New Golf Season - High Hopes?

[greenlex]

Well?
October this weekend. Season will be over for me after a visit to Panmure this coming Sunday. Weather looks challenging to say the least so I reckon it won’t be on my yellow list. How has everyone done versus expectations? I’ve pleasantly surprised myself at my age. If my putter had been remotely warm it would have been even better. Handicap index was at 12 at one point and should finish at 6.4 ish. Delighted with that considering the amount of golf I’ve played particularly away from home.

I normally play all through the winter, never been a fair weather golfer. Had a good start and end to the season, won a few comps early doors and one big one at the end.

In the middle though i hurt my back hoovering the bloody car 3 months ago, and battled through but never did myself any favours because i amended my swing to compensate.

Round after round of 23 points or 25 points took my handicap from a decent 7.1 up to 10.9.

As my back improved so did my scores, although i have been playing to around 11 for a few weeks now, except from a 40 points off the yellows and a 39 off the blue tee's.

I feel i will be back down to around 7-8 soon, as i know i have better rounds in me, but again fate has struck and i fell over Saturday night and damaged my ribs while taking my jeans off, i might have been a bit pished, and landed on the corner of my bed.

I think i wont be able to play for a week or two, but after that i'm sure i will be back to a good standard again.

Oh yes, and i got my first hole in one this season.

Just found out I won my clubs merit cup by 4 shots. Best 8 net scores over the season. Thirty odd years and only my second gong. Cheesing.

Well done Eck!

Looks like I won't quite get to single figures this year. Finishing the season on 10.2

Not too bad considering I started around 14.3

I've had a couple of seasons where i've come down to 7 then up again to 12 then back down to 9 where i am at the moment.

I have been playing with Ping G25's for the last 8 or 9 years, and they have served me well, but i went for a fitting last week, open minded to anything they had, but i did have my eye on the Ping G425 irons.

Anyway after trying everything they had, Titelist, Callaway, Tayor made, Muzuno and Cobra, i plumped for the new Cobra LTD irons, christ they were good, they suited me much more than any other clubs, and the distance is huge compared to my old set of clubs.

Looking forward now to the new season like a 10 year old.

After playing off 7 when I left to moved to Ireland (2006) I stopped playing till two years ago & joined my local club..Its a great course but Im terrible! Playing off 15 & so erratic with my irons. Drivings no probs, long & straight & puttings pretty good but the bit in the middle has me tearing my hair out. I'm gonna aim to play more and get down to 10, once a week with no other practice is no good. Good luck to everyone for the season
