9 holes this morning - Forest of Arden back 9 . Bit wet underfoot but greens holding up well.
That is indeed a long hole. It's a shame you had to take a drop.
I find the long par 3s toughest - the ones when you can't GIR because it's just too far. Having to hope for a couple of good shots then a 1 putt is a combo I can't do often.

+9 through 9 holes so effectively playing to handicap . Quite pleased as it's only my 2nd outing since last yearHow did you go?
It always helps just being able to go round the course with no hold-ups.
Those scores seem to be coming down nicely.
I had a lesson last week. I hit a few with my 7 iron to start off. The Pro said I had a decent looking swing but too slow. I was carrying on average 105yds with my 7 iron (best was 114). He said with your swing action we should be looking to be at least 140yds carry.
He then got me to do a couple of simple swing drills which I could't do - I just kept missing the ball or shanking it. He then said just do your normal swing and get your eye back in. I couldn't - it had all totally gone after 25 minutes.
I assume it'll get worse before it gets better. I've got another lesson booked for next week.
Maybe, but you could also find that next round you hit a 5 wood like you've never seen one before but your putting is red hot.
You know how it goes . . .
I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole with my golf game at the moment. Every week it's something different so I go to the range and work on that and then something else pops out. Golf, eh?
I've only packed up once - I usually just suck it up.We got rained off today. First time that has ever happened. I've been rained on a few times but never to the point we had to pack up and go home. I guess that's what we get for playing in the afternoon.

March was so wet though that the rain caused the course to be closed a few times so didn't even get to play in the first place.
You're abroad aren't you - tropical rains you were having? Aren't they warm?
