The Gorgie Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Managed to get 3 rounds in this week, first time playing since early December. Shot an 82, 92 & a 85. Was fairly happy with that as I was without my driver and still trying to get use to the new irons. Can't wait for the better weather.

They could easily have four straight birdies with a conventional approach and be the difference in them contending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Often use the top tracer at Wellsgreen, outside Leven. Either the on range markers or wrong or their Top Tracer is totally set up wrong. Not the first time I've flown a 7 iron over the 150 marker on the range and it's told me I've hit it 120. I'm leaning towards incorrectly set up markers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really know what I’m doing practice wise or what causes a bad one so it’s pretty much aimlessly smashing balls. I play off 5 (was 6.5 until new handicap system) and don’t have the time to commit to playing often enough to get any lower at the moment. Figured playing a few holes on the top tracer or the target stuff would make it more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally am trying to work on something , then try to do a spell of real play eg driver, then 7 iron, then a chip, change and repeat. I also dropped handicap 4.6 - 3.3.

Upside, gives them a chance to build a better one with west facing views. This i the only positive I can see.

Unlikely to be allowed accross into Fife for this? yes/no? If you cancel 1 month prior you get a refund, anyone done this? did it go ok?

But find restrictions are lifted before 27/3/21 (I think is unlikely) or have to move the date back to Oct/Nov if restrictions dont allow in March.
