kila Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 That's shite about Vogrie. I played that a lot when I was wee and loved it. Would sometimes chance it and do those three holes that loop round back to the same spot twice if there was no one coming up. Was it a par 3 to finish? I'm trying to remember the holes. Quote

My mates laddie just got a set of golf clubs and thought it would be good to take the wee man on a day out. It seems like there were loads about when i was growing up but can't find any nowadays. There was is one at the sports centre in Bathgate,a bit closer to you. Quote

Samuel Camazzola Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Wolff's continuous gesturing to his caddy and moaning when he misses a putt or fairway is getting pretty irritating. Quote

The Gorgie Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Went to the range today after work and was baffled at what i was seeing. I haven't been to the range for a while put been playing a lot instead. GW, PW & 9i have all started going much further. I was hitting my 9i 170 yards, had to double check it was definitely the 9, usually my max with a 9 was about 140. No idea how there was so much of a gain as from 8i - 5i was exactly what i would expect. Quote

merrymac Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Did anyone watch the golf from Payne's Valley last night? wow what a golf course, designed by Tiger but an amazing setting. The 19th hole is spectacular Edited September 23, 2020 by merrymac Quote

The 19th hole is spectacular I did. Looked tremendous. A couple of the fairways were the widest I'd ever seen. No expense spared with the 19th and the clip showing how it was constructed was impressive. The tee looked like it had just been laid and wasn't quite ready to be played on. I'm sure I've been in rough which is shorter! 😂 Quote

Samuel Camazzola Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Just now, merrymac said: Tiger building a course to suit his driving The longest drive comp on 18 was a no contest. Thomas hit a cracking strike but it looked to be him at his limit. Rory breezed it past him with some to spare. Rose didn't need to bother and just hit his usual elegant strike up the middle. I like the idea of 19th holes being added for the novelty factor. I played La Finca in Spain years ago and it had a 19th being finalised. Quote
merrymac Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Rose needs to get his putting sorted big time. Still hitting it nicely but struggling to do anything on the greens. Don't like that putter he is using, looks like a branding iron Quote

I just switched to a Cleveland longer length putter, the extra weight really helps me to keep my stroke smooth, and my putting certainly better than it has been. Quote

Tommy Brown Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Nice wee 2nd prize at Muckhart seniors on Thursday. £125 voucher. More importantly, 0.7 cut, back to 12 Open at Saturday at Harburn. Pars at 17 & 18 would have given me another 0.8 cut. Double bogeyed both Demoralised. Quote
