So surely I'm not the only person here who likes taking a firm grip on a rigid shaft with a rubber sleeve and having a bit of a play..

So where do you play?

What sort of scores?

Share some advice and some tips..

I just bought some Wilson Staff D-100 gear to replace some of my older clubs.

Currently I'm good for around a 41-44 on 9 holes..

What is the course a par 3 or 5.

Cause if your getting 14 over par I think your right handed playing with left handed clubs or holding the club upside down.:lol:

Course I play on mostly is par 37 for the back 9, 36 for the front..

Edit: told a furphy.. It's 35 on the front 9..

I can sometimes play as low as 3 over par and in my current ambrose comp I'm averaging 35 on 9 without a handicap..

Not bad at all. I dropped like 2g's on a pgf set like 5 years ago. Just have a hit every now and then. But when I had 3 months off couple of years back was playing Adelaide north course like 5 times a week and was finishing about 3 to 6 over par. But now with a few beers and pies the score card looks like a test cricket score card. Took all day and I finished on lost9 balls for 357 lol:lol:

Damn.. You should coach the Australian cricket team with that score!!

Yeah I was only playing once a blue moon but a few blokes at work sparked my interest again so I'm getting back into it..

Currently my major let down is any shot within 50m of the green.. Can put a ball on a green from 150m away.. But can't friggin chip from 5m off..

On a par 3 I would normally get 1 to 4 over. My short game is good but can hit really clean with the 3 & 5 woods but the driver I'm rubbish. But the driver when I do get a hit on it it's over the 250 sometimes the fence.

We are privileged here on the goldcoast, some of the nicest courses around and cheap!! Played royal pines (where aus open is about to start) the other day for $49 with a cart.

I get around in the same figures as SDP my pb being 78 at Lakelands. I'm currently using an old set of x16 callaways which are great but would love a new set of Taylor mades.

Love my driver of all the clubs, can bash a ball a fair distance which helps by having a 9deg Taylor made burner with Fujikura rombax shaft (super stiff!!).

Chipping and putting are my downfall.

Hats off buddy.. I can't hit a 9 degree driver for sh*t.. First bounce usually around 150m mark.. Unless I go all or nothing than I can get some pretty serious distance but straight or not is the question..

Yeah I like the course choices I have around home.. 2 good ones really close.. And a few smaller courses around the ridges..

I retired from flog over a decade ago after scoring a ton in torrential rain at Parkwood on the GC.

In short I have nothing constructive to add
