Played the Golf Pairs thing at Cricket St. Thomas today, early start (alarm at 4:30!!) cause I got the tee time in a sale when it was £15. Ended up in a two ball, was supposed to be a 3 ball but the 3-ball ahead had 2 people not turn up so rather than merging into a 4-ball we split into 2x 2-balls which makes way more senseGot round pretty quickly all told.
Course was decent, good condition given the rain recently, bit soft in places but for the most part some nice bounce and roll out. Apparently they get quite windy sometimes being elevated a bit but today was lovely, sunny and calm.
Played ok to start off with but just fell apart on the back 9, got 14 points on the front 9 and 6 on the back. Ouch.
Given I had the lesson yesterday I basically ignored that for today, although I did feel my Iron striking had improved, not going left but much better than it had been so probably retained some muscle memory of getting the face closed. Putting was terrible. Driving went off the boil. Why do we play this terrible game
Used to be in all the time, now it's out almost all the time, but kinda don't mind, as long as the flag stick isn't leaning towards me I'll leave it in if others don't want it out. Today's round and my usual bunch everyone is generally happy with it out so it was out all the time.
Recently got the Garmin R10 for the local range, seems to work pretty well for the most part. Not tried it in a net yet though, I think for home stuff in the net you'd want to get the RCT balls for improved accuracy but dunno if I'd bother if you're talking about nets at courses for warmup?
There's other options as well, think the Rhapsodo MLM2 Pro needs the dotted balls for spin data though which doesn't seem great for range usage at least. @Zeebedy replaced his with something else didn't he? Or am I thinking of someone else...
yes mate, I went down the route of a SkyTrak+ unit. top machine, very accurate and simple to use.
