So pleased to have obtain my initial handicap of 37.7 about a month ago , after joining a club at the beginning of the year ( albeit had to wait until 30th March to play as a member due to Covid Restrictions) . Came second in my first competition ( 9 hole stableford) and represented the club in a mini league away match against another club - losing by one point on the last hole ( match play format ). LLG coaching over the years has certainly paid off !!!

After some purposeful practice on the range yesterday - played my first 9 holes as a fully paid up member of my new club this morning . the beginning of 'Operation Handicap ' with a target of mid May at the latest. Played reasonably well , no lost balls and the weather was amazing .

Indeed it was - note to self focus on what you can do , not what you can't .......

I agree Karla - excellent session - totally relatable and really recognise the issues of fatigue and dehydration . Definitely need to be thinking about the 'on course' nutrition plan . there is so much emphasis on technique and scoring - but this is equally important

Back in 2014 and mainly to convince my golfer husband , that I wasn't really interested in taking up golf , I had a couple of lessons .........little did I know then that I would be 'hooked' from the outset . I joined the LLG Community at the Three Hammers Golf Centre in Wolverhampton at the launch event in February 2015, taking part in the weekly coaching sessions and 5 years on , I am just about to join a golf club and starting working towards getting a handicap . Golf was something we could do together when we retired , however my lovely hubby passed away suddenly in 2017 and everything changed . I finally left full time employment in September 2019- full of anticipation of what retirement could offer and of course play more golf !! How fortunate we have been to be able to get out on the course this year , in spite of all the restrictions . Really appreciated the support of my lady golfing buddies and our fantastic coaches at Three Hammers over the last few months .
