Played a round on Thursday, worst score for an age on a day we were doing handicap cards. hcp up from 23.6 > 26.6 Aiming for mid teens by end of summer. I have gone around in low 90s/high 80s so its in me. Got 4 pars and jut had a handful of nightmare holes.
Went down the range yesterday, about 50 balls shanked / thinned and my driving was dire, then started hitting well again so i guess i've got it out of my system. Got my longest recorded drive to which was a little over 250, only did that once though:)
Bought 3 TM TP5X balls on sale for £9 and a pack of TM speedsoft ink balls ready for the next round.
 
Course is absolutely bogging still - played 12 holes and called it a day in the rain and wind as well as a soaking wet course.... Way thing are going, needs 7-10 days of dry weather or it's going to really struggle for a few months.

Hitting the ball good and keen to get season off and running but course isn't playing ball.
 
If I was fit I would have played again today, but my sensible head won and I turned down the chance to play with a couple of the guys today - probably not a bad thing as the weather here hasn't been great

Hoping to play 9 on Monday, then another physio session later in the week before a 2 day pairs event at Close House next week
 
Got my car through it's MOT this morning and then headed pretty much straight out to the course :p

Played terribly today. First time playing my local in a while it feels like (been spending a bunch of time on the car, and the weather before that) and compared to the course in Bristol it's so much harder, add in being an 18 hole medal and some healthy breeze it was tough out there. Good fun though, felt I putted really well although the stats don't show it but lots of <1 foot tap ins so can't complain, also my partial wedges were solid as well. Full swings not so much, bit all over the shop, 2 lost balls, and ended with a 10! A 10! Hate to see it :cry:

Might go back out again tomorrow, hernia seems absolutely fine but actually my back is feeling it more, carrying two days in a row is a lot but in Bristol tomorrow and the buggies are allowed back on the fairways so might go full lazy mode :p
 
Got my first handicap come in at 24 but I feel that flatters me.
I simply can not hit irons anymore with any consistency. At least when I had an awful swing it was consistently awful so I could still have some fun. Now I've got no swing at all. Anything can happen every shot.

Might be time for some lessons again I think, but I'd like to have some with someone that can watch me hit off grass.

Do you sometimes just feel like giving up Golf? There are times when I feel like it's not worth it. Having just shelled out so much to actually be able to play it feels a really sickening to not be able to even hit the ball anywhere near even an average strike. I feel like something fundamental is wrong. I feel after 18 holes like my back is done... Like I have an inefficient swing. It feels so hard on my body to play golf....but then when you hit 100+ a round that's a lot of shots I guess.
