Well done Richard. Having read your Profile page, you have done all the right things in preparing to take up this frustrating game.

Now then.  Sub 80...If you have the natural flair and talent for the game, and practice your short game you will achieve that figure before the summer.  Good luck, keep us posted

That puts me bang in trouble then!!

Well done Richard, I'm still trying to beat my best of 95 with two 97's in my last two rounds, and not managing to card below a 6 on the 17th and 18th both times.

I'm playing tomorrow so we'll see how it goes then

Congratulations Richard.

Having had the pleasure of playing golf with you I'm a bit surprised that you haven't broken 90 before!

You'll find that now you've broken 90 you'll start to do it on a regular basis.

 Nice one RLB keep it going.

" breaking 80 then 90" someone please explain the concept of this game to Waynetta

Matt Culling

If only Wayne. My score was going in th wrong direction again today with a 101, although conditions weren't great.

Still, there;s always next week :-)

Matt. The MOST important part of lowering your handicap is to practice the short game.

People tend to spend ages trying to be able to blast the ball off the tee, and think that's all they need to do.

Practice and practice and your handicap will come down. Putting is very important too, cause if you average 36 putts or more you have no chance of lowering your scores

Richard, from what you have just written you seriously need to work on your putting.

Just imagine what your scores would be if you managed to go around a golf course with two putts per hole.

Once you get to that standard then you start getting some one putts in!

We'll have a chat about putting the next time we play.
