After the crap I had on Saturday (see the "Idiots on my course" forum post) I will be playing the same course on Wednesday afternoon in my first ever comp.
Probably not the best timing after the way I was driving on Saturday and the head f**k caused by the argument with the idiots behind, but I figured what the heck and I am gonna try and turn a bad thing into a good thing.
Hopefully I will get my game back and shoot somewhere around the 88 I did last Wednesday so wish me luck.

I will update on how I get on Thursday morning.

Well I played my first comp and it went OK, totally different course of the Championship Tee's (whites in UK) my driving was off the front 9 but I have narrowed down my high and left lob wedge type drives, needed to lower the tee height as I was catching it off the top of the face (no sky marks thank god)

So shot 95 but it was stableford and only got 25 points as my club handicap is 13.4 (long story short but they got that from my 3 qualifying cards as lowest score of 3 was 86 so they knock 3 shots off) no way I am 13 anyway, my score tracker has me at 17.2 but the club one will soon go up unless I start shooting like a 13.

Just one of those days where I felt I played well but just did not score well, due to a mixture of bad drives on front 9 and a few bad puts.

Hey ho can't wait for Sat now, hope it stays dry as I played in shorts today

Did not play on Sat after as it was raining heavy, had a good range session though instead, really working on alignment and completing my swing which has helped big time with longer irons and stopping me blocking them right.

No golf this weekend as I am off to the Welsh Open @ The Celtic Manor (get free passes as a member, not for the Ryder Cup though) lets hope the weather stays good so I can enjoy seeing some top golfers play

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
