Hi all,

Just in my second year playing Golf, Rugby was my sport for many years, but the knocks took their toll and eventually I decided i needed a gentler game to play. I got the bug pretty bad and joined a club a couple of months ago (Brighton and Hove). Even though it's the oldest club in Sussex It's a very friendly club -  which dispelled some of my fears about stuffy old club houses with too many rules.

My handicap is just starting to come down now, as I slowly manage to break 100 more frequently. So I'm getting excited about the summer and intend to capitalise on my high handicap as long as it lasts :-) I already get called a bandit off the tee, as being a big lad I can smack it one, by the time I've four putted the "bandit banter" tends to subside though. Drive for show, putt for dough.

Cheers all,

James.

Welcome James. I am not too faraway from you in Surrey! Where do you normally play? Edit: saw it, Brighton and Hove.

I haven't joined a club in Surrey so I am playing in public courses around where I live in Richmond.

I will be going to Wentworth PGA this Saturday after winning the tickets in a lucky draw. Might see you there!

Oh you lucky *** I was hoping to get to Wentworth this weekend, but no chance, family commitments have taken over.

If you do venture away from Richmond, Surrey national and also Westerham are fantastic tracks. Well worth a short drive.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
