Played really well tonight on my round, really wish I'd kept score because I'm pretty certain I'd have recorded my first round in the low 90's, even on a soaking course. (for me, that's good!). Had a lesson using a launch monitor which really sorted my s***k out, absolutely night and day now. I had the clubface wide open, that would do it. Best money I've spent in golf. Been playing since the start of April and absolutely hooked, no better game when you go through a good couple of holes...

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi folks- I've just taken stock of a lot of golf clothing, some clubs, tonnes of accessories and tees. Selling off cheap. PM me if you need anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Net 73 last night (14 over par). Driving and irons in were excellent but short game was horrendous: E.G. Drove within 30 yards of par 4 9th and ended up with a 5. Putting is plaguing my rounds just now, very frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Back up to 8 (7.5) after medal today. Started 7,6 to drop 5 shots then fought back well to be in with an outside chance of buffer before having triple bogey on 14. Drove it reasonably well but most other bits of the game were pretty poor. Round in 88-7 for net 81 (CSS looking like 73). Worst round of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not sure if anyone has played at Carluke, 11th hole is quite spectacular. Only 124 yards but a massive drop, even more so than it looks in this photo and with the trees and plants in full bloom. Hit a sand wedge which looked to be coming up short, scudded a path, bounced onto the green and trickled towards the hole and stopped about half a foot out, agony. Nice wee course though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 What's everyone's course they have played? I played Muirfield when I was younger but it pished down all day and ruined it. Really like both Hopeman and Cullen with probably the former my favourite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 38 stableford points last night. Short game not good enough but my best scratch competition score at my new club/course - 79. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nike have announced that they will no longer produce any golf equipment like clubs or bags, but will concentrate on clothing and shoes. Looks like as Tiger has slipped out of view, Nike have struggled to maintain their market share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like as Tiger has slipped out of view, Nike have struggled to maintain their market share. Result for Rory. Still has the massive contract but not hindered by having to use Nike Clubs. Assuming the contract wasn't about to run out anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few big names signed up already - suspect they'll go big for a few of Nikes names. Will be interesting to see how Rory would get on using different clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas is pulling out of golf and selling its Taylor Made, the biggest brand in terms of sales. It's all good news for Callaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
