Horribly inconsistent when I played regularly - scores ranged between 84 and 137 (last one was particularly painful/hilarious). Haven’t played properly in a couple of years, but did 9 holes at Nuneaton in the spring and carded what I think was a 44.
I do want to get back playing but have a lot of other commitments so golf’s kinda fallen by the wayside.

Nope, miles from it!
Well I suppose I could technically become a PGA Pro with that level of scoring, but when I think of 'pro' I think of guys who compete, and their handicaps (if they had one, pros don't have handicaps) would be like +6 or +7, which is just obscene - that's 7 or 8 shots better than me, the same difference between me and a 10 handicap.

Don’t forget, you also need to have a full repertoire of golf jokes to hand. Could need them at any moment.Front 9 yeah?

”I know what my problem is, I’m standing to close to the ball………..after I’ve hit it…

When I was young I wasn’t very good. But I was determined. I practiced for hours and hours every week for years and years.
Now I’m old.

Dusted the clubs off for the first time since 2023 and got back on it. Played nine or ten rounds since May. Thought I’d made some improvement on the weekend but went tonight and was awful. Ashamed to say I chucked my driver after putting two out of bounds off the tee in a row but thankfully there was nobody around. Enjoying though so will be keeping it up until the weather turns.

My lad (9) is massively into golf and it's making me want to play more. Never been great, aim is always to break 100.
Took him to Stoneleigh Par 3 last week, first time I'd picked up a club in well over a year. Thought I played ok, was hitting the ball fairly well, missed a few putts which could've brought my score down early on, went round in 37.... He went round in 39. It's annoying that he has more natural ability than me!

We used to have a few of us that used to play (try) maybe once a month-used to get some great cheap rounds on Tee times-some for less than a tenner a round! Wonder if that website is still a thing?
Probably need to make a few phone calls and try and get the band back together

Not sure that particular site still exists but golfnow is the most popular online tee booking platform.
Unfortunately it's very rare to find rounds under a tenner these days, like everything else in life it's a lot more expensive now.

Played the same course by me for the seventh time in eight weeks tonight. Feel like my good shots have improved but my bad ones have gotten worse and I haven’t made any improvement in the round scores. Tough game but great feeling when you catch it sweet. Several people have recommended a lesson and think I’ll give it a whirl.

Took him to Stoneleigh again yesterday.... Early morning start after a long effort at Gala Day (on the back of him being poorly last week) and understandably both of us were a lot worse...
Got soaked too.
Then parred the last hole and ready to go again

Have a look at Kondor Kidz. They run events for kids without handicaps or 36+.

Cheers for the heads up.
He played in the Adidas Junior Open (in the fun event as he doesnt have a handicap) last year, through Get Golfing as he got free membership at Ansty. Was a really good day, so sure he'd fancy something like this
