Hello to everyone - glad to be part of the forum.
I'm a mid handicapper who after years (well, decades actually) of playing this great game, I am finally putting some decent rounds together.

When not golfing, it's all the usual family stuff - I have three girls, two grand-children and a 3rd on the way.
Any time left to me is spent playing and rehearsing with my long time pals in a Rock group. There's none of have much talent (or hair ) so if we're going to Rock the World, we'd better get a move on.

Kind regards to all
Pete.

Hello to everyone - glad to be part of the forum.

Hello, fellow golfers and greetings from South Florida. I watched The Open on tv for the past 3 days and loved every minute of it. Tiger Woods has proven he is the best golfer in the world and has done it with style, poise, grace and professionalism. The entire event was a thrill to watch! St. Andrews - the grande dame of all courses, magnificent!

Hey Pete,

How're you doin' Brett?

Although originally from Edinburgh, I live in a wee town about 15 miles south east of Glasgow. We've had a fabulous summer so far, and all the courses are in tip-top condition. I play in a number of 'Seniors Open' club competitions, which means we get to play some pretty good courses for very little money.

Couldn't agree more about Tiger - he's the consumate professional. I was kinda hoping that old Monty might have done the Biz on Sunday, but I was pleased to see Tiger making inroads on Jacks record 18 majors.

It was also nice to see Freddie Couples getting in amongst the Big Boys again.

Regarding Monty at The Open: He played very well, and (to quote him), "there's no shame in coming in second (place)". Of course, it would have been wonderful for him, his devoted fans, and his countrymen if he had won. I must admit, I was rooting for Tiger to be first, and Colin to be second. I was also surprised to see how well Jose Maria played. I had the pleasure to see them all play at the Doral (Blue Monster) in Miami this past spring. It would have been the "tips", if I could have been at St. Andrews to view the most revered tournament at the most famous golf course.

A bit OT, but I really dig the flag golf ball you've got as your avatar, golf gal. Cool.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
