Tommy Brown Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 80 tonight at Pumphy. Getting there, 12.0 now. Still getting edgy. 3 doubles. One at 16 will haunt me for a while. Recovered with 2 pars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask him if there was a difference between the various gadgets and fair play to him there was but only a few yards. He did say that when you know how far you hit with all your irons then you become a better golfer, I suppose that's maybe one of the reasons why his handicap was a lot lower than mine. Three gadgets did still seem excessive though. Edited July 8, 2023 by Statts1976uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Good final day of the LIV Golf.

No wonder the course was dead between 1pm and 5pm on a Saturday afternoon. Ended up walking off leaving out 5 holes, covered in flies at every hole. The course gives no challenge actually loose interest after 3 or 4 holes . We have played there a few times but reckon that will be the last time. My closest course, but I can't disagree with what you say. Especially about those horse flies it's brutal in certain parts round here in July.

Sex Panther Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Anyone got any tips on a particular insect repellant that works against horseflies? Was absolutely savaged by them a couple of years ago down the borders. They have a wonderful knack of biting just as you're starting your downswing!

(That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!! 🤪) I've tried EVERY make and type of insect repellent over nearly 40 years of working outside, but have still to find something that keeps clegs from biting, have used Smidge for years now and find it the best for midges and contains no Deet so is much more user friendly. The closest thin I'd say was "effective" against clegs is the citronella oil for horses, I spray it on clothing, it seems to reduce the amount of bites I get but doesn't stop it.

I getback some good striking, then for some reason it goes mid round, then i try too hard to get it back, and my card goes to pot. Went out for some on course practice this morning, just to get some club yardage and green speed after the heavy rain. The greens are now becoming soft enough to go fo the pin, tho the fairways weren't as long. Lookin forward to the medal on Saturday.
