  1. before my round last yesterday i took the kids to the park, which is part of a big playing field 2 football pitches, so i took along my 56* wedge and chiped/pitched/flopped anywhere from 50yds in to the goalpost which was my pin, also i tried a shot where you get 2 balls touching and take a normal swing bit of a trick shot if you will, the front ball scoots along the ground the rear ball which you hit, goes strait up high in the air practicly no distance pretty cool tbh, so i was showing my mate and he wanted to try it so he set it up and failed, 2nd try got it up and so wanted to try it a 3rd time max power boom he hit it sweet, the ball popped right up into the air fast as you like propmtly hit the crossbar came back at him and hit him in the hand, he went down like a sniper just picked him off im in stiches laughing, didnt belive it had hit him until 10mins later golf ball sized mark on the back of his right hand dimples and all just wish it was on camera!!
  2. i dont either! i hate my inability to check through what i have typed lol
  3. im in the uk will these be posted to me or is it a us only offer :(
  4. i play with 3 balls, mayority of my play is with sxrixon ad333 cheap good distance and generates a fair amount of spin, prov1/x but i cant always justify the cost and nike power distance soft decent distance and good around the greens
  5. fiends yes and then only if i know they are at the very least able to hit a ball, strangers ah hell no!
  6. played last night, and came away very very satisfied, bar the first tee where i shot 5 of the tee my drives where straitish (playable and not lost!) and 200-250yards long! im chuffed with my short game after watching phil micklesons secrets of the short game a few times i took what i saw to the course relaxed, and wow i played a blinder inside 100yards my mate was shocked with how i was playing wrong side of bunkers and a close pin, i'll just flop got it to within 2ft! mate was stunned as everytime he tried it he'd blade it and it would shoot off at warp speed, that said the flop did fail me a cpl of time where i got to much under and not enough distance and i landed in the bunker! but phil's dvd had me semi equipped to get out! best shot of the day about 50yds short 20yds left of the pin relaxed and following phils guide, steep angle of attack on the ball popped it up pin high as soon as it hit the green one bonuce took all off the speed off the ball and trickled to 6" of the pin, again mate was speechless haha even tho i shot 111 10stroke over my pb i came away so god damn happy, but with practice and the confidence i have after watching phils dvd and being able to mostly go out onto the course and apply what i had soaked up is fantastic, would of shot better it it hadnot of been for my putting! happy chappy!!
  7. because im a proud welshman!!!!

  11. slight dog left right 266 par 4 i hit a gentle fade drive 220yds and then 2nd shot is my shott of my life so far 56* wedge hit it clean and strait ball lands on edge of green and begins to roll and carry on rolling until it stops 3" from the cup! a tap in for birdie my first ever when it could of been my first eagle it was that close lol!!
  12. only started playing 2 weeks ago so my goals are to get at least 1 birdie and break 100 pb is 107
  13. im in the uk i have been quoted 22GBP which translates into about 37USD and thats for 30mins thats at a local driving range so not to sure of the calibre of the pro that will be teaching tho
  14. shot 108 on par 71 sss 68 107 is my PB still looking for that elusive birdie!! 2 pars 4 bogeys 6 doubles 3 triples 3 +4's
  15. hit my first par3 green in one, i landed about 20ft from the hole but its a start!!! congrats on the ace!!
  16. very slight breeze across the hole
  17. what club would you use for a par 3 176yard? only asking because the last few rounds i been trying and failing using my 4/5i but today i chosse to hit my 7i as i was hitting it really well and landed on the green for a 20ft putt granted i 3 putted for 4 tho :(
  18. went for an early moring round today and happened to be a club members weekly £1 individual comp, got talking to a few of the guys and was encouraged to give it ago, i was going to wait to join until start of next season but they have a winter season starting in a few weeks and a few more summer season comps over the next few weekends, i explained i have no offcial handicap but i had worked it out and its 28 they said that i would start as a off 18 and then be adjusted the following week i take it as its to make sure im not sandbagging? but yeah im excited to meet new golfers and play in a competitive envioroment, i know im poop and have a gazillion and 3 things to work on, but i love to play and love to compete gives me more focus i have found with other sports when i compete with others so yeah im excited for next week!!!
  19. more so the iron swings at the end of the video, i have noticed i done this swing just randomly and when reading upon various swings to to me resembles a stack and tils swing would love to hear your opions? olso i have changed my driver swing keeping my wrists hinged on the down swing so the shaft point at my taget, feels alot tigher that i used to swing
  20. my worst rounds are when i play with my friends last 3 times my rounds have been 123,122, and 124 yet on my own im hitting 107,109 and 112, i have just started golf and learning the hard way but just cant drop the shots when im with friends
  21. my bag consists of ben sayers c-300 driver nike sq machspeed 3 hybrid nike vr full cavity irons 4-pw nike sv 56* wedge nike method 004 putter titlest nxt tour ball driver needs to be changed but untill i can hit it strait with a little consistency its staying put, and then i will shell out for a new one irons i struggle with the 4-6 cant hit them at all hence why i got the hybrid which i can hit but get over confident and try to kill the ball which messes me up, but the short iron im love i got good contoll and distance with them, 7iron is my random iron i can hit it sweet then i duff a few with it lol wedge im happy with but im think of getting a 60* just for more options method i only tried in the shop and loved it, didnt take me long to realise i dont have to hit the ball as hard as i did with my old cheap putter, i can maintain a better balenced swing with the method, well blades in general my 2 ball is horrible! so instantly i was getting better distance control and feel from the method, just hope it arrives in the morning so i can take it out for real!!
  22. looking into this i noticed i do this naturaly every now and again. need to go the the range and do do it consiously and see how it helps, if it helps with not hitting fat them imma give it a good try as fat hits and common as soons as i get onto the course is it the same weight on forward leg push hips out and extend arms when driving? will it cure my slice?
