Your golf handicap ?

Ultima

Just got an email saying I finished 3rd and I'm now £28 the richer....whohoo

Ultima

Disappointed too as I 3 putted the last green for a bogey where a par would have been enough for the win on a count back

well done Martin

Cheers pal, it came as a surprise as you usually need 41 points to get into the top 10 at our club.....I think the windy conditions kept the scoring higher than usually.

Is it worth just having a general golf thread for any sort of golf chat?

Anyway my new bag and contents for the year ahead

                                                                                                                                               

Bag loaded and ready to go for the year

Taylor Made Superfast Burner 2.0 - Stiff shaft 9.5 degree.
Ping G10 3 Wood 15.5 degree - stiff shaft
Taylor Made Rescue - 18 Degree - regular steel shaft
4-Pw G10 Irons - Green dot, 1/2 inch longer than standard
52 degree Vokey Spin Milled Wedge
60 degree Ping Tour S Wedge
Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2.0

Still shows an extra 60 degree wedge which has been replaced with a no 4. R11 rescue instead.

very similar to my own club, usually 43 - 46 could win any given week, depending on conditions.

too many bandits around

really nice bag Booyaka

Changed my driver and Putter recently, got the Taylormade R11 8 degree driver and the Odyssey Two Ball SRT Putter.

going well with both of them so far.

8 degrees! holy cow that is very unusual but if you hit it good - who cares!

Can anybody recomend a new stand bag ? The leg snapped off my Sirixon one at the weekend

Had a bid on an Audi one on the bay today , but it never made the reserve

Going to a golf show at the NEC at the end of the month so I could do with some recommendations please .

Got bitten by the golf bug last year!

Wanted to take it up, never stepped onto a course before and was promptly told to get some lessons before I did!  Wife bought 6 x 30 mins lessons which I had between Feb and April 2011, then started playing most Sunday's with a couple of friends who are members of a local club.

Quickly broke 100, then 90 and now consistently playing to an "unofficial" handicap of 18.  I'm just about to become a member and looking at the last few cards, I think they'll give me a handicap somewhere between 16 to 18.

Wife has bought me three more lessons last Christmas and I'll use those soon as I'm starting to develop a pull with my irons and still useless with my Hybrid.

Have TaylorMade Superfast 2.0 driver, 5 wood and 5 hybrid and a set of Ping G10's that have been custom fitted (purple and 1/2" shorter).

Hoping to work this summer on consistency and course management rather than set a specific handicap target.

Well done and welcome to the "club"
