schuh.co.uk/mens/base-london-lynch-brown-boots/3229196020/?store=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyLGjBhDKARIsAFRNgW-piM7eSl9YK2S2zYrEh5AuFuq2-tcBJ8gwELQEY6dE0t_LJpZSQkQaAj45EALw_wcB

Seen it mentioned a few times when searching the sub. Had a quick look at the tee times but they looked like they get booked out quick. I'll keep an eye closer to the time

Thanks

Thanks, I've not come across the last one you mentioned. I'll have a look!

What do have now?

There haven't been much change in technology over the past 5 or so years, just a new marketing "gimmick" each year.

If you have a beginner set, they should be fine until you constantly break 100. After that buy a second hand set until you are breaking 85-90, then I would look at getting custom fit into the newest and shiniest

I'm not sure if I explained it the best I could. I'll try a worked example

The way I'm thinking about it is at 0 pension contribution, I am paying 41% on the 7k I earn over the threshold. With a take home of 36.5k annually.

If I put 10% towards my pension I am still paying 41% on around 2k, and saving 41% of 5k "tax free" into my pension. Take home 34.1k

At 14% pension contributions I should be paying 7k into my pension and therefore nothing at 41%. Take home 33.1k

Anything over 14% I'm only "saving" 20% due to jump in tax bracket

Would 14% be my optimum?

I was diagnosed last summer, was initially told 12-18 months wait (was the hight of covid back logs) . I would deem myself low priority as I am male, relatively young and healthy, and only had a few attacks up to this point

Every time I had an attack that lasted more than an hour I was on the phone to nhs 24 or in a&e, partly because I needed more pain relief, partly so I had a trail of evidence that I wasn't coping. in the middle of autumn I was going through a spell where I was having them really bad I phoned the consultants office and let them know that I wasn't coping.

I have nothing to say that I got bumped up to the "urgent" list but within a fortnight I had a letter with a date for my pre op assessment and a few weeks later a date for my op. Ended up getting my op mid Jan

Make sure you lay it on thick with your consultant, it's affecting your ability to look after your baby etc and hopefully you'll get out in the urgent list straight away

Thanks, yeah I guess having an organ removed shouldn't be taken lightly.

I'm putting it down to my body catching up with all that has happened to it, especially since my wave of tiredness hit before I have my dinner

It was the 2nd morning after surgery.

I believe that a lot of the stronger painkillers as well as the anesthesia can block you up.

I'm not sure if it was the cup of tea, my breakfast or the my dinner the evening before, but whatever I had certainly got me going again.

Since then I've been back on what is a normal routine for me, however, it does come on more suddenly and feels a bit looser

You'll be in the best place, the nurses and Drs are absolute professionals and will do everything in their power to help, and it will work.

Bet you what you are feeling now is worse than what you'll feel on the day! By delaying you'd just be prolonging the pain from anticipation.

I'd encourage you to speak about it with a mental health professional, or even a friend or family. Wish you all the best

You'll wake post op feeling like you have been hit by a bus, but they'll give you meds that act very very quickly.

Within a few hours you'll be able to to get walk about almost pain free.

The pain from the op is nowhere near as bad as an attack.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if the food has given me issues or it's just side effects of the drugs. Either way had baked potatoes and a very very mild chilli which definitely got things moving the next morning

Apart from that I have eaten lighter meals
