After speaking to Duds, who used to set a divisional banter thread each event, then the idea, because of low post counts in past, is now to have this one thread and i will post the new event each week for members to chat about anything relevant to that particular competition throughout the season. I am only doing this as Duds is due to be absent from here in a few months time. Please just chat away ;-) WEEK 1 : Billy Mays Memorial @ The Red Thorn Golf Club

After a difficult start with E after 7, somehow made 10 birds in a row to still end up with 10 under. Very happy with that comeback

Practice makes perfect? Nah, just made me average. Nowhere near contending through R4 but will hopefully avoid a strike. Tough track to go really low on, but just kept catching the wrong edges of slopes on approach. Trying to be too clever.
Struck the ball well bar a swing desertion for about 8 holes R3.
On holiday all next week so will have to ram my rounds in Saturday night when I’m back :/

This course proves to be difficult with these round 2 winds...68 will drop me down on the leaderboard

Finished week 1 at 7 over. Will be in CC-B next week. I will be following you down in about three weeks Wags, I just can’t buy a putt so it doesn’t make any odds which club set I use.

I'm just baffled at how fast the swing can go for me. a few holes I am hitting P/P and straight-ish, then I cant keep it in the cone and hitting p/s. Makes no sense.

I’ve ended up changing my swing technique recently. Has made a huge difference. I won’t go into all the boring details unless anyone’s interested but regardless of how straight I feel I’m swinging it, if I really thwack the stick forward, I’m wayward. Gentle flicks (ooh errr!!) seem to yield the most repeatable results. Tour clubs by the way.

I'm still getting one or two fast swings each round as well (Tour clubs). It really messes with your head. It usually leads to a brief lack of concentration on the greens, or next approach shot. This results in a couple lost strokes a round. However, I still enjoy the Tour clubs and will always use them. I feel I can avoid a strike this week, but no where near top of leaderboard. Rd 1 63 Rd 2 69 (I really need to get better with approach shots in 17 mph winds Rd 3 64 Sitting at -14 through 3 rds. Hope to put together a solid rd 4. Good luck all! Titan, we continue to play almost identical rounds...Nice rivalry heating up. See you on the intrepid circuit soon!

Last time the 'save' score to avoid a strike was -21 but i think that was a way easier tournament. You should be fine with a decent last round

Titan, we continue to play almost identical rounds...Nice rivalry heating up. See you on the intrepid circuit soon! I noticed we had tied scores rd 1, the wind in rd 2 was just a little bit to strong for my player clubs, drives were just coming up too short for any real approach shots, ended up with a 70 rd 2, rd 3 and 4 were just average at best. -15 total for the 4 rounds, disappointed really, the course wasnt hard and there were lots of birdie chances, i just couldnt putt.. lol. Yeah bring on the battle!, gonna be a good competitive season!. Good Luck Buddy!.
