    Thanks. All of the courses have hole by hole analysis.

    Great iOS Apps

    Yeah I also use it but only on android. Keeps me updated with all the sports I like.
  4. The red target indicates fairway hit. The down arrow indicates I was short of fairway. :)
  5. Thanks Lihu. Okay I will take on the range with my woods then!
  6. Hi guys. I went to play my first 18 in a while today. It was the first round that I've played after starting to practice daily. My goal of breaking 100 was pretty close. I feel I have a real problem with my tee shots. I'm not consistent at all. Further I had good putts. I could feel the practice coming through and also my irons felt solid. I only practice with my irons as our driving range is just 220 yards long. Could the little practice of my driving be the cause of that being SO bad?? Here is my scorecard- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 OUT 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 IN TOTAL DISTANCE 354 352 521 136 498 148 355 347 376 3087 304 371 470 131 447 165 386 338 323 2934 6021 HANDICAP 5 9 3 17 15 13 7 11 1 6 10 4 18 16 14 8 12 2 PAR 4 4 5 3 5 3 4 4 4 36 4 4 5 3 5 3 4 4 4 36 72 SCORE 6 7 6 5 6 4 4 6 6 50 7 5 7 4 6 4 6 7 6 52 102 ROUND SCORE +2 +5 +6 +8 +9 +10 +10 +12 +14 +14 +17 +18 +20 +21 +22 +23 +25 +28 +30 +30 +30 NET SCORE 6 7 6 5 6 4 4 6 6 50 7 5 7 4 6 4 6 7 6 52 102 TEE CLUB 1W 1W 1W 7i 1W 7i 1W 1W 5i 1Hy 1W 1W 6i 1W 6i 1W 1W 1W FAIRWAYS 14% 14% 14% GIR 11% 0% 6% PUTTS 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 2 14 2 1 3 2 2 2 3 2 2 19 1.8/33 SAND SHOTS

    Golf Trip!

    Hi guys. I'm currently busy with my last exam of High School and my father suggested we go and play some courses as a last father son thing. Im really excited and thought I'd share the build up and experience. Our program looks like this- 26 Nov Pinnacle Point Golf course (http://www.pinnaclepointestate.co.za/) 27 Nov Simola Golf Course (http://simola.co.za/) 28 Nov Pezula Golf Course (http://www.pezulagolf.com/) I've never actually played other courses that our local 9-hole course so this is really exciting as all three of the courses are rated in the top 20 of South Africa. My father plays a bit more and have been around so he chose the courses. Are there any advice on how to prepare? I have never played 18-holes three days in a row. I do practice almost every day. Anything will help actually!
  8. Thanks! They are called shorts and not mediums for a reason
  9. I've been going out to the range quite often the past week. Kept to my schedule in earlier posts and in the afternoons I've only missed two sessions this week. I've improved my full shots extremely well. Yesterday afternoon I went and hit about 40 balls and only sliced one and drew two. Further it went straight. Really straight. I don't know if my practicing in the mornings could have such a big effect in only a week? Or was It just a lucky day? (In the mornings it doesn't go as well as yesterday afternoon). I also went to play 9 holes on Thursday afternoon. I played 50. My fairways hit was about 50% and I could feel the putting practice as my feel on how hard to put helped a lot! On my way to breaking 100!
  10. @ChrisPietersen and myself went to our school to (finally) record our shots. We didn't wear the same clothes on purpose!
  11. Almost like this? Did you use pop rivets to hold the stainless steel together to the PVC pipe? I Googled a bit and found this concept which is used for baseballs in the patent. (I am mentioning the patent as I dont want trouble with copying stuff etc.) http://www.google.com/patents/US20110059814 They used it seems PVC and a rubber ring which wouldn't damage the ball at all? Pretty smart.
  12. Hi guys I'm from South Africa and we love to hunt over here. Obviously different game than you guys from the US. I shot my first trophy when I was 11 so pretty much stuck from then. It isn't currently hunting season as we are entering summer, but this season went well for me. I shot Kudu Antelope and Springbok!
  13. If you use hard wire be aware that the wire can damage the bottom ball. You can maybe put another twist on the wire to avoid letting balls make contact with the cut area.
  14. That too is a really impressive record!
