    Call me a simple man but a good solid tee shot on the first.
    Made even better when there are a few people, pre Covid, watching you tee off.

    never happens, the subtle glance around to the gallery after the rare pro shot is generally never seen, the chunk however is seen 360, at least that's what it feels like, similar to falling asleep at the desk in school

    Hardly? Very frustrating at a weekend with backlogs and other issues with booking times etc

    :D I'm on the committee in a small club which could do with being a little busier than it is - off peak times anyway - so for me a busy timesheet is a good thing. I dont expect every one to like it. Just as I dont like somethings that other people love about golf.

    I love talking about golf.

    Par 3's - leaving the bag at the next tee and walking to the green with a putter.

    I believe it was Greg Norman who said "happiness is a long walk with a putter" and I couldn't agree more.

    Getting off to a great start in a round, messing up after 5/6 great holes, and fighting back to return a good score. A great feeling.

    But comes with this the "that should have been xxpts"

    A common mistake of mine whilst forgetting the chip I thinned that hit the flag and went in and the drive I hooked and deflected off a tree back onto the fairway ;)

    I've been using the driver I got when I bought a full set for €200. Finally upgraded after my coach recommended I did. €89 on a 2014 second hand Bio Cell+. I know it's not going to be as good as a newer driver but I didn't scope around much and knew this would be an improvement on what I had without breaking the bank. Really looking forward to using it. Love the excitement.

    So lucky to be able to spend so many hours golfing with him.

    Nailing a 3 wood from about 220/230 out onto the green. I find the hardest shot in golf is hitting the 3 wood of the deck.. I did nail my rescue 200 yds out into a head wind last weekend at the Boards outing great feeling! of course I missed the birdie putt though :D

    Watching a downhill right to left putt track, track, track and then drop in to the hole after having to convince yourself to start it "that" far outside the hole.

    Pity the sound is not there at the moment. It'll come back!

    interclub matchplay is the best!!

    Its a weird one where you want to win, like trounce them because the pressure of a close match in the last few holes is ridiculous. Winning a close match is sweeter but the stress.... did I mention the stress?
