Had the round of my life today!

Had the round of my life today!

Don't judge me too harshly as it is not the longest of courses but has its difficulties around the greens and is an inland links. (Whalebone golf club)

I started playing golf in June 2024 having never picked up a club took up the game off the back of recommendations from a friend at work as I had not long stopped playing football and was looking for something to do again of a weekend. Best decision I have made in years and just wanted to show off my score today after many hours of pain and practice!😁😅

Ok, what we doing???

This was not a good position to hit from!

EDIT! Some cracking choices coming out here. I love hearing how other golfers think. I've even got a few clubs to try I would never normally use.

Close but no cigar…

13th hole at The Cambridgeshire Golf Club.

Par 3. 191yrds to the pin from the yellow tees. Slightly downwind and slightly downhill…lovely gentle draw with a 7-iron over the Barkway bunker guarding the right side of the green. Pitched, ran up, fed across the green right to left, and stopped just short. Oh well!

A bright spot in an otherwise pretty terrible round. 23 points stableford #facepalm

I’m clearly also using the official golf balls of r/BritGolf ;-)

How much golf is too much golf on a long-haul trip? 😂

Random thought after looking at some golf trips.

If you've flown halfway around the world to play golf, would you actually want to play every day?

I love golf, but I'm thinking after 4 or 5 rounds I'd probably want a couple of days to eat, explore and see where I've actually travelled to 😂

Or are you guys firmly in the “I didn't fly 12 hours to go sightseeing” camp?

What's your ideal balance?
