I have joined the club people. Been playing for just a couple of months now (late starter at 41) absolutely loving it, been told by every seasoned golfer I meet your gonna need lessons. So I booked six week course of group lessons starting last Wednesday it was my day off so went for a round in the morning chilled in the afternoon and lesson in the evening. Arrived at the range PGA pro busy so hit 50 balls then start lesson hit some balls for pro to see my swing, he changed a few things in my swing seasoned golfers spot on this guy is a miracle worker hit another 50 balls with a very big smile on my face perfect height and distance. Then bam I think I have been stabbed in the ribs serratus anterior strain, been nearly a week now and still painful standing up and turning in bed breathing not to bad now going to have to put the lessons on hold for a bit now but it is so frustrating after such an improvement in my game just after a one hour lesson. I think most my problem was doing too much not stretching and maybe the change in my swing (which is no fault of the pro) well I will rest for another week and see how I go. Sorry for venting my frustration on you poor people just reading this thread made me realise its not just me. Cheers Spen

Hello my first ever round yesterday on my local 9 hole which I did twice to make 18 holes. Got a par on the first 9 and another on the second 9 thought i had won the open lol ended up with a 114 which I am we'll pleased with as it is my first ever go at it. Absolutely loved every moment slice hook topped shot and run on wish I had done this years ago.

I posted a thread about playing alone but it has gone?

Not the new Depp film but playing a round on your own, do many people do it I am not a shy person by any means so I am going to play as much as possible on my own to learn the game in my own time, is it frowned upon or are people not bothered. Cheers Spen

Oops bloody I phone and sausage fingers don't mix lol. I wish I did have a vested interest in gold but its just golf

Hello everyone I am 40 years old and just started an interest in gold getting my first set this weekend after going on the driving range a few times and really enjoyed it. My previous e hobby (racing model cars) I couldn't do enough with it being a specialist hobby so I wont improving so got disheartened with it. I have fancied golf for the past 20 years but not had the chance to have a go but that is going to change now. There is lots to learn and I look forward to the challenge of it I will post back how I get on on my journey. Cheers Spen
