Love golf and love trying to get better at it.

2024 Season goals to remind me of what all the hard work in practice sessions, gym sessions and runs are for! 🏌🏻‍♂️ 💪 🏆 #golf #GoalSetting

@pcdebol @MidwestGolfJake I’ve no issue with trying to make a course difficult for high level events but sometimes it gets taken too far! It’s also why you should probably trust the locals. They know their course better than anyone.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@pcdebol @MidwestGolfJake So are you saying not one player completed the course that day? That is a terrible set up!

@EndiePosts @colinrtalbot My sgian dubh is real in the sense that you can take it out the sheath but you’d do more damage with a pen than my sgian dubh. But I agree it wouldn’t change my life in the slightest if I was told I can’t wear it at weddings in the future.

@Top100Rick @LouStagner I’m sure AI has its place but for me personally I work on feel. My coach will physically move me into a position so I can feel the change he’s wanting us to implement. AI can’t do that. Yet.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Real_John_S @erobbins @korky122 @LouStagner That’s kind of my thinking. From the age of about 14 I never received a shot from my dad (7 hcap) or his mates (some as low as scratch). That’s what makes you a better player!

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@LouStagner The way I was brought up was that if you’re playing for money then you play off bare feet. So handicap system is irrelevant!

@Alex__90210 @NFLBillsWizard @Dr_DewSweep @GrumpsCrypto No, walking 18 is just part of playing golf. A workout out is stressing the body enough to cause physiological change. All I’m doing is giving examples as to why I have a point of view. Maybe it hits close to home and you’ve just realised you do this? Why else would you care?

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Alex__90210 @NFLBillsWizard @Dr_DewSweep @GrumpsCrypto …of the fourball does that even 3 times in a round you’ve practically walked an extra 9 holes between you! And yes I have been stuck behind this sort of behaviour! Walking can be slow but cart path only is also horrendous for pace of play.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Alex__90210 @NFLBillsWizard @Dr_DewSweep @GrumpsCrypto I’ve seen plenty of people walking across a fairway with a couple of clubs realise they’ve not got the shot they thought they had to then walk back across the fairway to get the right club. All of a sudden the 75 yard walk there and 75 yard walk back is doubled. If each member…

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@NFLBillsWizard @Dr_DewSweep @GrumpsCrypto If it’s cart path only it’s definitely not quicker than walking!

@Golfnut3288 @Jay_Sapovits @acaseofthegolf1 I’m assuming it’s a fairly new term or a regional term that’s starting to be used wider because I’ve played and watched golf for 35 years and this is the first time I’ve seen or heard it used.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@LouStagner @MMcEwanGolf @bunkeredgolf You’ve obviously never actually bothered to watch a clip of Laura Davies hit a golf shot if you think her doing that is any slower than pegging it up on a tee.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Top100Rick I use a larger one when I’m well out of the way of others and fairly far from the hole. I do this so I can see it easily from the other side of the hole so I can line up my putt while others are playing to save time. I use a small one near the hole or another players line.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Top100golfquest My phone has my GPS app on it. If it’s a course I don’t know I’ll be looking at the map on the tee and second shot to gauge distance to bunkers, hazards,etc. It might look to others like I’m texting continuously but I can assure I am not. Did you speak to him about it to clarify?

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@Tljefferson23 In match play comp if a putt is conceded I’ll move the ball a couple of inches and quickly hit a putt towards the hole. Not actually trying to hole it just keep a feel for the pace of the greens. If you don’t you can sometimes go 5 or 6 holes without hitting a meaningful putt.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@coyglol @elohao20857 @game_save234 It’s always possible to miss. Paul Broadhurst missed one that was barely an inch long! But if you’re playing a format of golf that allows gimmes then it’s up to your group/opponent what they’re happy conceding.

@PaulRamsay7 @JohnMorton215 @MorayGC Played it last September. Cracking course. Really enjoyed it and need to get another trip up to play it again.

[bngolf83 @bngolf83]

@PaulRamsay7 @JohnMorton215 @MorayGC That has to be up there for being one of the best timed pics!
