TheRichie

basicly i feel as a newbie, playing for 6 months in total i feel i may have jumped the gun and gone for irons that are a little too good for me, my bad shot is a very very nasty strait pull left, no hook just way left but strait, i do get the odd hook and slice top and thin but the killer is the pull so do you think changing to a more forgiving set of irons will help me out a little more, i will also be taking lessons to rectify the issue

just got back in and im happy with my performance today, i scored 32 points, and didnt bottle it, only really had one nightmare hole the 16th but easy to just forget about it, the beauty of stableford, putting was on form today only one 3 putt, and narrowly missed 2 long off the green putts by 6" short, irons where behaving also only one major pull left, the naughty club was the driver who was retired not long after starting in favour of my hybrid which i hit nearly as long but more consistent either strait or a nice gentle fade i have figured out today that i play better when im playing against others, it was massively apparent when i compare past rounds against others against when i play on my own, i loose focus and become bored and thus slack, and not the case when it means something! next up is stroke play medal on wednesday, first every shot counts comp cant wait!!

Been out today for a practice, and all my iron shots are pulled way left with the occasional strong draw (hook) and really getting annoyed with myself So i tinker a lil bit and end up standing slightly futher away from the ball arms reach a little more but not enough that im stretching for the ball, and bam shots are alot straiter slight pulls and pushs completely different satisfying but very much managable So have i found a mask for my bad technique? Or is it a fix?

haha yeah that was the wife text messaging me, she should know better when im at golf!!

any more thoughts?

yes left heel is now planted, still working on shortening the backswing slightly and keeping the hands from turning over to soon resulting in me pulling shots, also need to keep my head still more because i hit a fair few very fat any other opinions?

i have no idea if i resemble anyone, let me know if i do tho

i have joined my first golf club a week ago and loving it, subbmitted my 3 cards for handicap popped to the club today, for a cpl of hours short game practice, and looked at the comp board and noticed a stableford comp next sunday, so stuck my name down, in a field of over 30, asst pro says i will more than likely be playing of 27/28 and that my cards will be processed ready for sunday excited and nervous as its my "first" competition, just going to enjoy it and take in the experience any first timer tips?
