Can't fault it.... up to 200 yards it was within 2 yards of a mates £500 bushnell... and about 4 yards up to 250...
Accurate enough for my game!

Too early to say!
Scrap that, still there lol. Back to the drawing board!
Club championships this weekend 2 day event. Of course the other half has a sleepless night so decides to wake me up with the blinding light of an iPad. Been up since 0300, Tee off at 0858.
Had a lesson the other day, first one this year as a tune up. Left hand was too strong (right handed golfer) so weakened that off a bit and the overdraws have all but gone unless I catch it out the toe. All in all can't say I feel the most confident I've ever felt but hey, will find out in a few hours.

Watched the back 9-ish of that round, he's forgotten how to putt again, d'oh
Looks like he made the cut though, but at 10 back from the lead surely he has no chance... Surely...
Brutal out there this morning! So windy and with rain on the front nine impossible to keep gloves, hands dry. Shanked several which I'm putting down to the club slipping in hand. Lost track of the number of times my trolley got blown over, eventually learned to park it facing into the wind
Dried out back nine but hard to keep a stance at times. Suffice to say many balls lost and high scoring. One of my playing partners did well scoring 30 pts to be joint top of div 2. 32 pts saw three players atop div 1. Think that's the lowest stableford scoring I've ever seen!
Edit: Round now up on MyEG. Six bogey's, the rest worse including several caps for a 109 gross.

Came in 4 shots off the lead, 88 for 74. With an 8 on our 17th, Par 4, lost 2 balls 
. Was feeling tired at that point and the swing started to fall off. Still, leads me in contention to attack the course tomorrow. Hopefully after a full nights sleep!

Hopefully after a full nights sleep!Just got back from an impromptu Saturday round, brought up in the group chat about maybe doing two rounds tomorrow as the weather looks nice and someone mentioned playing Shrivenham so why not
It was super windy, and for some reason the greens were insanely fast for Shrivenham, struggled a lot. Also after going to the short game group lesson yesterday morning I of course couldn't chip to save my life today
All told one to forget, I did manage to save my playing partner 6+ shots by finding his stray tee shots though, he beat me by 7. Note to self...

Played my local 9 hole today. Shot 45, over the moon in all honesty. Definitely the best I have ever hit the ball on the course.
Sad about the double and treble bogey but didn't let it get to me and recovered to play very respectable golf after.
This is the scorecard for reference;
On the 8th and 9th in particular something clicked with my driver and I hit a 229 and 189 respectively, the 9th with a 189 was nice because there was 220yrd (ish) hazard I didn't want to hit so tried to just hit a good placement and then fired in a great PW after.
Note the 46 club isn't a 46deg wedge, its my chipr but Shotscope doesn't recognise this as its own club!

Have been struggling with my driver lately. Confidence with it has dropped and at times I haven't been using it and opting for my 3 wood.
Then on Wednesday night I checked out Titleist sure fit page to see if I could change anything. I was reluctant too due to being fitted but I guess everyone's swing changes slightly.
So my TSR3 is set at B1 and with the weighting natural.
I have then changed my club to A1 and moved my weight to H1 (Heel 1) and it gives me the feeling I can get my release right and square up the club face more on impact.
Played Friday morning and the results. WOW. Confidence through the roof and gained easily 30+ yards. My playing partner even said "I've never seen you hit it so far.". I was out driving him by 30 to 40 yards.
Lets hope this continues through the summer

I really like Bryson, but for me, good contact is all i care about these days

love his scientific approach to the game. Simple things which can make a huge difference to his game
Milesey from Amazon, I’ve also compared it to a bushnell and it’s spot on with lock on, vibrations, magnet and rechargeable
Played 36 holes today, first time ever although I've played 27 a few times. All in a buggy though, sod walking that much
Started out super hot, +1 through 6, then it kinda fell apart for a +23 overall, not terrible for me but not great and after that start it was awful.
Then out on the other course there for the secound round, started a bit slow but steady then on the back 9 really played well, right until the last hole where it all went wrong Pickup/cap but got an +18 overall, tied my best round on that course, good times 
That's really impressive, congrats
