Golf Thread

Went to the range today for my weekly session, went for 100 balls which was/is imo a mistake, too many/I get bored. Think I hit ~85 before giving up and going home :p 60 is the perfect number I reckon.

Some reasonable stuff/work, it's been a while actually since I've been on the range/launch monitor and seems my path is definitely improved again so that's nice to see and generally hit a bunch of decent shots. Went for it a bit with the driver and got several high-90's but still no magical 100mph, work to do :p

Also after watching 'the grid' stuff on YouTube (Is it Golf Digest that do it with pros?) I did my own variant, they do 180-280 in 10 blocks of 10 yards whilst I did 80-180, took me 27 shots to complete all 10 distances, not great but a marker to work on.

I would absolutely come too.
 
Went to a newly opened indoor sim place last night. Full trackman setup, can get loads of data which is really helpful. Not the cheapest (post-introductory discount, a bay for up to 4 players, for 2 hours would be £85 :eek:). Got a good deal on an hour, with a free half hour as there wasn't a booking after us. Some good fun on the "range", then played 18 holes - including 9 holes at +7000ft of elevation, so got some ridiculous numbers (245 yard 4-iron, 365yd drives anyone) :D

Be interesting to see how it does, I don't think there's a massive market for simulator golf in the UK, especially once the weather warms up. I personally think it's too expensive to practice as a solo, but may be worth it for a small group of you.

It also highlighted how **** I am at golf
 
I don't have Sky Sports so have little/no interest in it really :p

The teams though, like LIV, having a team event where the teams are entirely arbitrary just seems so weird... Especially when they're places, specifically US places with a bunch of non-US golfers who have seemingly zero ties to that location.

The tech does looks absolutely mental/great though :D
