MONKMAN Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Few better sights in sport, than Tiger in full flow. Hopefully he gets that win under his belt and can compete at the top for the foreseeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Few better sights in sport, than Tiger in full flow. Hopefully he gets that win under his belt and can compete at the top for the foreseeable. What I've noticed from the bits and pieces I've seen is his on course demeanor looks much better now, as if he's just enjoying playing golf. While acknowledging that his off course problems have affected his game over the last 10 years, it's hard not to wonder what might've been had he gotten his back sorted out properly years ago.Whether he wins another major or not, let's hope he remains fit and competitive for a few years yet because his return is a big shot in the arm for golf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Chris Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 After a horrendous round in the team event on Saturday, I went up for 9 on our 9 hole course to exorcise the demons before work yesterday. Missed a 5 foot par putt on the last for an under par round, would have been my first for a couple of years. Disappointing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I played with 4 mates in a team best-ball (scramble) type competition yesterday. We finished with 8 birdies and 10 pars and were still 5 shots off the winners! Still the weather was sunny, the beer cold, the BBQ's great and I won 3 balls a chipping contest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Having been 4 wins and 0 losses to reach the quarter final of the Dell World Match Play Ian Poulter has just lost 8&6 to Kevin Kisner. Ouch Edit to add if he`d won today he would have made the top 50 in world rankings and got into the Masters. He`ll be 51st because he lost apparently. Ouch again.

peasy23 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Having been 4 wins and 0 losses to reach the quarter final of the Dell World Match Play Ian Poulter has just lost 8&6 to Kevin Kisner. Ouch Edit to add if he`d won today he would have made the top 50 in world rankings and got into the Masters. He`ll be 51st because he lost apparently. Ouch again. Thing was, he was told by journos that he was 100% definitely in the Masters, and despite him not being convinced they assured him that he was in. Then he found out 20 minutes before he went out to play Kisner that they were wrong. And fell apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I may be wrong but doesn’t next week count towards masters qualification? Or was this week the cut off point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, Houston Open next week is the last ranking event that counts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Bubba Watson is a c**t of the highest order. Sadly Kisner is aiding him to victory by playing like me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 My dad has given me his golf clubs as he can’t play anymore due to arthritis. I haven’t played in 20years, will it be easy to pick up again? Going to go and hit some balls at the range in the next few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to go and hit some balls at the range in the next few weeks. It’ll obviously differ by the person, but in short I’d say no, it won’t be easy IMO. I stopped playing for a couple of years in my youth and when I took it up again I found my short game on the fairway was still reasonable (7 iron upwards) but my driving off the tee and long irons were (and still are sometimes!) absolutely shocking. Easy fix if you put the practice in though and if the club you play at has a professional, it’s definitely worth getting a few lessons to suss out where you’re going wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Jenkins Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 By Christ I miss playing. Last five years has seen me stiffen up something chronic, thought it was a bad back as this is where most of the pain was. Eventually went to the docs and found out I have arthritis in both hips and require a double hip replacement, hopefully happening in the next few months. Really hope once its done and recovered I can swing a club again, to a decent standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJR Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hope it's okay to post this here! I'm a final year university student and I desperately need golfers to fill in my survey so I can complete my dissertation research. The link is below, it only takes 4-5 minutes and I'd be really appreciative of anyone who can spare the time!

It was a decent day out, and plenty bargains to be had if you're looking. I held second place on the golf darts for all of 30 seconds, when my mate beat me by 1 point [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Fantastic effort by Poulter this weekend. Needs to win the Texas Open to qualify for the Masters and after 1st round was outside top 100. Shoots 64 in round 2 and 65 in round 3 to lead going into final round. Still a big ask but tremendous effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
