Golf Progress Thread

Played Sweetwoods Park 4 weeks ago, first time there in about 4 years ago, really loved it, top course in great condition for the time of year. Greens just gave you so much confidence you expected to hole everything inside 12 feet.

Played again today in horrid condition at my home course (CBGC) in a 4some match. Partner failed to bring any form at all sadly, but made a game of it and lost on the last.

Can't offer HDID annoyingly as my club doesn't update to it, but aim to get from current 5.1 to a playing HC of 3 this year with a decent run in the scratch team.
 
Still having issues adding further links onto the top thread. Hopefully I shall figure it out so I can add everyone's.

Dale its not been long since I last played Sweetwoods. Its a great course in the summer and the greens are always in top condition.

So Saturday I had another winter foursomes match which was interesting. We were 1up through 9 and ended up winning 5up with 5 to play because the other person walked off in a strop. Wouldn't shake our hands either. I see him in the clubhouse yesterday and he apologised but it wouldn't change my opinion of him too much!

Sunday I had a charity event winning nearest to pin, longest drive and also holed out after the longest drive for eagle. Unfortunately the rest of the round was shocking and come in with 29 points haha!

Then lastly had midweek stableford yesterday and shot 36 points with 4 3 putts in the mix! Devastated as that could have got me into my single figures for the end of the year!
 
91 for me today. Progress as I'm a mid to late 90s player. At the 16th I was well on course for a late 80s score but a bogey and double bogey on 17 and 18 screwed it up for me.

Was also about 3ft away from a hole in one on a par3. Ended up with a par :rolleyes:
 
Had a monthly medal yesterday not swang a club in 3 weeks had some serious issues, ended up scoring 98 - less my handicap 78. 8 over par was in a bit of a foul mood afterward then thought to myself that 3 weeks without playing only 8 over I can accept.
 
Update: I have removed the links to personal profiles so I can add more people to the top post. If I see any handicaps that have improved I will update is manually for the time being until I can fix the issue. In the mean time we could just go to the links each of us posted.

As for the weekend of golf, it was a great weekend for me! Normal swindle on Saturday and won with 36 playing off of 4. The team also won the front nine so I was up £17 on the day. Yesterday was my last day to get my handicap to single figures which was my aim for the year and shot a 43 pointer playing off 10. Howdidido have cut me to 8.3 so I would say that's a success to the end of the year!

Anyone use Golfshot here?

I used to use golfshot all the time. The main reason being it was really easy to track your stats and see what part of your game was lacking. I also used the GPS for a while however I don't find this accurate enough to feel confident over the ball. When I got the rangefinder I stopped using the GPS but carried on using the stat tracker.
 
One for the shaftoids out there.

Im currently smashing a 7m3 black tie stiff in a 2014 big bertha 10.5 degree with +1 on the dial. Im after something like this for my 3 wood bertha but I just cant get an 8m3 in the uk.

Problem is even if I could I can decide on if I should have a shaft that promotes a lightly higher ball flight for pitch and stop par 5 duties.

Any suggestions of which way I should go and what options I might try?

I would suggest heading over to a golf forum called The Hackers Paradise (US based but a fair few UK members as well) as there are a lot of knowledgeable people on there, but also a number of actual shaft company people as well who could give you some suggestions
 
Finally got out this saturday not swung a club or 3 weeks and it was to be expected. Shot a solid 26 points 20 over 90 gross, didnt lose a ball had a chip in and a birdie but the rest as you can imagine was tripe. Didnt enjoy it one bit

Oh well there's always next week hopefully
 
Its that birdie that makes you play again Stuie!

Played a few rounds in aus which was strange. Playing approach shots into greens with Kangaroos chilling around them haha. Was a shock to the system coming back to sub zero temperatures. Playing Sat and Sun with 27 points through 16 Saturday and then the course closed due to for. 30 Points on Sunday which was satisfied with!
 
3 birdies on the front 9 but sadly also mixed with 2 lost ball.

35 points but excluding the two blobs i was just +5 over 16 holes so a good smack today
