Remember chaps - hit through the ball not at the ball. The single greatest tip you will ever get.

after 3 months out I will be happy to make a swing, hitting the ball will be a bonus!

Played Wednesday afternoon, not too bad after the enforced break. We were intending doing the Driving Range but that many rules & regs, do's & don'ts to actually get in coupled with the course being quiet early afternoon we decided to play both courses at Castlehawk instead. Nice to see that they've not upped the prices too.

Driving and putting decent but need a bit of work on my irons and around the edge of the green which is normally the best part of my game.

Got a few aches but out again on Sunday.

Just about to head out for my first post lockdown post cataract surgery round with my new Pings. Won’t bother scoring, this one is just for fun

Hit 97 the other day after a year without even going to the range. Struck the ball beautifully but left and my short game was terrible. Happy though, ball striking has been my no.1 focus for a while and it’s paying off

Our dogs, Pep and Daisy say you are all a set of bastids, and are praying for another lockdown to get their big fields, with added sandpits back. ;-)

Just played in 37 degree heat and 80% humidity. I’m a fat sweaty mess

Golf club annual subscription , gone up £50 but you get £50 off for renewing. No discount for all the months we couldn’t play and whilst I realise this isn’t the fault of my club I think asking for the “full” amount again is wrong.. I realise the club aren’t a charity but neither am I.. Anyone else in the same boat?

Our club made no increase and ‘offered’ a £100 discount to anyone who paid their subs in full last March (and therefore kept the club financially sound during lockdowns). So basically £100 discount for the next 12 months for losing 6 months last year.
Members were encouraged not to take up the offer and pay in full as the club needs every penny it can get.
It’s a difficult one.
I certainly understand where you are coming from.

Can anyone offer advice on a set of starter club's (not looking to break the bank but not looking for complete bargain basement that I will need to upgrade any time soon)?

Probably going to get some off eBay knowing that if I chuck it in I will probably get my money back on them............
