The Golf Course Thread

YouTube is full of instructional videos, so it’s sometimes difficult to know where to start. Also, what might be right for one, might not suit another player.

If I could suggest one, it would be ‘meandmygolf’, these guys are really good and whilst they do a lot of chatting, the points are made in the end

Fwiw, I’m still teetering around the mid 80’s with my rounds after playing all winter, so don’t be too hard on yourself!

 

Aye some contradict each other, iv had a watch at some of there vids but they did go on a bit, iv took pointers from different ones tho I just need to get out more and get the practice in

* of a game. Got banned from playing football so started playing golf. I’m now hopelessly addicted. It’s all I think about ffs.
Driving range is a lot of *. Hit every shot perfect then step on to the first tee and fluff it lol
Best way to practice is to play.

 

This Topic is a bit below Par!

 

Just got the shot tracer app, out on the medal at Carnoustie on Saturday, can’t wait to try it out, all the stands and hoarding are up for the Open too, proper feel like a pro even if I can’t play like one

 

Always been interested in getting into the game proper.Been out on a few course but i was that bad i thought it wasn't for me.Practise is the key i suppose.

 

had a good look at Old Prestwick today , greens are in great order but the fairways are parched dry , grass is bleached white , this rain due is long overdue .

 

I was wanting to try that I'm not wanting to pay for a beta version, think it will be good on the driving range not to sure about a round tho, I'm choking to play carnasty along with troon, and st Andrews, I saw some pics of carnoustie with all the stands and it looked incredible i might pop up for the open

I just really got into it last year and have been hooked I was pish at that start but staring to get a lot better in just a year still hovering the 90s but the scores are coming down month by month, your right practice is the key

for anybody that doesn't know Old Prestwick is where in the 1800,s some old boys decided to have a wee gowf competition . at the end of it someone said " what will we give the winner ? " ……… "use this claret jug " one old boy said .

Dearest claret jug in the world now ! Big cairn on the first tee tells the story .

 

This is why I’d never try it as this is exactly what I’d do. Buying the gear would be more fun than playing the sport for me.

 

Nice one

 

Ate you a member up there

Season ticket yeah, but not a member of a club. Maybe next year will join one to play in some competitions, there’s five clubs here.

 

Alright, in fact I think I asked you that before, aye get yourself a good club I just joined my local private club best thing I've done I'm up there almost every second day still not got my hc yet just waiting on one more card,

Good man. I was a member of the main club when I was younger but didn’t like the cliquey-ness. There are a couple that don’t have a clubhouse and just use the hotel, they are less formal and my mates are members wi them.

The Links Committee has spent/granted millions on a new building beside the 1st tee, has simulators in it, lockers etc etc. Bar and fancy restaurant. So clubs with no home can share that. Should be good.

 

This is my first club, the guys are all brand new that iv meet I was I bit worried that it would be quite snobby but its far from it it also a full club house with decent facilities.
Aye it sounds excellent I love the sims and stuff like that I'm going to bring it up on the agm see if there is a way to get something sorted like a quad 2 or trackman
