It’s such a frustrating hole, it should be easy but it’s not.
Yea my handicap was +2 but lost it. I was playing in the blue mountains nsw and winning alot of opens there. I am currently in Parramatta and looking at joining Oatelands. Just most of the courses around I live atm are quite expensive.

Played torrey pines north a week ago. Lovely course. Got paired with an old couple and the lady ended up being the former communications spokesperson for PGA national. Still works for the PGA in a different role. Lives next to the bear trap. Great couple to play and talk shit with. She was just so smooth with her swing, effortless and always dead centre of the fairway.
Will get back and play torrey pines south next time.

Had my first round since May on Sunday. Not a bad hit. Had a few bad holes but mostly happy with it.

Started around 2 months ago, never really had a hit before that, but a mate has dragged me in.
Got a real old hand me down set that I doubt was worth much to begin with. But it'll do for now.
Haven't played a round yet, just trying to get to the range once a week. Holy shit it's difficult...
Iron and short game I am getting much more consistent swings but my driving is beyond terrible.
It's certainly a journey.

First 2 years of playing I just hit irons off the tee lol. It sucked but I scored better.Started around 2 months ago, never really had a hit before that, but a mate has dragged me in.

I honestly think this is what I'll be doing. At least it's more chance of being straight

Yeah I still can't drive for shit after almost 2 years.Started around 2 months ago, never really had a hit before that, but a mate has dragged me in.

Do I hit irons off the tee instead? No because I like pain.

That's elite. Would love to play some courses in America.
Always nice to get a birdie on the card. Once you get rid of the triples and most of the doubles, you'll be low teen handicap.
I've hit an absolute rough patch on my golf, handicap has ballooned from 1.8 to 5.5 at the moment. Although travelling to NZ and get to play Jacks Point in Queenstown, and when I get back will be joining Brookwater, so doubt that will help the handicap come down.

Ok so I finally got around to this because I'm procrastinating WFH, behold my hodgepodge set in all its glory.
Driver: Retco Cx7 (I have never heard of this brand, I needed a driver when I first started out and it was 80 bucks from Vic park. Comes with a large dent in the head, which I can only assume makes it way more aerodynamic (lol)).
Hybrid: Titleist H1 816 (I rarely use this because I can't hit hybrids for shit, I never get any height on them so I always end using a 5i instead)
3i: Taylormade Stealth (donation from a friend who didn't like it anymore, kinda my 4i replacement as I broke the shaft on a tree)
5i, 6i, 7i: Cobra S3 Max
8i: Titleist 990 DCI
9i: Brosnan Taipain MK8
PW: Spalding era-1 EX
52: Callaway Mack Daddy (love this wedge)
56: Cleveland Rtx 3 (Also like this wedge, but not as much as the 52)
61: Titleist elk (I never use the 61 tbh and will probably take it out of my bag soon)
Putter: Cleveland TFI Cero (got given this last week by a friend, was previously using a brosnan taipan)
And yeah they've all got different grips. It's just a blast each week really not knowing what your club is going to give you as you're constantly changing feel between all the different clubs, grips, weightings etc.
Balls I just grab a 50 pack of yellow premiums from lostgolfballs. From the various ones I've used, I really like the feel of Volvik softs. I'm never using tp5's or any high end brand because I'll just pump them into the state forest anyway and never see them again.
I played with Titleist T350 irons at Torrey Pines and they felt super nice along with the Vokey SM8 wedges, so they are definitely something I will keep an eye on when I lash out and grab a new set, probably early next year. Happy to drop a few K on a good set that will last me a few years. Happy to take suggestions from those that have splurged on their own sets, I'll do a fitting session and go through a few and see what feels nice, but any ideas would be appreciated.

I've heard some of the bunkers at Brookwater are next level bullshit. It's on my list of things to do pretty soon.
