Cyprus Jambo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Guys, normally a left to right hitter and nowhere near as severe as it used to be but what causes a duck hook. Getting so frequesnt these days that it's p*ssing me right off. Was going well on Saturday until that happened, over correctly to lose another ball with the said left to right in the semi rough (wish they would cut it now and then!!!!) Didn't bother playing Sunday's medal as feel so peeved at knowing that this Duck Hook can hit me anytime - MIND GAMES AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't bother playing Sunday's medal as feel so peeved at knowing that this Duck Hook can hit me anytime - MIND GAMES AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH Duck hook is usually caused by an in to out swing path. Try either pulling your laft foot back a bit to open your stance or take the club away on a more outside swing plane, it will feel as if you are pushing it away from your body. You might find you shove or slice a few until you get the correct balanace between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyeyespy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Im not a member of any clubs nor have a handicap, but have been out recently with my brother-inlaw(6 handicap) and his friends (also in the same winter league team as him.)WHOOPED HIM AND ALL HIS MATES...... since this he has always been to busy to go out for another game with me.

Will just have to settle for the slice then as at least I find that one, even if in the semi. Or pratice more, but who does that!!!!!!!

Bigsmak Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Played Kilspindie at aberlady today and it was fantastic. Great little course, good test and the weather was brilliant. Might be the last day like this of 2011. Made the most of it and my 19 handicapper partner had a 3 net 2 down the par 4 last when we were dormie up. Food in the clubhouse was good. If you haven't played there.. Do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Skacel Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Playing Dunbar tomorow. Really nice course. Played it in the summer. I expect it to be abit chillier and windier than then. Im looking to break 100 which is reasonable. Shot 102 the last time but had a horrendus start on the first 3 holes of the front and back 9.

Advice .. keep it in the middle, if you have to hit a 5 wood off the tee do it.. If you are down the middle on every hole you will easily break 90. I promise.

Rudi Skacel Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yeah I loved it when I played in July. I got it on a calm day. Boy I was playing with says you get about 2 days a year with no wind and this was one of them. You play Haddington alot Bigsmak? I played this morning and shot 93. Main problem I have is I can get to the green in 2 shots, or just off the edge in 2 shots most hole but im shocking around the greens. Pitching and putting.

Pesky crows.. ----------- So what does everyone think of the new rules coming into play this January? 1. being the ball moved by wind on putting green will not count as a shot even if you have addressed it. 2. you can rake a bunker before you play a shot (but not to improve your lie..) -I'll need to read this one fully. There are a few more.. but these ones are pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one I really cant fathom. I dont see the point in raking a bunker before you play your shot if it isnt going to improve your lie?

I think if you are in a bunker, one of the big ones at Gullane for example, and it has footprints everywhere you can rake them, so when you don't get your ball out first time and it comes back into the bunker it will help. I will add though, that its a hazard, not just a bunker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprus Jambo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Guys, it's not golfing weather at the moment (although I do play throughout the winter) but how about sorting 4balls prior to the season kicking off in April. I'll invite Bigsmak to Haddington, so looking for 2 others from other clubs so we can all do a swap. Think it's a ?10 for a round with a member. Any takers?

Andyeyespy Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Well done.. Much harder than a 147 or a 9 dart finish! In my opinion i would say a nine dart finish is the hardest out of the lot. why i think its harder than a hole in one is an amatuer could get a generous run hop and skip up to the hole and pop in the hole it goes. Seen it nearly done a couple of times and its always the worst hit ever lol. I play darts quite often and its hard enough to hit one 180 never mind two in a row and so on, an amatuer could never achieve this. But thats just my opinion obviously no right and wrong.
