Only problem is, that was just the front 9.....

Stupid game, stupid ball.....

Did 47 on back 9 tho - what an unbelievable round it was just crazy even managed an 11 on a par 3...

Role on this Sundays  comp - I can't possibly be that bad again can I.........

Well can I................

Robbie, congratulations on the 79.

All you've got to do now is stretch it out over the full 18 holes.

Your back nine was much better so something obviously started to work for you.

Keep going, I'm certain that you'll start to improve your scores soon.

I'm impressed by the determination to finish after a 79 on the front 9. Shows solid determination/masochism (take your pick...)

Thing is I can't concede defeat - I keep going to the bitter end and actually finished the round with a par.....

The back 9 saw me go back to basics with my GAPS:

G
rip
Allignment
Posture
Stance

A range visits in order tomorrow morning to see whats going on and hopefully come Sunday it will be much better....

alright - I give in - what's a diabetic draw? Is this another term to go with the Sally Gunnell and Douglas Bader??

Hi Carol,

No, not really. I was diagnosed with diabetes last December and my mates now refer to my golf swing as a diabetic draw...

Thanks for that Robbie! Sorry to hear about the diabetes, but  I know what it means now. At least when I refer to my 'old lady swing' it's self explanatory!
