Golf - Who Plays?

Had plateaued and even gone backwards with hcp the last few months whilst feeling like my overall game was improving, funny how that works.

Read something last night about the speed of your backswing basically being irrelevant and tried to employ it today. Completely slow and steady on the back and accelerate on the downswing. Best round in months. Even with a ****ing 12 with 7 out from a bunker i managed to break nett par.

Thoughts on the backswing speed @BooKhaki @Dexter @kman ?
I don't think backswing speed really means much, your path is what is what you should be worried about. The advice I always give to mates who are beginners, is to slow everything down. As long as you're hitting the middle of the club face, it doesn't matter.

I really can't comment currently, I've been in a downward spiral for the last 12 months. Handicaps gone from 1.8 out to 6.6 currently. Genuinely looking forward to ending my membership at Brookwater to change to Wynnum.
BTW anyone on here on the Future Golf Network?
I have mates that use it. Apparently the app is dogshit, but it's better value than SGA.
 
Slowed the swing down and have come back with a couple of better rounds. 74 at Gainsborough Greens with 4 balls in the water, and 77 at Ipswich, which included missing multiple putts inside 5 feet.

Keeping it going. Better stick with this slow swing. Helps when you bin a heap of putts.
 
**** yeah.

wish this rain would **** off. ashgrove has been a mess for weeks.

Used to love that course. I've no doubt mentioned it in here before, haven't played for years but I almost got a hole in one so many times on one of the holes there.

Edit: yep, sure did. Way back in 2022.
 
i lost my putter yesterday.

how the **** do you lose a putter? it's the last club you hold before you go back to your bag? the 3 others in my group are as perplexed as I am.

somewhere between green 4 and green 5 my putter has disappeared into thin air.

so guess i'm in the market for a new one. had to borrow my mates odyssey 2 ball yesterday (similar to the ai-one) with baseball grips and it felt way nicer than mine anyway lol, so will probably look at that.

what y'all use? unless i'm recalling incorrectly you have a scotty @BooKhaki ?

I think i've mentioned on here before, but, somehow, I have a HIO. In comp no less, so i'm forever immortalized on the Ashgrove board.

**** my mate was dirty when that happened. "i've been playing for 20 years and haven't gotten close, you've been playing for 12 months and have one - get ****ed."

lol get rekt.

This is what I use.

I'm very interested in checking out the new spider ZT's, as I've been long flirting with the idea of getting a LAB.
