just got back from a round on collier park and i'm improving my game, absoluely nailing my pitching shots (30~100m straight onto the green), driving was 50/50. One thing i do hate...CHEATERS, i was keeping score of a mate who i knew wasnt telling the truth on the previous holes, scored 7 on a par 4 when i scored 6 yet he hit the ball atleast 4 more times than me. on the second last whole he reckoned he got 7 on a par 4, which everyone questioned because he took 5 shots to get into a bunker. on the last hole it took him 7 shots to get into a bunker then 4 to get out (did a dropshot after the 3th  ) then 3 to putt, this equalls 14 right??? he then says he got 10 LMAO me and another mates dad were like nah we were counting that was more like 14. he got super pissed and was like Fuck off dom, you were hitting from the other fairway and scored just 10? (i mega sliced the ball, so i tee'd off again which is like a drop shot and that sliced too  ) i told him it took me 6 shots to get back on the green (including a pitching shot that hit the tree and came back to me  , than a 3 putt which equalls 10, that was my worst hole of the game. i can respect a man who is a crappy golfer but has a fair crack, i cant stand someone who constantly claims 3~4 shots below his actuall score per hole yet still gets 75 on a par 36

This part of golf in a social round should not bother you in the slightest as the only concern you have is to improve your golf , who cares about him ? domo_the_eagle wrote:i mega sliced the ball, so i tee'd off again which is like a drop shot
So your next shot is your 3rd domo_the_eagle wrote:it took me 6 shots to get back on the green
so your next shot is your 10th domo_the_eagle wrote:than a 3 putt which equals 10,
3 putt's =12 if you never used your 1st ball that sliced. Having said all that mate remember a bad day at golf is better than a good day at work, great to see you have the bug Dom and look forward to game when we come and stay at Burswood.

i know it shouldn't bother me but he always does it. cheese wrote: domo_the_eagle wrote:i mega sliced the ball, so i tee'd off again which is like a drop shot

yes cheese wrote: domo_the_eagle wrote:it took me 6 shots to get back on the green

i worded this wrong, i should have said either A) it took me another 4 shots to get onto the green, or B) it took me 7 shots to get onto the green cheese wrote:Having said all that mate remember a bad day at golf is better than a good day at work, great to see you have the bug Dom and look forward to game when we come and stay at Burswood.
definetly, PM or call me when you down and we'll do a round, i'm quite the amateur golfer (in other words, a bit of a hack at times) though

It's nice to have mates to have a hit with so take that into account. There is nothing worse than playing shit golf but when you are really struggling sometimes it's nice to have encouragement, so try that angle without sounding like you know how and he doesn't. Or just count his shots out as he goes with him so he can't hide from it  .

nah, we as a group decided to relegate this guy to the driving range for a few weeks  , we do give him engouragement and tips now and then but he does take the tips the wrong way so i've stopped that.

With the number of shots you're having, at least you can't complain you're not getting maximum use of your golf clubs. Once you go past 10, who really cares how many shots you've had on a hole?
Brad Ebert: when other Eberts just don't cut it.
Instead of this we have luxury and avarice; public indigence side by side with private opulence; we glorify wealth and pursue idleness; between the worthy and the unworthy we make no distinction; all the prizes of virtue are awarded to ambition. - Gaius Sallustius Crispus (c.50BC)

its the principle of it, but i'm gald to say that was my only 10 (and highest) of my round, even my mates have said that my game has improved remarkably since i took up the sport 3 months ago.

If you're really serious, have a few private lessons before the bad habits become in-grained.

its for your own improvement, say you average 15 per hole, which is horrendus but then in a few months that gradually reduces to 7 per hole. it gives you a quantitive figure of how much you've improved rather than a feel of it. i'm definetly striking the ball much better, my pitching was awesome last week and driving was adequate. i just need to work on my chipping as i have a tendancy to duff it and then watch my ball roll across the green and my score blow out. incidentally where i recorded scored of 9,9 and 10 was where i either buggered my drive or duffed a chip
