Very nice, make sure you post pics when they arrive.

Had a quick game with my usual crew last night after work - shot 82, with two very sloppy 7's on the back nine. I was gutted about the one on the 18th, nailed my driver over the corner on a 470 yard par 5, left myself with 190 yards in, forced a 5 iron rather than an easy 4, caught it thin and ended up in the drink in front of the green - then took another 4 to get down after a Jordan Spieth impression with a lob wedge :/

Love playing this time of year though. Can't beat that feeling of walking down the 18th at 9:40 and it's still light.

Also back out this evening.

Played three rounds since lockdown lifted a little.

1:Worst game of golf ever.
2: Much better - above average
3: One of the best rounds i've played.

I'm hoping tonight follows the same pattern.

The game last night was good. Better than 2 but worse than three.

Seem to have sorted the slice with the driver, which is always a positive.

The biggest change i've made is actually thinking about my set up, properly, and taking time over it. In the past I was always the kinda player who wandered up to a ball and hit it. Then couldn't work out why it didn't go in the rough direction I was expecting.

Yep, and course conditions (in Wales anyway) are superb at the minute. Testing my shiny new Bushnell Tour V5 Shift later. Finished in the top half of the first medal of the season on Sunday despite getting three 8s on the card so am flushed with new hope.

Will do!

Played silkstone today, off whites, in this heat carrying...

Was actually drained by the 7th hole, but battled to 30 points playing off 14...

[Rosscow]

Warm day alright!

[sc0tt]

3rd time I played on a course today. Only the front nine but had a bit of a stinker. Still enjoyed myself a lot and rented a buggy because it was frankly too hot to walk.

[Jamie VTS]

Great time down the 2010 this evening.

32 points (16hc). Some poor holes but who remembers them anyway! Made my first birdie on the 2010- 8th hole, driver, 8 iron, 10ft putt!

[thebraketester]

Today was hot 28* , but we kept cool with the aid of some cider. We played 2x 9 hole course. Shot 47 and 41. One birdie and 3 x 3 off the tee. I’ve changed my grip slightly so I need to remember to adjust my alignment as I usually have to align left to allow for a power fade.... I mean high wafty slice. As a result 3 balls ended up in the crap on the left. But they were straight so I need to stick with it an just move my feet.

Legs packed in on my bag, sent them an email and a new one turned up 5 days later

4th time on a course and I played the heritage course at the London club.

Very challenging weather didn’t help.

Lovely kept course though.

[Rosscow]

That’s a lovely track! Hope you enjoyed it

Very good. Many lost balls. They can only get easier from here

[Tomm3]

Been playing really poorly this year, same old problem I've had for years, not starting down inside.
Managed to hold it together today and hit the ball really well, dropped 4 shots in 9 holes.
As a bonus I actually chipped better too, what a difference that makes!
Mad game, but all the better for it.

Time goes extremely slowly when you’re waiting for new clubs, doesn’t it!!

Serves you right for being all posh and getting new ones fitted. I get mine off Golfbidder / eBay, they're here next day

Seriously tho I feel your pain, nothing worse than having to wait for new sticks - how long have Mizuno told you?

[Rosscow]

I’m hoping 7-10 days (which is what the pro told me) which would mean end of this week.

However, Mizuno UK have tweeted that they are currently working on 10-14 days..... let’s see!

[danneth]

I'm getting old so.
