"bought new set of irons, they look cracking" "You hitting the better with them?" "Not yet, having trouble getting used to them" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played average but making stupid decisions like trying to go for the green on 18 with a hybrid out a fairway bunker needing to carry 190 yards to clear the water doesn’t help.

It’ll hopefully be my first round with a new driver so hitting it straight the first few holes might be interesting. I should just hit irons or a hybrid off the tee first few holes since they are so short but where’s the fun in that. That attitude probably sums up why I play off 12 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 i had my first round match play tie at my club last Friday. playing a boy who had the same playing handicap as me (9), so no shots. dormy after the 15th eventually beat him 2up. it felt like a proper win, not getting any shots and we both had a good battle. compare to last year when I played a boy off 28, i was giving him a shot every hole!! I had to score well under my handicap to have any chance. the new system is ok, but agree with some comments before its way to easy to manipulate the general scoring. Bandits everywhere out there.

Bigsmak Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Played a foursome tie today. Combined handicaps were even so no shots. But my game came back and we won on the 12th. Hit the ball great, putted great, partner off 15 made no big errors. Out opponents didn't really do anything wrong but we just made loads of pars.

Do enjoy team golf and rooting for your playing partner. Played quite a few Silloths and once won at the Braids. Could maybe have more two player team comps at my club, might suggest it unless I've missed them in the calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Skacel Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Played well today. Just 3 bad shots cost me. A drive into the trees on 9, ended up with double, a duff chip on 11, ended up with bogey and a poor approach shot on 12. Ended up with double. Shot an 82 for a nett 70.

The size of baws on me, honestly! 🤣 I put my mate 100 yards from the green on 18, they put their tee shot behind a tree. All my mate had to do was hit the green...pulled it into a bunker. Down to a playoff. He topped his tee shot, I then put him to 100 yards short of the green again (par 5). What does he do? Bunker!! Fortunately he managed to drain the putt for the win.

I'm hitting the ball as well as I ever have, and putting decent as well, but my mid range pitching has gone to shit!!! Used to be so reliable but it's something that is borne out of feel and confidence and it's just not there at the moment. So frustrating, I had 70yds for my second to 18 at Broomie open on Sunday and walked off with a double after a chunk followed by a blade!!! 😡🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The wrist hinge. How do you do it? Start early or wait until near the top? Closed club face, neutral or open? I've mucked around plenty over the years but tend to prefer a closed club face. Do get good distance and height but don't have enough 'lag' in my on the downswing making my swing a bit inconsistent. What's the secret to lots of lag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
