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 :lol: ) 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 :evil: ) 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 :twisted:, 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 ?

So your next shot is your 3rd

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 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

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 :twisted: .

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)

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
