Samuel Camazzola Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The Torrance at the Fairmont is in absolute immaculate condition. 👌🏼 Greens as smooth and true as snooker tables. Fairways like carpets. The course has been receiving extra care due to this week's final Open qualifier and the DP World Tour event next month. I recommend playing it whilst it's in this way. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never payed or asked for a lesson, but got one at Panmure. Grip, alignment, stance and posture was textbook, but belt buckle didn't finish facing the target, hence a couple of snap hooks. The touring coach Pro (can't remember name) sent me my video nasty. Seeing my weight, right foot and hips static through the swing was ugly...Video fixed me though... No need to be shitting yourself, if the Pro can sort you out, he'll be like a dug wi twa cocks...and so will you...good luck...👍 Edited June 28, 2022 by OBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get to the practice range and play a round soon after the lesson to try and get it to sink in. Don't have a lesson and then not play for a few weeks. Which is what I've done in the past and any progress I'd made during the lesson was gone and I'd forgotten half the stuff I'd been told. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drive ma usually long and straight for a few weeks, then it'll go to pot and get worse trying to fix it. Nightmare. I only started last year and had a driving lesson to fix my slice (got to the point the ball was like a boomerang and was going to start coming back round), a putting lesson, and general iron lesson from one of my local pro's and the difference in my play is night and day. Can find the fairway on most of my drives now, basically eradicated 3-putts from my game (bar the odd howler), and added about 20 yards onto each of my irons, all after a single lesson for each. He's got a cracking set up in his bay that has all the Trackman stuff - he takes videos and puts them side-by-side to the Trackman data and talks over it so you've always got a copy of it. What Ray Gin said as well - get playing as soon as you can after. I didn't play for a couple of months after my driving lesson and it went to complete shit when I played again but the fact he sends you a video makes it harder to forget what you've been taught... Found out earlier this year he's a ST holder as well 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Won a £60 voucher for 2nd in my age group in Pitreavie Seniors. Lost a ball at 17 or would have won my age group. Would have still been a sot shott of outright winner. I will admit, I felt a bit of a bandit getting a 17 hcap. Slope is a huge 137 there. But my index was 14.4, such was the hideous scoring this year. Last 3 scores have had me back around the 12 mark. Game is getting steadier.

ri Alban Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I had my first lesson today. It telt strange changing my swing, tho I did improve my irons (I was taking divets cause I was coming down on the ball) and straightened my drive, tho it felt less powerful. Hopefully I'll get the power back. If not I'll need to use longer irons than i usually do. My bunker play was top notch. First shot 6 inch fae the hole and the pro said "Well, that'll do us then" Very enjoyable and was told that I'll not be a 21 handicap for long. Chuffed. Sorry if I'm boring you, but I'm buzzing being back playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So I got an ens today from the R&A telling me to drive or get a bus to the Open, not to use the train. Sounds like Scot Rail can’t put in extra trains or guarantee the emergency timetable. It will cost them millions over the week. Will there be extra buses, two hours at the best of times. A bit of a pain tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
