I think it's been about 5 years now since we talked of a SN golf day!

My club is awesome, not the best course in the world but the members are great and always have a good laugh in the bar afterwards! I played fookin awful last night and just couldn't feel a golf swing, managed to grind it out in four over par though

 

I often like to give that latter "old skool snooty nosed" golfers a good whooping when I play at my club, that seems to put them firmly in their place!!! Especially as I do it while strictly adhering to the rules & etiquettes of the game. You'l always get them, some clubs are far worse than others but if you play the game properly with good decorum & know the rules, you have nothing to worry about.

 

Simple, take the jeans off!

Iv always thought it sounded a nice game for folk who can no longer / never could be arsed to move very quickly



i guess potentailly theres more snobbery involved than yachting too

 

Golf isn't is easy is what people think .

 

people would think it's easy to play as bad as i am at the moment, infact it's quite hard

i'll ruin the thread and get the golfers running off...........i've caught the shanks it's utterly soul destroying if i'm being serious

 

Ohhh the S word!

How bad is it and how often are you hitting cows and horses in the fields next to the tee boxes?!

 

 

the S word, i can almost hear a few golfers heartrate going up at the very mention of it

bad? yes. i suppose 1 in every 5 iron shots, not restricted to short irons either. i put a 5 iron into the bushes last time out. on a pitch and putt i'd be fooked.

swing is too flat and too fast, i'm getting it back but i've got into a bad habit so the correct swing just doesn't feel right. i've never lost so many golf *****

 

Show off!

 

Was that gross or net could be 4 over a 26 handicap lol

 

it sounds like you need a new set of clubs... that will help loads

 

buy your way out of trouble, always works

nah, the clubs are less than a year old anyway (TM Burner 09) nothing wrong with them, i just need to stop swinging like a ****

i've been playing for about 20 years now and have been between 9 and 11 for 6 years and i've never hit a ball so badly as i am now

golf....90% mental, 10% mental

 

Bit hard too blame those tools fella
The bottom bit is very right though - maybe you should try reading books by Dr Bob Rotella, which contain no technical information whatsoever
"Putting out of your mind" is a pretty good and easy read.

 

or watch this, it will help....

Just had a quick knock about on a 6 hole par 3 course attached to where I live, and bugger me with a sand wedge if I didn't just get a hole in one - what a feeling fo self-congratulation. Typically, no one there to witness the miracle. It was just after watching the above link too. Cheers salsa-king.

 

Apparently a shank is very close to being a good shot according to certain Mr Poulter

 

an inch away from perfection so i'm told

then again that makes it about 1/2" away from missing it all together

the practice gets tried out tommorow at the very joyfull time of 7.40 AM (i wasn't aware there was time before about 9 AM on a sunday, but there you go) really looking forward to the first iron shot, with O.O.B to right

 

I should really give golf a go, there are a stupid number of clubs in our town, two of them being very close indeed. Tempted to try Glenn abbey as it is whre the national is aparently played, but I suspect it will be **** central, Kensington fords all over the car park

I have played one full round before and it wasn't too bad. Took quite a while, but we let those behind us play through so as not to hold them up too much. 19th hole was by far the best though

I too would have serious issues with snobs thinking they are better than myself because they have money. Methinks a lesson about class might educate them that the trully wealthty tend not to be so vulgar and might even wish to aid a player who is just starting out
