What's the etiquette here? My nearest course has last tee time about 5.30.
But with the daylight hours, I could easily tee off at 6-ish after work and do 9 holes. But the pro shop is closed so I can't pay a green fee.
What's the etiquette here? Is it ok to just walk on and play a few holes after the official closing time?
Is it just me... Or are Sky really bad at telling you which player you're watching?
When they tee off, the name of the player comes up, but after than (for fairway/green etc) it's hard to work out who's actually playing.
Especially as most of the filming is (understandably) from behind the player.
Is it just me?
I suck at woods, just cannot connect more than 1/4 of the time, but my 5 iron is great, I can get about 140 out of it (Vs only 160-180 for my driver - I have a very short game Vs the average!!)
So I've taken all the woods/hybrids out of my bag and I'm just playing driver + irons. I can't say I'm shooting better or worse exactly but I certainly have a lot less duff shots.
Is that actually bad? I.e. is it ok to be happy with irons OR am I letting myself down in the long run? Does anyone else just play irons?
Generally all the articles I see online suggest that less under 10 is low, 10-20 is mid, and 20+ is high. Which suggests most golfers are 10-20
Is that about right?
In my (small) circle of golfing friends, only one person is below 20, and a few (myself included) are 30+.
For causal/weekend golfers is it reasonable to ever expect to be sub-20? Or do you need to be taking it quite seriously e.g. regular golf lessons, practicing a few times a week etc?
I feel like your first hole mentally makes you already decide whether it'll be a disaster or a triumph.
Smashed it off the 1st tee yesterday straight down the fairway. Had a decent round.
Same course today. Same weather. Same playing partner. Fluffed it off the tee, by the end of 3 holes I was 31 shots. Picked up my ball and went home.
Am I alone?
