If you have two sets of clubs, does that mean you're good at golf? Because that could be a problem. |

Another game with Mr Burrrrt tonight. I'm feeling quietly hopeful that I may have another relatively good round which probably means that the only fairways I'll be seeing will be the ones two holes to the right. I'd forgotten what a gnarly fucker Ashton & Lea golf club is. I've only played it once a couple of years ago. This course may well murder us, so bring plenty of balls. On the bright side, my new driver came today. It's just like the driver I started out with but 10.5º instead of 14º loft. I've never really got on well with the replacement. First time I hit it will be on the first tee. |

Well that was ace fun again but I played really badly. 126 to Mr Burrrt's 118. I blame a sore back and also some stupid old golf clubby cunt at the start telling us to tuck our shirts in and questioning whether my golf shoes are golf shoes. Cunt. How anyone so old and near to death can concern themselves with the tuckedinedness of someone else's shirt is utterly beyond me. A tough course indeed that punishes any wayward shots. Mr Burrrt played much better than the score, though. A textbook birdie on the par 5 and some tidy pars on other holes amongst the highlights. Good game. |

I got told to tuck my shirt in twice. Once by a woman I was told later was the Lady Captain who had been playing wearing a t shirt with no collar which is against the dress code. This was before we actually got onto the course. |

Next game is scheduled for this evening. Mr Burrrrt, Baz (known to tinkers attendees) and me are going to attempt to get around Stanley Park before we run out of either daylight of golf balls. Still at least this one is a municipal course with a relaxed dress code. Nonetheless I have bought some special golfing clothes, I think I'll probably look a bit preppy, like a Tory MP going on his holidays, or MaliA. |

Well that was a most agreeable way to spend an evening once again. Nice course, warm weather, good company and a pint at the end. I chipped in for a birdie on one of the par 5 holes! Never got birdie on a proper course before. Shot 101 in the end which was 9 shots better than the last time I played there. Mr Burrrrt got 115 and Baz 126. |

They vary around here from £10 for Stanley Park which is a fine muni course to £170 for Royal Lytham. I don't think I shall ever play Royal Lytham. Edit: it's actually £170 if you go in the week. £255 to play 18 holes there on a Saturday.

That was my point, given its in London too. Should point out that's a nine holer though. However our council runs a good few other courses too - indeed Bromley runs a disproportionately high number of leisure facilities for this day and age, and well by all accounts. |

Had a nice game at Duxbury Park in Chorley with Mr Burrrrt last night, lovely course. He played consistently well to card a thoroughly respectable 99. I on the other hand started off really well but no sooner had I begun contemplating my impending career change, having basically solved golf, than my tee shots began to swerve right. Then all my other shots followed, after losing six shots in one bunker I began to despair, finally scoring a horrible 121. To the driving range I think. |

121 is about what I score normally. |

| Author: | markg [ Thu Jul 25, 2013 14:50 ] |

I seem to be alternating between that and about 100, never really anything in between. I might actually get some lessons soon. |

A strange reversal of roles. It's usually me who slicing it like a bastard off the tee. Only the fourth time I've broken 100. Thought I'd got 100, but found I'd got the magic 99 after a recount when I got home.  ! !

Yeah, I just went on the field and it took me a full hour of practice to get my swing back in shape. Pretty sure it was my timing that had gone off, I was starting the downswing with my hands and arms instead of my hips, getting all crossed over myself. So much easier to puzzle these things out when you aren't also trying to contend with playing a game. |

Had a golf lesson last night. It was dead interesting. Some slight changes to the grip and backswing arc all explained really well. However it's going to make things worse before they get better. When I got all the pointers to come together the ball was indeed flying further than I have ever hit with that club however I'm going to need to practice like fuck in order to commit this new approach to muscle memory. |
