hmfc_liam06 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 4th hole @ Murrayshall yesterday. Cracking par 3. 150 yards with a pond front and trees surrounding the green. Huge cross wind as well made it a tough little hole! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Oh. Sorry to hear this, m8. :'> Out of curiosity, in all seriousness, how did you get on overall? I've not looked above so if you've posted it already, sorry for me being lazy. Up and down from the trees though! Bit of an indifferent round, good front 9 (17 points) and a collapse back 9 with 3 no scores at 15/16/17. Good day though that's the main thing...right?

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Well, aye. My 2nd round of the year was punctuated with a disaster front 9, where I had 3 triples & a double. To then be levelled out by 4 pars & a 20 yard chip in birdie. Was more interested in how my clubs were going to fare, than actual scoring. 147 yard par 3, &15 yards over the back with my 8 iron. Hmmm... Strong wind? Haha. I've actually noticed my new irons aren't a great deal longer but the flight and certainly the consistency is far better. I'm also probably losing a bit of distance as I've weakened my grip considerably from where it was so not closing the club face so much.

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Back to shot tracking...Bigsmak, how does the technology differentiate between shot type? For example I often chip with an iron, that's going to drag the average distance down considerably? Or can you revisit the round and determine that the shot was a chip?

For example I often chip with an iron, that's going to drag the average distance down considerably? Or can you revisit the round and determine that the shot was a chip?Regarding my 8 iron.. I've only recorded 3 shots with it so it's squewd. It takes away your longest shots and shortest ones. It can ignore Duff's, as a couple of my irons were Conley duffed. My SAW for example, a lot of shots ate 20 yrds but it ignores them as well. Other stats i get are putts, GIR fairways in reg. Where i miss is it left right etc. Lots of info.

Armageddon Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 34, that's good. Noticed one of the young lads went round in a great score. I'm still not sure if we can make Swanston, which will be a shame if we miss it, as it's their home course. That's me just entered them for Gogarburn, so we'll definitely see you there.

Would probably be off about 22 if he had a handicap. Uses hybrids off tees as the driver is honestly wild when he tries to use it. Like 90 degrees right stuff.

Gogarburn is decent for them, one thing to note is the practice putting green there bear's no resemblance to the speed of the course greens! It's usually lightening then the course is slower - stay out the bunkers and water! Look forward to hearing how you get on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StSow Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm playing peebles on Thursday. Anybody played it? Is it good? Not played it for a couple years but I remember it being one of the better border town courses. Starts with 200ish yards par 3 which is never great but apart from that it's pretty good. Not too hilly and not particularly tight. Then again I've been pumped in both matches I've played at peebles so I've not seen the last 3 or 4 holes. Enjoy!

I'd probably say the only deal that betters it is The St Andrews Links Trust if you have a St Andrews post code. I'm sure the subs are under ?200 for access to half a dozen courses.

Armageddon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Anybody fancy some golf shoes? Both in really good condition. Selling as I've bought Nike Lunar Control 4's and Spieth Ones. Hyperflex I had for last season and the AWD I bought after driving up north to arrive and discover I'd left my Hyperflex at home! Doh, only worn for 6 rounds up north (6 winning rounds BTW!). They're both drying having been given and full shampoo inside and out so actual pics can follow. Footjoy Hyperflex in a size 9 - they're used but in good condition (green and navy) and Footjoy AWD in a size 9 - used but in good condition (white and navy) Any sensible(ish) offer considered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
