    <p>oh shit. When i am looking at a green, all i can see is "sand. Water. Rough. Tree" i can never focus on the perfectly mown bit of grass with the flag on it. So of course, where does the ball go?</p>

    <p>my golf got better when i accepted i was rubbish, and decided to enjoy it for what it was, a stroll in the sunshine, a challenge, a beer, and a laugh with the boys. So i relaxed, and suddenly started playing better.  </p>

    <p>Yea, when I was 'good' I took it far too seriously and took away any enjoyment I used to get, and it took qualifying for the NZ Amateur, and then playing (poorly) for me to really grasp this</p>

    <p>What's your hatiest shot in golf?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I have two.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>1: Crushed drive that splits the fairway (That's not the bad part) followed by a fat wedge!  I hate fatting my wedge (Usually reverse pivoting but can't change that mid swing)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>2: decel on my short chips that makes it fluff about a foot or two. (To be fair I don't really do that any more as I'd rather be ten feet past than ten feet short</p>
    </div>
    </blockquote>
    <p> </p>
    <p>1 - mine arent fat wedges, my are gutted through the back of the green, often out of bounds....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Probably my other thing is when a particular hole gets you, I had 2 holes in particular that I just couldnt do anything with...one was a par 5, straight fairly tight...sweet 5 iron down the middle, shank next 5 iron out of bounds....smoke a drive down the middle, which allows me to catch the down slope and be within 7-9 iron in, that I duly put out of bounds, both wide and long :(</p>

    Yes!!! The mockers hole. Our piss easy par 3 tenth has me by the balls. I've even started to shank on it and I don't have a shank. Shits me to tears. Closest I've come to putting my club over my knee in recent times.

    <p>At the club I grew up on, which is a short 9 hole course, there is a par 5, which is a short dogleg of 449m with an elevated green...I think it is probably the only par 5 on any course I have played more than a few times I have never putted for eagle on, and I have probably had only a handful of birdies on it, despite me playing the course significantly more than any other! </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Had a shitload of bogies with a penalty strokes on it!!  :ireful:</p>

    <p>REAL keen to get back into golf this summer.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Basically gave it up when I moved to Oz aged 16, was on single figure handicap and offered provincial coaching just before I left.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Whats the latest and greatest driver/irons/wedge/putter/balls gents? looking to do a good bit of research.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>My driving was always big and my short game always very very good, but my iron play has always been gash. Hitting greens in regulation has always been an issue for me. Any genius iron players in here? need to pick your brain.</p>

    Hey bar, best bet is to go down the local pro shop / range and hit a few different clubs and see what feels / works best for you. <br><br>
    With technology now they can measure all types of stuff that's not obvious with the eye and see exactly what clubs are right for you

    <p>Way ahead of ya, already got a place to go and get fitted. Just wondering if there were any clubs that were way in front of the competition right now.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I think that was a big reason I had issues with Irons I think they were the wrong size.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Excited to upgrade the technology of my clubs from 1999 to 2015!</p>
