was it possible....yes i think !!

Posted by: user48641 | Fri 2nd Nov 2007 15:45 | Last Reply

Been a while since I posted as been really busy with my little son in all his golf comps.  So Firstly Hi to all.Anyways back in the dark ages I remember posting if it was possible to reduce your handicap down by quite a bit.   Just to let you all know that I started off as a 22 handicap back in April when I joined a local golf club, and now Ive managed to get down to 15 and Im well chuffed.  Strange thing is I think Ive only managed it because actually of the lack of golf Ive been playing on the full course and mainly due to all that time being spent on the pitch n putt course with my 6 year old, teching him what to do and actually applying it all myself when i play.  In all honesty my driving is still not that good (only drive about 200-220 i think on a good day.  But due to all that short course play it feels great to know that I can scramble a par/bogie result on most holes when i do mess up, against my big hitting playing partners and still beat them after 18 holes ....lolSo Big shout out for all of you that say its all about the short game !!  Your all so right....I think the next stumbling block is trying to maintain this handicap over winter !!

blimey chris, 10 competitive days in spain....some people have all the luck hey lol

2 coaches !! flippin heck i wish i could afford a coach but my prob is im too thick headed to listen to one...lol not to mention i just dont get the time after work (especially with kids)...

i got most my stuff out of books which to be honest made loads of sense and also pick loads up off my little sons coach every week  lol (and now everyones probably gonna start saying how lessons with a pro are essential to improve i know ) but i thought its probably better to try and understand a little more myself before i take any lessons, last thing i need is a pro telling me technical stuff i wont understand......
