The thought has crossed my mind Alex but I refuse to be beaten even though I am bloodied and bowed at the moment.

It is the Tour Caliber shots that are keeping me going and there really are enough of them in a round. Shame they have to be nullified by the other crap.

Tell you what; I cannot for the life of me recreate some of the horrendous mis-cues that I make. They are many and varied but I just cannot repeat them at will. Go figure.

Ever try deliberately hitting a shank - nigh on impossible. Ever deliberately Top the ball successfully - nigh on impossible. Ever hit one 45* left of the heel of a Wood deliberately - nigh on impossible. Yet I can do all of these without trying - nay, whilst trying very hard NOT to do them. AND ANOTHER THING, why is it that whenever I miss the fairway, or hit a bad shot that I always, without fail, lose the ball or have NOTHING to hit should I find it. I'm taking a 2 shot hit for every mistake.

On the other hand, today I hit a 4i 220 yards and over a 50 foot high Oak tree into the mouth of the green on the way to a bogey; 1st putt lipped out and 'aint that always the same! Trouble was, I preceded that shot with a drive 70 yds "fore right" and almost over the next fairway before fatting a five wood which just dribbled back to my own fairway.

Ho, hum. I will just try again tomorrow and hope I get closer to the unofficial 81 (par 73) than the official 100 of today.

Sorry for the rant Alex, and the rest of you out there who have the misfortune to be reading this tripe, but I have now got it of my chest.

UNTIL THE NEXT TIME.

You been watching me play??? That is my game at the moment and like you I cannot recreate any of the horrendous miscues that seem to happen. That fatted 3 wood nope....the hosel rocket nope....the toe hit that looks like a shank nope......its very annoying and like you I will not give up on this.
Maybe its time to head to the swamp to complete my training......you still interested in this?
