Although my score was only 3 shots better than my previous game I felt like I was playing much better golf today. Was a few chips that I farked that really hurt my score. At least there wasn't lawn mowers/other assorted machinery everywhere this morning. Was happy with some of the drives I hit today too, got onto 1 or 2 or them especially well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to hit low 90s on most courses with the antiquesUntil I retired in 2000 after cracking a ton in pouring rain at Palmdale on the GC.Playing maybe once a year at this stage.That said the only time I came out of retirement in 2003 I was on a study tour. Had been on the syrup for several daysat Sun City in RSA and like most staggered on to the bus for a corporate Golf day in Cape Town. Early wake up , several missed the bus. hahahahaSo armed with a hire kit esky and cart went out for 18 holes. Was expecting a cricket score. 88 off the stick legit.Not even a ball struck in 3 years priorCould not believe the difference better gear makes, the sweet spots were huge.It did make me think that with a decent set of clubs, practice , and time on the courseI could have been competitive with a proper handicap.Family and career intervened. Over a decade since I've swung a club , except at cane toads.Maybe another time and place. Need to hit a few buckets first 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 12y 8m 19d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 08/03/15 09:12 AM Share Posted 08/03/15 09:12 AM Got out this arvie for 9 holes. Lady luck was on my side because for the first 8 holes even my mish*ts finished well. Held the bloke I was playing with to ransom on every hole (friendly beer per hole wager). 2 birdies on par 3's and 1 birdie on a par 4. Worst hole was a bogey.Until the last hole and he said 'double or nothing'.I took 7 shots to get on the green (including a penalty for losing a ball). Only 1 putt though. He got par (4) so I got no beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do need to get some lessons at some point, haven't had any since I first played back in school...probably have some rather nasty habits these days. I've started the trend again though, need to keep playing AT LEAST once per break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with over gripping the club.. Always felt I need to strangle the club to hit the ball further. Still feels stupid when I grip the club correctly but the quality of the hit is definitely noticeable.As long as I remember to swing the club and let the club hit the ball, snap my left arm straight before I connect the ball, keep my head down, rotate my shoulders first and lower body second on the back swing and drink a few beers, I tend to do okay at golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
