Samuel Camazzola Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It is the 15th yeah. I went hybrid and then a flick of a wedge as you say it's the smart play. Got a cracking picture of it, I'll try post it. It become a bog as the rain got heavier, I don't think it'll be all that playable over the winter. I recall you mentioned you played at Burntisland last year. What is it like there for winter golf? I have this impression it would be reasonable due to the terrain.

I believe they'll be full greens where possible as they are part of Golf in Scotland's winter competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thinking of getting a practice net for the garden. Anyone got one? Are they stable, robust any use for driving? Any feedback much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thinking of getting a practice net for the garden. Anyone got one? Are they stable, robust any use for driving? Any feedback much appreciated Not a net but I once had a practice device that comprised a metal plate with spikes that you stuck in the ground. There was a bracket with a golf ball drilled through and tethered that, once hit, was designed to spin around a spindle. I only used it for the first time after not being able to swing a club in weeks after injury. A few practice swings in the back garden and then on to hitting this tethered ball. One swipe and the ball was off over the roofs and down the street. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StSow Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Had 2 rounds over the weekend, 35 points on Saturday and scratch 72 yesterday, The course was pure white yesterday morning with frost but the putts were flying in. Became guess work towards the end of the round with some greens staying frozen and the ball seemingly hitting concrete, and others the ball was getting spun back of the front. Happy with how I played though and very enjoyable despite not being able to feel my feet it was so cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar for me at Aberdour yesterday as well, course was a mix of winter and full greens and you had no idea how they were going to react. Still stuck in a +13 round, that's 3 +13 rounds in a row. No coincidence at all that my fairway hit % has been 86%, 92% and 83% and the scores have tumbled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looking to be getting out once a week over the winter, dont want to regress and spend the first month of next season playing catch up.

Armageddon Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Anybody interest in a Titleist 915H #3 (21 degree hybrid with Diamana Red regular shaft).

Same for me, I'm now changing to the 816H ... just because! No reason other than I have the chance to. Landing this bad boy on the green from 210 and the stop you get is class I'll probably have AP1 714 irons available soon for ?275 if anybody fancies them - I'm one of these clowns that still use irons covers (until maybe 4 weeks ago) so they're in excellent condition ...

True Temper XP95 R300 Not watched this review but here's a quick pick from YouTube to save you hunting I've only have them a season and will be replacing with Titleist. I've also got 52, 56 and 60 SM6 Vokey wedges, genuinely in the bag for one round and hit a dozen balls with each on the range ... I'd sell them for ?250 for the 3.

Samuel Camazzola Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Tiger's return is this week. Hopefully he doesn't produce a late withdrawal. Based on his practice, it looks as though he will be playing a TaylorMade driver, PXG putter and Bridgestone ball. Still has Nike irons despite the rumours linking him with Mizuno.
