thats quite an inspiring little peice, i liked your stats image you put up i had something similar on my iphone. i've started doing the same kinda thing, practicing a lot! where did your pro give you the most help?

how did you find the pentas? ive heard good things about them but not had a chance to use them.

i'd be tempted to go get my swing looked at, if you know there is a problem there thatd make most sense, but i do hear what your saying about hitting them longish and straight. a shaft would give you a good constant, again and again everytime you hit the ball, if your not getting any luck try a ball change. a shaft could fix it, but i reckon trying a small swing fix for longer term success. do you have a video of your swing?

hey Patrick, thanks for the friendly hello.

Hi people, i'm jim, i'm 29 and from a little town called falkirk in scotland. i've been hacking away at golf for a little around a year, playing very irregular, weekend/fortnightly and depending on the weather, never taking it to seriously. this season (my course opens on monday) will be the season i take it a bit more seriously, golfing more and practising even more, and play as close to my potential as i can. my goals were pretty simple, break 100 - ive down this each of the last 3 times ive played, 102,95,93 being my scores on my local course. (Grangemouth golf course) start to hit more greens in 2. work a lot on my putting. i can see breaking 90 being the real next step for me, i beleive my putting really lets me down and i will drop a lot of strokes from better putting. i have a slight issue with my driving, i use a pretty old 10.5degree Howson 300cc driver,steel shaft, i hit it reasonably well, 250+ with a bit og movement to the right. my issue being i cant find another! i have tried using newer larger drivers, but it just doesnt feel right. i use a hippo 7 wood, carbon shaft, i love this club. i fire this pretty long and pretty straight, sometimes with a little right spin but i really like it. my irons i use 5-sw wilson fat shaft tour cast clubs, i dont know too much about these clubs, i think theyre pretty old, maybe 2001? i cant be sure. 7 and 8 irons i'm hitting well already this season, 9, pw,sw ive found a swing where they just feel a part of me. i can dial in pretty close, i cant explain it, last season it alluded me, this year i have played 3 times and feel a massive change. i got myself an ultra lob wedge, mainly because i suffer close in to the greens. i either was completely over hitting them or mis hitting them. i got a cheap dunlop tour tpii 64 and i must say ite the main reason i went from 102 to 93, i can flop over bunks, float on to greens, its helped a lot. my biggest area of needed improvement is my putting. i 3 putt a lot. from 4-5 feet in im 50/50. practise will help me and that comes from time. i know my equipment could do with updating to game improvement clubs, but i want to keep that as a reward for when i break 90 consisitently, 88.89.90.87 if i can get there then i will know ive earned it. its easy to just want new shiny things, ive already poured over nike slingshot irons and was impressed with the oss models. balls, well i can get nikes cheap in great condition,50 for 10£ im waiting on pro v1s too 30 for £10, but i know different balls are suited for higher handicapped players, but i use what i can get my hands on. thanks for looking guys, big read i know but i've relly caught the bug.
