  2. One of our local clubs is doing cheap November Fridays with food after. They all do deals around my area this time of year to try and keep people going out and spending money.
  3. Sending a beaver tail size divot up a guys back at 5 feet, with a driver. That's a trick shot !
  4. The good old long irons. I have had periods where they seem okay but it soon drifts off again.
  5. I think a swing thought can often eradicate a lot of bad things. You become more focussed because you have a specific thought and your head is dialled in so clean striking increases. That's my theory, the mind is cleaned and the swing is natural because your tuned in. Same thing happened on a recent lesson. Coach told me my hands were a little too far in front of the ball and he strengthened my grip a little. With my mind focussed on those two changes I wasn't thinking about anything else and I was completely clear in the mind, so I swung without any inhibition. If I could keep my striking like it was on that afternoon I would bi in single figures too.
  6. I guess we are all different. The slightly wider stance helps me keep the weight on the left and I don't over rotate, and I transition on the downswing far much better.
  7. We had this guy at our club, big loud fella, you knew when he was around ! One competition day it's pouring down and people are dropping out like flies, even the club said it was up to individuals if they played. One of our tee time three ball had already phoned and pulled out which left me with the fella, all geared up in full waterproofs. I suggested I wasn't keen either, most players were calling it off, so he throws a strop and storms to the Pro Shop to look for players. He clearly was desperate to play and didn't want anything to stop him. So I decided to do what I thought was the decent thing and said "Ok I'll get the gear out, let's go play" He stood waiting on the first tee and off we finally went. He was very poor company and it was soon apparent he was playing rubbish, it was obvious his game was not in good shape and not just because of the weather. So when we got to the ninth, after making all that fuss and I had come out, he decided he didn't want to carry on and suggested I see if the group behind would let me join them. And with that he walked off. Some people are very selfish.
  8. Jeepers, Phil should have been an aeronautical designer not a golfer !! It's hard to argue with big Phil, but I just can't see how either. Dry equals friction and wet equals less friction surely. Then again they say golf is a game of opposites so I wouldn't be that surprised if this is another one !
  9. I think some markers can get a bit silly, the idea is to use a discreet object just to do the job. I guess things change with the times. I like the combined pitch repairers that have a ball marker magnetically attached, although I don't stiff that many greens lol.
  10. Hope it goes well. I think you have made a wise choice.
  11. I think I may have been a little unclear, apologies, my days of video instruction are over but thank you. My instructor is very good and I guess I was more trying to point out the dangers of hours of online "do it like this" which some golfers consume by the ton ( I certainly did ) and it always seemed to send me off on tangents and extremes. I'm a happy 50 year old golfer and bogey golf will do me fine. I have a decent swing and my instructor is there to help me brush up a bit when I think he will help, and it does. Best regards.
  12. Correct, not a putting tip. You use the line at 2 o'clock off the tee.
  13. Video - the easy way out? So much is there in an instant and we can load the brain with a ton of conflicting info, all shot in 2D and subject to cameraman angles etc. I would say 90% of the tips I have watched have done me no good at all. The simple ones, like trying a five iron for a long chip and run have been useful. But the full swing instructions usually do more harm than good in my honest opinion.
  14. Sounds like a similar idea to one that a friend of mine suggested, and he had lessons from Ian Poulter. He said to point the putt line on the ball at 2 o'clock and position myself straight down the middle. Then hit through the putt line as if your trying to send the ball 2 o'clock to the right. It worked.
  15. My very first lesson. I was sitting on a golf club balcony absolutely shattered after low hooking the ball around an easy course for 115 strokes. No matter how much I played I could not hit it properly. It was time to stop playing or find a solution. I booked a starter set of three lessons and was immediately given a proper grip, and things started to click, with a good few hours on the range. I had a pal who started playing at the same time, he didn't get any lessons and soon gave up. It was the turning point for me.
