Members opening day at McDonald Cardrona Golf Course in March, this was a closest the hole comp on the day but had it been a few degrees warmer it could have rolled the last 4 inches. Still waiting...

For those that carry or walk, I'd be interested in how many balls you carry in a competition. Not to be pessimisstic but I do have more than 12 when in reality I'm rarely losing a ball per round. I know that at the club even a few low handicappers will take an extra to some tee shots even though they have been striping it all day.

I can't remember the exact stats but ShotScope published something at the end of last year that broke down the % of golfers likely to break certain numbers and breaking 70 was something like .2% of all worldwide golfers.

We have a practice green, two nets and a range where the maximum club allowed is 7i. I do always play better though if I have hit a bucket (of my own balls) to loosen up, 50yds 75yds 100yds 125yds up hill. Have been working on a more structured putting regime but there are no straight putts on our green so very much speed training and assessing damp and wind.

As a 20 something handicapper I think its must have as others have stated the %s sit with those players chunking or thining it. I've dropped down alot in the last 2 years and it comes with confidence of those shots again as many have said. In Scotland currently we have fast greens and sluggish fairways, so all about lie and distance. The hybrid is a great shout for the up and in. I started using it after seeing Morikawa use his 3 wood from the fringe in bad rain.

Late to the party on this one @BostonSal being a UK player, I would that fitting is still down to the select with some £££ or the talent. For me I have been adapting my bag as my game slowly improves, so at the moment I think 8 different shafts: Driver - self chosen 55g stiff Adila 3w & 4h - Taylormade 2017 stock 65g s 2i - Mizuno rifle reg flex maybe a 90g not sure 5,6,8,P - KBS 90g reg flex 9, - 90g stiff as it previous owner lost his 9iron from set 7 - reg 85g, I hit a tree root, flushed the ball 200 to the green and the head went 120 behind it. SW - Lynx wedge flex LW - KBS tour clite taper 110g stiff Ping Sigma 2 stock shaft. Rubbish I can't count ...9 different ones.

I have used a number of different apps since returning to golf in 2018/19. I started with a scorecard app that had some mapping but little in terms of stats. I moved to Golfshot which had a better function in stats and being app to record shots on a GPS track, I know the premium version allows you to manipulate the shot tracker should you wish to see a lay up option. Have tried GRINT and 18Birdies but I have found the best stats recall and layout and directory of courses I use Taylormade On Course. I had been recording every round but of late with a need to flatten my handicap differences I play each shot and use a scorecard.

My Club is a 9hole played all year round, everyone walks bar one Gent who has a ride on buggy, I think cart golf is still reserved to the big ticket clubs in Scotland £££. I always carried and moved to a 3wheel trolley for comp days.

Crazy bad followed by crazy good. Horrible slice off the tee to land 5ft behind players on next tee. Second shot 156 yds in with tree 3ft in front of me and other trees 50yds out from green. Hit punch 5i keeping it low under the tree and just skims the others and rolls to 2ft for a birdie.
