SL2010 Event 6 Gainsborough

allan has rung up and got the deposit down to £50 so i will ring up tomorrow and pay it.this way we haven t got to chuff about asking for deposits off everyone and sorting a payment method out.

myself and chris played the lakes yesterday and it was in cracking condition.the fairways had a bit of bounce in them and the greens were holding well but also getting a bit quicker than they have been.

   if it carrys on improving as it has been it will be in fantastic nick for our final event there in september

only 23 players confirmed and we have 7 places left,if they are not filled in the next week or so i will be putting it on golfshake.

i need to confirm numbers to the club a week before we play and i would like to get all the places full and confirmed by then

Jesus, Mary and Joseph

I thought I'd had my name down for months but found that was not the case when I checked tonight.

Can't let the opportunity for a decent showing pass me by ;-)

See you there lads.  Shame it wasn;t possible for me to get booked in at Ping any earlier than 28 Sept for fitting for the new K15s......

sorry to let you all down at the last minute but i am going to have to withdraw from this event

my ex-wife has got to go and have a lump removed from her breast so i will be looking after my son over the weekend

sorry

darren

ok Darren, hope everything goes ok

Aw, gee thanks for the nearest the pin on the 17th Chris.  Have had 3 goes in 1 round to get across that water and still haven't made it yet!

Hi Chris

I'm sorry to have to do this but I'm going to have to pull out of Sunday's event.

A couple of weeks back I played with Nigel and Malcolm, and after a very good opening five holes I suddenly developed a dreadful shank - so much so that I was nervous wreck standing over every iron shot.  The driver is fine.

Anyway, I played Hickleton today just as bad - something is fundamentally wrong!!

I have read that this can be caused by a number of things, so I need to try and find out what's going wrong - any help would be much appreciated.

I really don't think that playing will do me any good at the moment.

I will, of course cover any expense - food and fees etc.

Once again,sorry and good luck to everyone on Sunday.

Cheers

Steve 

If you need tips on losing a severe shank ask Pat, he had three beauties yesterday

Chris is right Steve, have an hour on the driving range and you will be hitting them like Tiger!

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the support and encouragement but I really feel as if I just want to wait a while before getting out on the course again - Tuesday at Hickleton was just so frustrating and embarrassing.  I know people will say "if you fall off you need to get back on again ASAP", but first I need to get the problem out of my head.

Enjoy yourselves on Sunday, and hopefully I'll see you all at Flamborough.

Thanks again.

 Bloody hell, bad news travels quick. Steve, yes, a shank is a near perfect shot and I've had several bouts of these. When I first got them I was also a nervous wreck, so much so I ended up stretching for the ball at address which is no way to sort it out. It's neither a result of standing too close to the ball (look at some of the pro's Furyck is a good example). It makes sense to see it as the clubhead coming out of the desired axis, usually for me I get them when I lean into the shot. Remedy: go to the practice pitch and start purposely quarter swings concentrating on the swing following the same axis and build the swing up. You'll soon be free of them.

 I'll be practicing myself this Saturday at Moor Allerton if you want to pop over for a couple of hours and maybe play a game ar 4 if you want.
