Tommy Brown Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Watching Countryfile just now, all about Balmoral Castle. It's got a bloody Golf Course. 1. Who the hell plays on it? 2. How do we get a JKB outing on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As TB says above though, if you want to proper geek out then there's loads of other stats in there. On 08/09/2022 at 04:08, Tommy Brown said: As a basic GPS golf watch it works perfectly well as any other watch. This can be bought as a G3 version for a bit cheaper than your comparable Garmin, Bushmills models. If you go to a V3 version for £145 , you get a set of sensors that you attach to each club. This allows you to upload your round to your app and see each shot on a gps map. This gives you the shot distance which is mostly what I am interested in. You can go super geeky, the app will analyse the data into Gir, fairways hit, putt count etc. Go onto website https://shotscope.com/uk/ Have a good look at what results it gives you. It is well worth the money compared to Garmins and Bushnells. On 07/09/2022 at 22:57, Armageddon said: Talk to me about ShotScope, is it worth it? I'm a massive fan of ShotScope - had the 1 and V2. Its so important to know your distances, but it also helps with = what % you are hitting right or left, Where your Short game is good or letting you down - Can also help you just understand course management a bit better when you analyse your rounds. Its a really affordable way to have stats that would have been impossible to know only a few years ago. That Pros spent thousands on hiring people to get for them.

kila Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 My clubhouse and pro shop are closed but the course is open for those who have booked tees. Does mean there's no one keeping an eye on the starters so could be a bit of a free for all if all the good tees are taken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so, I'm resolved to get myself a new driver for the new season. And, for the first time in nearly 20 years, an actual handicap. Get Carnoustie out the way first... Good to hear. What index have you got to start with? Did you make it up to play in the Open at your dad's place (and was Sandy there)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri Alban Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I bought masel a TM R1 used driver, just to make sure it was my old driver that's the problem and not me. About 60 yards added to my drive and i hit most fairways. Hitting greens in reg or beside them. 3 putting is costing me about over a dozen shots, tho. Need to sort that out. But what a difference, I was about to give up. I'll now be investing next year in a top of the range driver. Back out the morra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be looking at your stroke type and making sure you have the correct putter type for your stroke (arc = toe hang. straight back and through = face balanced) I'd be filming your stroke in slow-mo and seeing what it does pre and post strike (you could be pushing or pulling at impact) I'd practice like an absolute demon, starting from 3ft until you cannot miss I too am Tom Kite at putting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
