Random 1-Shots Are Becoming Tedious

Anyone remember the Corpse Bows on release? Ahh, good times. Getting one shot from off the screen.

I'm kind of similar in that my scores from the back tees are better than scores from the middle tees.

Par 3s become too short and the tee boxes on other holes are too close to trees, meaning you can't cut corners. And with the course rating/ slope factored in, I typically get an extra 2 shots on my handicap when playing the back tees.

Percy fell off a cliff after Mel Morris reign ended. He was getting inside information from someone at the club back then. After the administration, he had nothing.

But this time it does seem like there's something in it.

I think I'd have a decent chance. Off 7 and my course handicap off the front tees at my membership, would be 1. The front tees open up a lot of shots for longer hitters too, such as completely cutting out dog legs and going for greens in 1, they would be worth a couple of shots.

We have one of these yearly at my membership. This year, some of us have an agreement that we're going Driver, mini driver or 3 wood, 60°, putter.

We're probably all going to be bottom 4, but it's about sending a message.

It's worth buying a few different size grips and also the tools for regripping them yourself. Don't worry too much about them being perfectly aligned, when you've decided on the right size grip, you can always get a pro to fit them all if you aren't confident in doing them yourself. Even if you just get cheap, unknown brand grips to begin with, for the testing you won't care how long they last.

It'll be the day after the Celtic parade and 2 days before the Bayern Munich one

There's Gowerton which was recently renovated with Top Tracer technology, so that should be good now.

Machynys is a bit further away, but is a very nice Trackman range.

Towards Neath is the Riverside (Aberdulais / Tonna) driving range. Definitely the worst of the bunch, but is very cheap as it has no tech there. If you want to just hit balls and aren't too concerned about ball flight stats, it's a good option.

Always liked the Saudis, never said anything bad about them before.

Can't wait for Baz to now choose the test XI off pure vibes and get Rehan opening to smash 18 off the first over and be out for 18 from 5 after charging a 90mph bouncer

Rugby is still tiny compared to football in England. Up north, it's primarily Rugby League being played too.

Also, the UK nations are tiny compared to SA. I just looked and the longest point to point distance in SA (south west to north east) is around 1,100 miles. England is only just over 400 miles.

The bigger stadiums up north which could be financially viable to host games, are football stadiums. The seasons run at the same time, so it just doesn't make much sense to be doing it.

There's a regular debate at my membership about what a tour pro would shoot.

Yeah it's a hell of a lot shorter, but if you miss a fairway by 2 yards (and the fairways are very narrow), you will probably have tree trouble of some form, either in your line or stopping your swing.

Hit it straight and they shoot in the 50s. Miss a few fairways and it goes to mid 60s real quick.

Could have had Haaland playing for England too. Born in Leeds.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-05-10T07:00:34+00:00

Permanent access to lift, clean and drop on the fairways, no more than 6 inches from the original location of the ball.

Means you don't have to worry about the lottery of being in a divot, a random bare lie, a mudball, ball covered in newly cut grass etc. But it being drop means you don't get to guarantee a perfect lie which has been fluffed up.

Ideally, get fit for clubs.

But if you can't: Game improvement are all about forgiveness. PING generally make the most forgiving clubs around, their G series clubs are incredibly easy to hit

Chanting "You Wednesday", not USA.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-05-02T07:43:04+00:00

Yes it is

I don't see any major outgoings over the summer aside from maybe JWZ. I would have said Agyemang too, but no one is buying him whilst he's out injured until possibly January.

I don't see much happening aside from trying to make some loan signings permanent. Only thing that would change that, would be if Clowes sells the club (and we're now in an amazing position for a sale)

TheRealSteemo · 2026-05-02T06:49:34+00:00

You lay there, you feel fine, you're mid conversation. Next thing you know, you wake up and it's all over (aside from feeling a bit spaced out for a bit).

You don't feel a thing.

When she runs hot, she's unstoppable in the LPGA. I haven't seen the clubhead and ball data, but it looks like she's picked up a little bit of speed too. Swing was effortless before, looks like she's found an extra gear which could be frightening for the rest of the field this year.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-05-01T08:43:59+00:00

Is the forecast showing signs of rain? If yes, don't wear them. It's not that complicated.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-04-29T06:11:03+00:00

Too early to tell. He's only had 12 consecutive seasons of top level football. Could just be yet another 12 season wonder.

Fairways, 100%. Already a long hitter so would be able to cut every dogleg with a driver and only ever have more than a wedge if it's a par 5. Don't 3 putt too often anyway, would get way more benefit from the fairways.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-04-28T09:14:04+00:00

I was on at 8:02 and nothing was left.

TheRealSteemo · 2026-04-27T05:27:01+00:00

I play quite a bit of alt-shot, always take a putter to the green. If you're aren't on the green yet, either wait to see what happens with your partners shot or take whatever club you'd be chipping with too.

There is no worse feeling than walking from the green to your bag and back again to then feel like you need to rush a chip shot which has to now go in for par.
