it's heartwarming that no one is considering that the distance to the water could have been misjudged  

looked a lot further than 260 to me but my friend is a pretty accurate guy and we'll take him at his word

[Can't remember who is involved but they have the same %]

Remember this? Slowest Grim Ever.

Gonna dust off the rest of the stake money this weekend in a 500 comp being held here. There is no guarantee on the prize pool but 200 online qualifiers from Italy so assuming 1a has decent numbers I'll play 1b on Friday.

Updates in here as always.

Can't remember who is involved but they have the same % they bought at 0.8 around 10 months ago. No refunds i'm afraid

re-assuring   

it's alot easier to just elongate your swing or twat it a bit more than it is to twat it correctly.  so you should be fine.

I cannot believe how reserved I have been to not make a joke about how you grip it   

Distance comes with technique.

Next time you are at the range, literally take a half swing for a couple of shots and compare it to whatever you consider your normal swing (generally try not to go beyond parrallel with your shoulders or it all starts to get joke hard to control). Compare the accuracy for consistancy, and then compare what distances you are achieving.

on a 600 yard hole you just have to plan your shots, you know you're not making it in 2 maybe not in 3, so mental game wise setting achievable targets and not having to lose balls/drop and take penalties will clean up a tonne of shots off your score.


I feel we need you and franky to start taking some videos and uploading them for us to all enjoy. you could go viral falling in the water hazards 

you can hit the ball well over 1/2 of your maximum distance with only half a back swing.  the further and longer you swing the club the more chance to cock it up or for it to go off track. 0.01 degree off multiplied by hitting it 200 yards means it's well off down range.


dont try and John Daly it wrapping the club around you 5 times, just go back halfway work on bringing it through right, using your hip rotation to provide the punch and stare at the floor until the ball is out of your sight. lifting your head to 'chase where the ball went and see if its a good shot' just changes your posture and you hit too high on the ball or over it etc.

dont try and hit the ball high either, the club face is what gives the ball its lift from rolling up it, it's club selection and positioning the ball in your stance that defines how the shot is shaped/what course it takes.

golf is pretty much all technique and mental game you don't have to be particularly phsyically strong to hit decent distances (+ medium distances straight is much better than long distances to the side), being both mentally strong in terms of focus and discipline and logically strong in the type of shot selected are the main differences in golfer skill.

if you have a decent coach at a big club or range, he likely has access to the camera equipment to watch back your swing and see your errors/inconsistencies which is a nice way to understand what you are being told. often they will tell you about your grip or your stance and changing this when you stand to the ball just feels so weird you just have to keep doing it until it is the new norm.


 

No tournaments Vinnie?

nope, just low stakes cash to start the roll out. very hard to have the liquidity for any kind of tournament schedule straight from the off.

wait I thought that list was a list of good placards   

We shall over comb is brilliant.

37th place finisher really deserved a write up of his bust out hand 

I was cursing you for not revealing what it was, but it is well worth the effort of searching through pokernews for it.  It is on day 6 to make the search easier.  Imagine getting that far and then doing that? 

The Vanessa Selbst exit was classic Selbst too.

whilst it's clearly a dumb punt. the guy tanked for 8 mins if I read the reporting right, with essentially the top of his range, as AQ in this spot is likely better than KK with blocker removal for top set. if he folds 'shes a genius'.  Pretty similar to mizrachi punting ridiculously the whole of the time on pokergo stream and having people make insanely tight folds so everyone lauded him for being great at building a stack.

results orientated ftw

the discipline to get to day 6. but then the absolute balls to do that, stack off, get up, coat on, bag on shoulder. farcical torching of equity 

37th place finisher really deserved a write up of his bust out hand 

it was a great tv apperance    absolutely genius comic timing 

I wish one of the main parties had the integrity to say clearly they have no interest in pursuing the referendum result and in the case of the Tories they could add that they are clueless how to after 2 years of vacillation. They could also add that they really really hope a different outcome is reached. Pathetic bunch.

Yep, completely agree, I voted Leave but now I think the best thing would be Mrs May stating;

Hands up, two years in, we have no sensible options, we cant deliver this, David Cameron is a twat.

she should turn into Danny Dyer then you're saying?    Danny Dyer 

i'm sure there's something else you can play still no?


paaaaai lil dave his monies weeeeeeeeeeeeee   

get em!
