Cheers mate.

Playing in the comp I was pleasantly surprised with nature the game was played in. I was expecting a grumpy old men like scenario but it was the exact opposite and I really enjoyed it even had quite a few beers with a heap of blokes I've never meet before after the game.

I played with 2 blokes who are off 8 and 10 respectively and I swear I played better being around better players as stupid as that sounds I'm currently playing off 20.4

Can't wait to go around again.

Yep I find the same. I play better with low handicapp golfers. Beers afterwards are a bonus.

Don't worry, they are out there. I was on a cart path and took a few steps back to see where the pin was (as i had to play the shot over trees) and was quite firmly reminded that it was a club length (which I knew) from the path...worst part was, the guy wasn't even in my group!

[mighty_tiger_79]

Yeah I agree that if you play with low handicappers you also tend to play better.

I had a hit with a mate who plays off 6...The good thing was I was able to get tips during the round

best golf lesson ive had and I need them!!!!

Best thing is you don't have to ask questions, just observe and they don't even realise that you are doing it.....

[mighty_tiger_79]

Yeah but I asked a few questions and the advice I got has worked a treat


has anyone else seen The dan plan

[Banker]

has anyone else seen The dan plan

Ha awesome. I'm watching it now:

The story of a man who quits his job to become a professional golfer despite having never played the game.

http://vimeo.com/20162602

[bennymacca]

That was cool. He also mentioned it was 2011 do I guess he could have finished by now. Don't spoil it for me!

[mighty_tiger_79]

apparently he was on sbs - insight in july and just appeared on Golf Getaway sunday

I only briefly read some of his blog

ill watch that video a little later on,but his plan was to dedicate 10,000 hours to it!

quite impressive, that his first handicap was registered at 12

[bennymacca]

Yeah 10k hours is the commonly accepted about of time you need to "master" a skill.

If he practices 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, it will take him around 7 years 8 months to get good!

[mighty_tiger_79]

and he had a dream to get on tour

good luck to him I reckon for having a crack at it!

[Sorry Dude]

He's just over half way through the plan and is alredy a 2 handicapper. I have followed him from the very beginning and it is quite impresive.

Worst case scenario is he plays on the web.com tour and gets a few sponsor invites to a few tournaments and then plays on the senior pga for a few years.

If he does make it, once/ if he gets his cards the sponsors will be lining up for him.

Speaking of lessons does anyone know a place where have them and an approx. cost?

I really need to get rid of this slice off my Driver. I feel the rest of my game is going ok but off the Tee I have a bad slice. I have tried a heap of tips from a range of people but I think I should just get a couple of lessons to sort it out.

I Goggled golf lesson and there are a heap of them but does anyone know of the better ones around?

I have only had lessons with the club pro at thaxted..

Go on to iseekgolf and have a look at what people are saying on there. it is a forum i frequent quite a bit and you get some decent info from them.

on a side note, weather is going to be perfect on friday for a swing down at willunga! may even have to pull the shorts out...

[heater31]

Good luck with the driver straightening Carey. Not going to be easy as I'm told the mechanics of that swing is different than an iron swing.....
