Yeh i understand what you are saying, i always laugh when im playing with friends if one of us hits a cracking tee shot way past everyone elses and feels really smug...but then ends up getting a 6/7 on that hole when everyone else gets a 4/5

Well just got in from playing a local course i have only ever played once before, i got 87 on a par 62.... inc 3 pars and

1 birdie

I'm happy, its my second birdie i've ever had! It sounds rubbish but its a handicap of 25. What let me down today was hooking the ball left...a lot... i can't figure out why i have suddenly started to do this.

What went well today was little chip shots, it reallyed helped what some of you had said, thanks.

Did you try it before you bought it, how much was it?

I'm having some serious issues with hooking left at the moment!

Not had chance to try it out at the course yet, working too much

BTW, if anyone else wants the irons from the OP, there is a US golf open special on @ directgolf and they can be had for £299:

Bah only girls have a trolley! And big girls have a trolley that moves by itself

I carry it around the whole course.

I am a real man.

Andr3w · 14 Jul 2009 at 14:55

I must have been doing something wrong then (Although i did hit around 100ish balls) as i am physically quite fit.

Andr3w · 14 Jul 2009 at 18:10

Yeh i think thats it, my hips don't turn, but when i do turn my hips i miss the ball etc
