Golf and related musings

I had about 7 years not playing but taking on retirement golf came back into play late last year

Used to play off 5 so it was a struggle coming back to that handicap….after knee replace,ent it was time for a lesson out doors with a guy who I thought from reading where what he had done would be good .

$165 and he fixed me in about 30 minutes …..just simple posture ball position and staying on my right side through impact ..

It was done out doors with track man and his video .

I’m up in nsw but most pga professionals wil look after you

Ken Fraser actually agreed with me on his assessment of his skills as Geography Teacher when we met at a DRC lunch.

He also pointed out I was a very inattentive and annoying student. I could only but agree. Great man, who apparently taught well in other subjects, and who remembered the worst students.

Barry Davis was a good PE teacher just so driven to perfection that he was very tough on us kids. Ken Fletcher was only at our school for a very short time, great footy coach. Think that was all who crossed my path in the 1960s !

Should we invite Welsh? He’s a member down here but been a while since he’s had a swing I think.

I’d be happy to come down and play

2 observations

  1. How much was the accumulated pot for an ace? Read a few articles on this but yet to find an answer.
  2. The fact that he looks like Patrick Reed ain’t helping his cause.

Is anyone here part of the MCC golf section? Entrance to the Kingston Heath round opens up tomorrow

Had another 36 points off 8 .

Threw Ina 4 putt went to tap it in and missed it .

Then 3 putted the last by not marking and putting out missed a 3 footer .

33 putts and only 1 double in 3 rounds so finally making inroads

Anyone make the most of the weather this weekend and get out for a hit? Went and had 9 at Royal Park this morning. Two off my best score there but I’d say easily my most consistent round. No blow-up holes, worst I got was a double bogey on a Par 5.
