Wow James. For £10 after 1 that's brilliant value. If I play my municipal, which is 9 holes it's £9.50, for 9! You played well here, especially putting and chips. See it gave you 17 course handicap so your score 2 under your par. Well done. I like the old municipals, they just get very busy especially with beginners. But, you've got to start somewhere I suppose.

Hi James, I notice you have a fairly restricted back swing, but follow through well. I do the opposite, but you get far more consistent shots and more distance, particularly off the tee, than I do. Watching some other tutorial videos, particularly "Easiest Swing", they also emphasise the importance of a full follow through and good finishing position. I think I need to follow your example. I am 68 years old and a little restricted in turning my body.
@notaperfectgolfer34892 ай бұрын
