I had a net 67 last week 2nd in my division, followed up this week with a net 77 what a game eh, 67 in these conditions is good shooting mate well done84 for a nett 67 in round 2 of our Memorial Trophy today in breezy conditions, well pleased with that.
Only the 12 shots better than my first round effort. [emoji85]1 -

There's one on Coatbridge too, the guys run our small shopI've been to Airth range a few times myself, the Toptracer is decent but once you get past about 150 yards it seems to just guess how far every club goes [emoji23] I'd recommend the Fairways Indoor golf in Falkirk, they've got 4 indoor bays and the trackmans which are pretty accurate I find. Plus £20 for an hour is pretty good.0 -
[emoji23]Bet they end up 15 yards left or right of your target…0 -
[emoji1787] aye great for roll with the long irons and woods but different story landing greens, I got my first round of 2022 in today aswel went up to little hill as my course has some work being carried out, was brilliant to be back swinging again can't wait for the next break in the weatherFirst round of 2022 today. It was like playing on concrete.

New golfer here. How do you get over the fear of hitting in front of other people and also the anxiety of should I let them through, they’re letting me through etc?
I'm still a bit nervous Infront of members especially in medals were there could be upto 40+ people watching and not one could give a s**t unless you hit a beauty and you hear the praise., that anxiety will ease as you get use to it, a we tip would to just go easy don't smash it just a nice slow swing to get you started and away from the tee.
If there is a group behind waiting at every shot it's nice to let them through same if your the one behind being held up, it's a bit of common sense to be honest and you'll start to pick these things up,
Go out with some members or seasoned golfers and ask questions only way to learn imo0 -
Brilliant mateAn update on my daughters first round. She had an absolute ball! She isn’t “naturally gifted” and took a good few “practice” swings before making contact but she had fun and that’s all that matters. Golf can be incredibly frustrating at times but on the 7th she cleared the water and celebrated like she had just got a hole in one. Absolutely magnificent to see. Her joy must have rubbed off on me as well as I shot 2+ for the 9 holes. Driving range tonight I think2 -

That's a good idea think I'll bring it up to the greenkeeper, I asked shotscope to map my home course with winter greens on but no joy, I use the lazer but hate going in and out of my bag all the timeOur green convener put out a table last year with the distance from the centre of the winter green to the centre of the full green. Wasn't perfect, but at least gave you some idea of the yardage, especially for the likes of me that uses a GPS watch and not a laser rangefinder.0 -
[emoji23]f**k it…..I’m moving to Dubai0 -
Brutal. This time of year, plus my watch distances are a all off as the winter tees/greens aren't mapped,It’s putting on fairway…….which is nonsense.0 -
Lol, aye I hate mats too and winter/temp greens are the worse I can get use to the mats after a while but never with the crap greens,I think he meant tickets for the Open at St Andrews.
Talking about mat’s tho, I fucking hate them. I just can’t play off them. And if there are playing on winter greens I just cancel my tee time. I’d rather go to the range and smash 100 balls0 -
Do you have to use mats I want for the ballot twice last month but was unsuccessful [emoji35] was going to try again but I read there are mats on this time of year which put me offMe and my mate been successful in the Open ballot (we can only attend the first day due to our shift pattern in work). 95 quid a ticket and it needs paid by the 3rd of December. Good timing ya tory b*****ds, some of us actually have to save a bit at this time of year.0 -
Iv missed out twice in the ballot might give it one last chance not wanting to play on mats thoPlaying the Old Course on Saturday for the first time (success in the ballot)
Pretty excited about it and forecast looks ok - 11c with 13mph.
Appreciate that it is not the best course I will have played but really looking forward to the iconic holes and seeing if I can do a Tiger and stay out of all the bunkers (tough task and quite frankly with my record of sandy's oer the past few years maybe best going in them)
Our group play off 4, 8, 9 (me) and 14...what tees should we play off? Want to enter this as a General Play so that it is my last counting round of the year.

Cheers mateThe next one is in Rome in 2023.0 -
The us team have some emerging talent to, they also have a huge advantage as youth players and further up to NCAA, the European countries are all different in there approach to yougesters development some better than others,Very much this. We can complain about captains or qualifying all we want but the main issue we have is that the American team is far too strong for our out of form/older ragtag bunch of jobbers. In the past they have been stronger on paper for sure but this year’s gulf in class is the biggest in my lifetime.
I’m actually pretty confident a good few of the Europeans will step up to the plate, they must have been watching all weekend and thinking this is my chance to stake a place in this team. We have a good few veterans they should be looking to displace. Guys like Boab, who is not only a great golfer, but a big character is exactly the type of guy we need getting the finger out.
Is the Ryder cup on next year too0 -
Hes doing my box inEvery single time McGinley says "this shot will suit (insert European player here)", they proceed to make a rip roaring c**t of it.1 -
Hatton is imploding. Lowry is playing brilliantly.
Harrington should dropped Hatton and paired Lowry with Westwood.
Harrington should pair him with his right boot and kick him to f**k0 -
I did earlier and im a 14 HCI genuinely think I could have hit more fairways than Hatton today.1 -
Hate these yanky b*****ds, put the arrogant c***s in there box Europe

I think it's down to funding, the us players have a big advantage before they go pro were most otter countries have smaller pools of money spread more thinlyJust reading some comments on Twitter. Obviously great to see Bob, Calum and Grant Forrest doing well. The common denominator is that all 3 played college golf in the US. Have we lost the ability to produce home grown talent without them getting that competitive experience that the US college system provides?0 -
Offt, looks like Augusta Glasgow [emoji3]The 18th at Bishopbriggs now has an island green....

IV looked over that wall loads of times in jealousy, I'll need to get a round there anyone a member who can sign me on,A course I've a lot of time for. That par 5 along the top beside the road (13th??) is a lovely hole.
