Sten Guns Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Anybody know of a way to STOP buying golf gear? These are arriving tomorrow in time for my 40 over par opening round on Saturday. Haha brilliant. I know the feeling man. Recently bought 4 dozen Nike RZN Tour platinum's because they're half price now Nike have pulled out of the hardware side of things. Great ball. ?20 a dozen is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's been selling them at thus price Sten? I've been buying Vice for the last year as they are a ProV1 equivalent at a fraction of the price.

Ray Gin Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) First proper round of the year in today after last week's practice 9. Shot an 88. Shambolic again on the first hole, topping my drive about 100 yards and starting with a treble bogey before settling down and playing not too shabby overall considering the lack of golf. A few fluffed chips and terrible wood shots made the score worse than it should have been, but otherwise not too bad really. Struck some pretty solid iron shots. Hopefully this means I won't take until the middle of the summer again to get back to the form I was on at the end of last year. No lost balls which was highly unexpected.

Sten Guns Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ray that's decent considering the lay off. Armageddon Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yeah can't complain really. My driving got back up to speed fairly quickly after a few duff ones at the start of the round, but attempting to hit my 3 wood and hybrid off the deck was disastrous. I've always been shite at short pitches and chips so that probably wasn't really too out of character tbh. Still temped to get a new custom fitted set of clubs, but reckon I should probably get a few more rounds in to refind something resembling a consistent swing first.

Armageddon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Out in 43 back in 42. I did finish with a 2, hit my second drive OB which resulted in a double bogey 7. Had a triple bogey 7 elsewhere in a totally disappointing day, didn't strike it well at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Played at Golf del Sur today, the South and North courses. 32 degree heat, using hire clubs that were just all wrong for me, had a shocking front 9 so much so that I practically stopped using the irons altogether on the back 9 but I absolutely loved it! Cracking course and put together some decent holes once I started to get a feel for the grass. +13 front 9 and +6 back 9 for a net 68.

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 That's ok. I assume, looking at that Par3,(lovely hole) you left yourself on the high side putting downhill, maybe? Landed front right and rolled way up the back right which left a nightmare of a putt. Put it to 3 foot and missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looks class. Are some of the bunkers filled with black sand? Did you play Amarilla? All the bunkers are black, and there must be hundreds of them...I hit 8 on the round! Didn't play Amarilla, just Golf del Sur but will likely play there the next time I'm in Tenerife.

Cyprus Jambo Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Much did you pay for a round/clubs Liam - my hotel over looks the course when I head there end of June. Haven't thought about playing it but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't thought about playing it but you never know. It was ?59 for the round and then ?35 for the clubs. I opted for the Titleist, you can also get TM for ?35 or Wilson for ?26. I wish I had opted for the Wilson to be honest as they gave me stiff flex AP2's when I normally use regular flex AP1's (I didn't notice until the 3rd hole as I didn't need an iron until then and I wasn't turning back), you can imagine how appalling my iron play was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Played in the medal around Gullane No1 yesterday... Shot a 78 and missed 11 putts of 6 foot and under! Couldn't hole a f'n thing.. Really disappointed as I played so well tee to green.. On 2 of the par 5s in 2, hit 3 of the 4 par 3s .. . Still I know I am usually a good putter so it gives me hope for the season..

VivaObua Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 86 for me yesterday, loved being back out and considering I shot 9 over my handicap I'm quite pleased! Tee to green felt nice but 3 or 4 3 putts cost me big time struggled on bumpy greens but knew I would roll on Wednesdays medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm currently a member at Liberton, but I'm considering switching to Glencorse. Yes I know that it is similar to Liberton as its quite short, but my wife and two boys play as well. Has anyone played there, is it any good. I've looked at the videos on their website and it looks quite a nice wee course. Does the weather have a big impact on the place, as I know it snows for fun up Penicuik way.
