it is meant to be about enjoyment your right and not another money sink !

For me, part of the enjoyment is in playing well. Sure, it's nice to be out there on a warm, sunny day, and ultimately playing golf is better than not playing, but I still get frustrated if I'm playing badly and end up stewing on it until my next round. Imo lessons are the fastest route to lower scores so for me personally it's worth the cost.

Then fair enough

Played on Friday, god awful round! Need to get down the range and figure it out. Also entered my first tournament for the end of the month.

Been cut down to 10 so heading nicely towards single figues

Nice one

Finally had my driver delivered, if it's not bent in two I'll be able to use it finally! After having just got used to my 1-Wood from the 80s

Got a ping Sigma 2 Fetch putter on Tuesday, really nice putter. Tried out the stroke lab putters, the other ping sigma ones, a scotty cameron and a couple of normal oddesey ones. The one i got felt the best. The stroke lab ones looked the best but just didn't like them when putting.
What driver have you got Delvis?
I had a look in the shop on Tuesday and they're all quite pricey apart from a 2nd hand ping g400 at £200 or a Callaway Xr speed at £200 but with fitted shafts. Think i'll try the callaway against my cobra baffler and see how it compares.

Rory with a nightmare start

robfosters · 18 Jul 2019 at 10:24

What a rotten start for Rory. 4 over after one hole :eek:

Might be 71 holes to go, but still say that’s unrecoverable, particularly on this course.

2004typer · 18 Jul 2019 at 15:27

What a disaster for Rory - triple bogey on the last!

Cob · 18 Jul 2019 at 15:40

Bookies will be dancing in the rain

Cob · 18 Jul 2019 at 18:03

Rahmbo looking good.

Tiger looking like he needs a buggy.

Yup, driver works. Can't moan anyway

Come on McIlroy.......one more birdie needed!

chrismscotland · 19 Jul 2019 at 20:20

I have to say it’s tough to see Rory’s interview after not making the cut, clearly gutted, especially after he’s done so much to get it there in the first place.

Anyone else willing Lee Westwood on.. would love to see him finally lift a major.

Ryan-3 · 20 Jul 2019 at 07:55

Would love to see that to be honest.

Will be missing a good section of the early play, as we're off to hopefully brave clouds and not rain..

I'd love it if Westwood won, really deserves to have a major in the bag, and I think the Open would mean the most to him.
