Today was the first time in my life that I have had four, yes FOUR birdies in one round of golf.

On three other rounds I've managed to have three birdies.

I shot 78 on a par 70 course (SSS 69) playing off 13 (12.8)

As well as the four birdies I also managed eight pars.

Everything was going well and if I could have shot a par on the three blob holes I would have shot 72!!!

To make this round even better I had a birdie, birdie, birdie, par finish.

My handicap has gone down by one stroke to 12 (11.8), this is the lowest handicap I've had ever.

Sorry, forgot to mention the improvement in my driving as well.

On the fourth hole (345 yard Par 4) I hit my drive and when I got to my ball my GPS said I had 25 yards left to the center of the green!  So a mighty blow from me then.

Later on in the round I hit a 300 yard drive.

John Pettitt must take some credit for this improvement.

John came over to my course early last week and he told me that when I was hitting a poor shot it was because I hadn't completed my swing.

So today I made certain that I completed my swing on all my full shots.

It certainly made a difference today.

Congrats Russell,

Single figures by the end of the year?

Thanks David, that was my target at the start of the year.

nice russell thats exellent m8,ive never had 3 myself in 1 round altho i had 2 at the weekend ,with 4 double bogies to go with em ),

Fantastic Russ. I'll be coming to you for some tips soon. 4 in one round? I'd be lucky to get 4 in 10 rounds at the moment. Hope it keeps up for you.

Fantastic effort Russ, well played. Hope the good form continues.....

very well done never had a birdie myself but had 2 pars in one round which i was quite proud of

I have only had 5 birdies in my life time, let alone 4 in one round

Well done Russ. Excellent scoring mate!

Well done Russ excellent play. I hope you have no plans of bringing that kind of form to the Northern League Vs Southern League match next weekend!

Why am I not surprised one little bit. Russ is the first person who had asked me to look at their swing that stopped me in my tracks, as there was nothing he needed to change, especially on the range. On the course things were a little different, like we all can be, but I made a suggestion that seems to have been successful. No one flukes four birdies Russ or the eight pars. Very well done indeed.

Well done Russ and good luck getting to single figures!

Nice shooting Russ a nice way to finish a round off,lucky for you you don't know Paul Everett's teacher!!

"Now Russ, widen your stance .. more than that. Take the club way, way back ... now swing as hard and as fast as you can .... Oh, wheres that one going? It always goes straight when I swing like that!"

it would be nice to get 1 birdie in a round lol

 Well done Russ. Interesting to note that the driving got a mention as that is a key factor for me also: if I'm driving well and keeping it in play I always seem to score well. Nice of you to acknowledge JP's input. 

B@#~!t!

Nice shooting Russ.  I got two birdies in one round for the first time last week (including a 40 foot putt on the 18th) and was well happy with that.  Four in a round is the staff of dreams.  Well done mate. 

Well done Russ,

That's the scoring of a pro!! You'll be disappointed now if you don't average at least 2 birdies each round

I'm glad your not / was  in my qualifying region!
