yeah I am learning that while it might be sexy to try and punch out a 4 iron through trees, I am not anywhere near good enough to do that. So taking the 7i shot back into the fairway and walking away with a bogey or trying to up and down for par is helping me. Watching a lot of Rick Shiels videos at the moment which are helping.
I am normally the other way round... my range shots (yesterday especially) all veered seriously left when I got on the course i had for the most part got rid of that problem..
Keep it up bandit
and don't beat yourself up when the shit rounds come along because they will Likewise and they seem to be happening more lately, I blame the Bermuda grass I play on, its a bit of a mare this time of year.I’ve been playing twenty years and regularly shoot worse scores than that.
Aye that's me too, almost tour player like on the range
and sometimes hideous on the course Just about to tee off. Sweating like a nonce here but yet another great ball striking session on the range. See you in 4 hours for a 95.Keep it up bandit
Course management is the key, don't be doing hero shots, keep it on the short stuff, keep stats, as this will quickly show you where you a losing shots and where to make the improvements.

I've been preferring Danny Maude recently.
Rick did nowt for me teaching wise. Only ones I watch now are Chris Ryan for the technical stuff, Danny Maude for how its put into practice and Marcus Bell at Zen golf for making it look as simple as it should be (it isnt though is it, but I like the concept
).So... 95 or better, 84 myself with an 8 on a par 4

Still a f4cking bandit.....
Probably a combination of the new iron set and the afternoon conditions oh and no/little humidity.Still a f4cking bandit.....
Yup, different times of the day, temps and altitude can affect ball distances, though I'm not sure by two clubs though. Wind probably has more affect. We have a par 3 at my home course and its a normal 6/5i and I've played it with a 7i to driver and all because of the wind conditions.
I dont mind it. A couple of weak holes but the 17th is f***ing stupid.I played the Cathedral at Ramside yesterday. Nothing flash is it? Nice pint of neck oil to finish though.
I love stories like this as it's part of what makes golf great. An old boy coming in with a score like that in a large field is superb and so much better than a 24 year old 37 handicapper who chops it round winning a comp.I've just closed a competition at Castle Eden tonight and a 84 year old won it by scoring 43 points in a stableford comp. It's a fantastic achievement at any age to win a competition but beating another 130 golfers at that age is special. He's had a healthy 3.2 reduction and his handicap is now 14.4
His chipping video where he got a lesson was mint. I've hit a few corkers lately.
It really is. He's a lovely man, at no point in his latter years would he think he'd have his name on a board again.
