lichtie23 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Beginning to find a bit of solid form and my enjoyment for the game again this weekend. Hit 2 over my handicap yesterday in pretty atrocious conditions so was chuffed with that and today played 9 holes in 3 under my handicap. Maybe it’s a confidence thing or maybe it’s luck! Who knows. Handicap rocketed to 11 this month and going by my calculations it will be 10.4 tomorrow after my weekend rounds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is all of us, just a bit betterWe've definitely all been there, have the perfect shot all thought out in our head, then catch it fat as f**k and come up 50 yards short.

I have always found that when I have the perfect lie, and the perfect line in to the green, with the perfect club in my hand, I f**k it up becasue im just that bit keener to get the head up and watch that perfect sucker flying into the heart of the green..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sometimes a curse hitting a ball straight down the centre of the fairway and leaving yourself 140 yards to the green with a perfect lie. Because even though all previous evidence points to me being a pretty terrible golfer, I all of a sudden start imagining myself playing a nice baby fade that’s going to land softly 10 feet infront of the pin and roll up to the hole, leaving a tap in birdie. What proceeds to happen is I thin an 8 iron that doesn’t get more than 5 feet off the ground, which bounces right through the green at an incredible pace and I spend the next 5 minutes looking for my ball as my playing partners finish off their putts. It’s worse when one of the guys you are playing with says something like ‘that was some drive as well mate’. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoroughly enjoyed that. My head does now closely resemble a Belisha beacon. Edited August 21, 2022 by KnightswoodVanBear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I see Tom Weiskopf had died. Really talented player who had a lovely swing but could run a bit hot. Brilliant win at the Open in 1973. Also famously took 13 on the 12th at Augusta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 36 points in Stableford today. Round in 77. By my calculation handicap index will be down to an all time low of 5.7. Delighted by that. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I've jumped to 17.4 as I seem to save my worst play for medals and counting rounds, whilst playing well in bounce games. Had the Summer Singles Matchplay semi final today. My opponent had to give me 12 shots. I beat him 7&5 after going out in around 37/38. Absolute bandit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Cantlay almost holes a monster for birdie on the last after finding a bunker off the tee, taps in to win by one. Scheffler still holds on to number one spot and tees off at -10 next week at East Lake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 On the DPWT the Czech Masters was reduced to 54 holes, with Max Kieffer winning with a closing 66. Grant Forrest was well placed on -9 after 36 holes, and went through the opening 6 holes in 5 under, but he couldn't keep it up and ended up level for the day and down in T23rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
