First Game Back - What Are You Looking Forward To?

fred funk }{

A bit of a positive thread to gets us in the mood for return to golf. For me is the below....

1. Wearing shorts and tee-shirt and feeling the warmth as I'm walking down the first fairway.

2. The craic with my mates and the general chit chat about nothing.

3. Cant wait for my golfers suntan with the white left hand 😃

followed by a duck hook and simply not caring

For me it will be the feeling that we are getting something back. The lifting of some restrictions. A return to some form of normality.

Just getting out there to do something that you love. Out on the course, not caring, not thinking about anything serious, catching up with friends, talking sh1te.

Bliss

Mushy

A sweet strike of a provisional!

But seriously, itll be my first time playing since October so just hoping its tshirt weather, thatll be enough for me

willabur

just looking forward to pegging it up and launching the ball out there
Not expecting much from my first day back but when we get the qualifying comps back I'll look forward to getting back to my goal of getting to a sustainable single figure

Too many to list them all, but a few

• The feeling of a few first tee jitters
• A day out on the course with my Dad
• Playing for the Fiver. My Godfather, who is a terrible golfer, will be losing as we approach the 18th tee and without fail ask "Double-or-quits"...the look of joy on his face if he actually manages to win the 18th!
• Hitting that one shot in the round that makes you say...yeah, I'm not bad at this game
• Shaping the ball...on purpose
• Getting my hands on my new golf clubs, whenever they manage to arrive

Travelling more than 5km. 😉

blue note

I never play well when I'm expecting to. If I've been striking well, putting well I always need up somewhere along the way.

So since I have no right to have high expectations I reckon I'll be brilliant. I'm looking forward to shooting level par.

Actually had a dream the other night where I was playing but couldn't hit the ball, no matter what I did I just kept fresh-airing it. Woke up in a cold sweat

Just keep that thought in your head as you tee it up for 1st time in months lol

Break80

skulling my first chip through the green and thinking the past 6 weeks of back garden practice was a total waste of time.

As a father of a 5 week old I'm looking forward to a break. Couldn't care less if I hit it sideways.

Spending 4 hours outside in the fresh air.

You probably will hit it sideways after all those supposed sleepless nights, Teeing it up and trying to hit the ball with 2 half shut eyes won't be easy..Congratulations BTW.. Treasure these times they go by quickly

11 week old...have been building the brownie points so hopefully enough in the bank. Being off work helps

Don't think there is every enough brownie points built up. I'll be doing the night feeds for a week to get 4 hours on the course.

DuckSlice

Can’t wait to get on the first tee thinking I fixed all my swing faults I have due to following Harrington’s tips on Instagram, then pulling it a mile left and nearly taking out my windscreen!

Good times are ahead!

Season 2

Chipping a ball through a gap in the trees back on to the fairway.

Practice ground - just hitting balls down the practice ground for hours on end..... bitta peace and quiet and the joy of working on something. Cant be beaten

Yeah forgot about the driving range. It will be nice to get a bucket of balls and do a bit of practice.

Finally playing the round I was picturing in my head the last 8 weeks.
Course record ready to be shattered.
No one has ever shot 212 on my course with the same ball. God help all playing behind me.
I will need to bathe in wd40.

Joking aside, just having a game with my mates will be great. Hit maybe a few decent shots but to be back on the course is all I am looking forward too.

Kiith

Hitting a good drive on the first. Don't care about any other shot, but i think that first drive will go straight down the middle.

Believing it will happen is good enough, right? :P

Passed my course on this morning’s walk. Augusta on the Thursday of the Master’s wouldn’t look as good. Itching to step onto that first tee (and slice one onto the second fairway).

pinkdoubleeagle

Playing with my 11 and 13 year old in the fresh air and a little sun will do for me

I know that our practice ground won't be open next week, same with the putting green and chipping area. Not allowed access to shared surfaces
