Golf - Who Plays?

Putting and those short 30 to 40 mtr shots is where you will pick up a lot of shots.
When you find trouble off the tee if you can get to 40 mtrs or inside then get somewhere near the pin , say 3 to 4 mtrs or better, you give yourself a chance at par and take double bogie off the table.( most of the time)
Keep the updates coming mate.

I've played two comp rounds this week and playing Friday and Saturday. :-)

Monthly medal aka strokeplay this Saturday @ Ashgrove, so I'm hoping these lessons can help a bit. Been a few rounds since I hit sub 100 so hoping to get some consistency back.
 
Nice solid 115 today, those lessons sure helped a bunch lol.
Think I was trying too hard with the hip rotation, kept hooking shots. Back to the range this week.
 
@Renegade I use Michael Lamana ( youtube) from about.com as my go to for my grip and swing basics.
I find it uncomplicated where as a lot of pros like to break your swing down and rebuild it and you have to keep forking out for $90 plus for lessons.

Golf Central is a good set up. I had a lesson there a while ago with one of the other pros.

I think if you want basics when it comes to a grip, buy a grip-aid. Scottie Schef still uses one at the range.

Over turning is a big thing when you're working your hip rotation. It's just about pounding balls at the range and finding the sweet spot before you can trust it on the course.

It's very frustrating! I feel like 6 different parts all trying to align at once instead of just a normal smooth swing.

Yep, all about the grind, and it's also insanely important to warm up on the range and work out the issues if you wanna score well. So often I'll not have time to warm up and hit some pills, and my handicap is already gone inside the first 4-5 holes, and feels like the rounds over before getting started.
 
I haven't played in 5 years and going out to play this week. If I break 90 I'll be happy. My handicap is 8 but when I was practising heaps +2 was my best.
So I saw last time, +2 is fucking excellent.

What did you do in terms of drills when you were a plus?

Short game is a massive must from 50 meters in, that's where the true scoring happens. I would spend hours pitching, chipping and putting. It's mostly about getting your rhythm right.
 
Oberon golf club a small town in nsw. I have just become a member of oatlands in Parramatta.
Nice. Surprised GA allowed you a handicap of 8 after previously being +2. Did you get a medical exemption? When I came back from a 10yr+ hiatus I had to take my previous handicap, and they'd only manually adjust if I provided medical certs etc.
