A swing fit for lawn bowls if ever I've seen one.

[Rudi Skacel]

Good way to get rid of a shank 

[Rudi Skacel]

Could believe that

Starting to move in the right direction. The Stealth making the difference along with the fairway woods and hybrid. I've dumped the 3 and 4 irons, which has made room for more wedges, tho the lob is probably not needed. The 5 iron is next to be dumped, if I can get another hybrid or 7 wood. 

Just need to sink more Par putts and take the few birdie chances. 

 

Oh and don't stand on rocks in the burn. No Robbie, slipping.

Lob wedge is one of my most used clubs.

I just use it for certain bunkers.

Had the week off so plenty golf played this week. 
 

5 rounds, 5 35pt scores. Never had that happen before, certainly consistent

[Sex Panther]

Thought I'd put in here given the area and he's a good Jambo.

 

Mate had full set of clubs and trolley nicked from the Shandon area last week (between Thursday and Saturday) - not sure of the complete bag, but it had RBZ irons and was in a Blue Taylor Made bag.

 

If anyone hears of anything similar out there, please let me know.

Where did you play?

[Samuel Camazzola]

Bank Holiday chop around the Torrance today. Easily the best greens I've putted on in a long time. 👌🏼Same pin positions as yesterday's Asian Tour event. 

 

Didn't help me hole anything though. +2

Just played Newbattle, what a brilliant wee course. Probably the best conditioned course I’ve played this year.

Great course. First hole with OB left and just beyond the green makes it a tense start!

I’d been meaning to play it for a while as I’d heard good things so took the chance today - good call! 
 

I don’t think it’s the most exhilarating of courses but the condition more than makes up for it, was great seeing the attention to detail the greenkeepers were going into today as well. They’re definitely a credit to the club.

 

And yeah, I made sure I was right of the tree on the first

 

Will definitely head back for their open.

Bob Mac and Fitzpatrick secured places to Rome. Aaberg to get a pick despite only joining pro ranks in June?

Kept seeing the advert on facebook and to be fair I hardly ever clean my clubs. So thought id give this a go. Also got a free trial with arccos for 45 days so that will be interesting.

I've got one but I find it a bit bulky for my liking for taking on the course but it's really handy for cleaning clubs at home. 

[Tommy Brown]

A bit less faff

Have one of these attached to my bag.

What do you play off?

 

[Rudi Skacel]

11. Just one of those days!

[kila]

One would raise an eyebrow that you may be wanting to nudge your handicap up for the start of the '24 season

 

Worst I've shot is 24 pts, even during a stinker the closing holes at my course I usually manage to salvage enough to not be completely embarrassed.

 

Also enjoy scrolling down to see who's been disqualified for not signing their card

30 points is usually the target. Was glad i just made 20. Hopefully this will never be a counting round!!!

[escobri]

Another good video from tubes here with a great wee Sevy story from Dame Laura Davies, also she refuses to give shots on the par 3's. 😀

Loved this one, really like Laura. I have been watching Tubes from the start. Bringing Jimmy on board has taken it to the next level. 

Agreed, just watched the episode with Ben Shepard and big Dunc got a mention, now that would be epic if he featured alongside Jimmy.🤣

If you’re coming here for hugs after a shite round it might not be the place for you 🫣

Oh im quite happy to laugh at my bad rounds. It was pathetic really. Just cba with someone who im assuming is decent at the game, lording it over others. Especially when they never say their scores.
