I've been keeping a little blog here - just as a matter of record for myself really too look at my progress (I had lesson 1 2 months ago). Is it visible to everyone, or is it jsut me and my "buddies"?

I have read your blog, Nick, and I must say that you appear to be doing everything in the right order.
If your new swing is pretty correct then you will see a rapid progression when you get onto the course.
Slow play is not caused by hitting poor shots at all, it is usually because the amblers have not yet learned to walk at a brisk pace.

Thanks John. I feel like I am trying to learn a skill that will last me the rest of my life, and some lessons, and care with attention to detail in practice are the way to go, rather than truning up at the black tees with a borrowed driver and sending the ball 200 yards beyond the white posts.
That'll still happen I am sure, but at least I might have some idea why. I am staggered that already, when I hit a bad one, I could tell you why it went wrong. I'm sure just a few more lessons and a couple more lunchtimes at the range will be all I need to get a Tour Card!

Hello Sanderslongdrive
You need to go to the Community tab, and they are at the bottom of the list. It's not obvious.

Yes - the blogs are not easy to follow, because as people add their own, others just disappear.
However, we do have our own unique page, with just our own blogs on.
To get there you need to follow a secret sequence of events.
1. Click on my name. It takes you to my details.
2. You will see a "my blog" tab. Click that.
And there you go. I think that you have to be logged in to Golf Shake to see this - we can't have the hoi polloi non members reading the information shared.
Let me know how to get in touch.
