Hey Gaz, if memory serves me correctly from football you were left sided. Are you playing left handed clubs too? I could be totally wrong and your right handed but just a thought!
Anyway, I bought myself some clubs 3 weeks ago after not playing in 10 years. Absolutely kicking myself that I ever gave it up. Played 18 at Melville 2 weeks ago and shot 95 (9 hole course, +15 for front 9, +14 for back 9 so slight improvement!). Played Turnhouse on Friday morning which is a difficult course and shot 99. It could have been so much better as I missed about 7 par opportunities and ended up +1 or +2 on those holes due to very poor putting within 8 feet. It's pretty frustrating but I suppose the only way to improve is to practice, practice, practice.
My driving is going very well though, I'm regular hitting 220-260 yards accurately off the tee. I'm not too bad with my wedges, vast majority are weighted well. I've found difficulties with my fairway woods and my mid irons though, about half of them just seem to rocket along the ground 70-100 yards or so. Something I'm going to try and improve at the range. I've generally been going to the range 2 or 3 times a week to keep myself practicing.
Going to play either 9 or 18 at Meville again tomorrow and see if I can improve on my scores. Set myself a target of +10 for the 9 holes.
