I played in a board comp last weekend in which I came second on count back 12 months ago with 41 points. This year off 5 lower HCP I shot 19points, with 6 points on the back 9 . Ouch.
Low ebb for for me atm but the postive is it can only get better from here.
We still are, My 9 yo now has lessons, I am getting 2+ rounds in a week and my Wife proper has the bug and has upgraded from the RAM set she started with and now has 4-SW Cleveland HB Launchers and a Callaway FTIZ driver and a stunning OGIO cart bag.. better kit than me
You have just defined golf. Well said and so true.

It sucks very much
The format doesn’t really allow for much individual attention and overall wasn’t feeling like it was worthwhile - yes it’s cheap but that wasn’t the point really.
I then went and had a 1-2-1 lesson with someone else (one of these indoor places with a launch monitor setup) and that was ace - the teacher was great, the tech was helpful, and I felt like I got a lot more out of that.
Thing is, I don’t see how I make the jump to going out on the course - the one person who said he’d take me out for the first time refuses to contemplate it if any day of that same week has a little raindrop symbol anywhere on its weather forecast (drizzle forecast for 1am? better not risk it....) so I’ve not been out.
wondering how it will go if I just pole up one day on my own and busk it ...
I still play guitar but I'm pretty obsessive with things. I played guitar a good 6 - 10 hours and sometimes even more a day when I was young, if I could get away with practice like that at golf now I'd be chuffed. I practice guitar maybe 2 or 3 hours a week now, but after playing guitar for night on 30 years I'm not so worried about it.
My mum's side of the family are from St Andrews and were famous golf club makers for the royal family apparently too. Forgan for anyone that's interested. My dad is mad on the game too and would have loved for me to take it up but when I tried to learn as a kid I couldn't smash it like Jon Daly so gave up very quickly. You'd think it would be in the blood so to speak but I guess it took a while to ferment.
Got invited to play in a Texas Scramble 3 years ago and got the bug very badly indeed.
Visit a range probably 3 - 5 times a week now. Play at least twice a week, all through Winter too. Got down to a 12 handicap so some way to go yet, but depressingly enough, I've made more profit playing competitive golf in two years than 20 years of gigging original music.
Looking forward to another round...
I've played throughout last winter too but it was harsh at times...

Courses are superb Torrequebrada in particular, weather was perfect and the Mizunos are excellent, will get some pics up in a bit. Spongy fairways take some getting used to though to stop hitting everything fat.
And I will play all year unless its a real wet windy storm.
I play all year round but I've been pretty slack recently purely due to not having the time. I like the fact that courses are a bit emptier this time of year, and the rain makes the greens more receptive.
I hate umbrellas, so generally stick on the Galvin Greens and a bucket hat.
The guy who I normally play with is playing down at Remedy Oak in Wimbourne today. Lovely weather for it lol.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Moral of the story stay out of the rough if your wearing shorts.
i now have a lovely hole in the front of my shin which is still not healed
