    I’ve been occasionally hitting the hosel on 20-40 yard pitch shots. Most of the time my pitch shots hit a bit towards the toe so I don’t know where these came from. 😏

    I've been firing off a few of late. Had 3 today ... Every one straight into the sh*t, it's getting costly.

    I even managed to imprint the 8i hosel with a perfect print of my Sharpie Pen ball marking, impressive.

    They've come out of nowhere a week out from the club champs stroke event ... dear god !

    checking in!

    RA #3, found the dune on the right hand side (a popular spot for me!) had a 56 degree wedge on a severe downslope with the ball well below my feet only and buried the hosel into the back of the ball, managed to miss Marcel by about 3 metres, ended up with another bad lie resulting in an inevitable wipe for the hole

    Definitely one today, GW from 80m out fired off at 45* right in to the trees.

    After that 2x 8 iron, 1x 9 iron and 7 iron too but some of them seemed to be more off the toe - had lost interest by then so didn't look in to it too much. Put it this way NO-ONE was game to wander ahead off to my right during the bulk of the round! Stupid game ............. guess I need to get out there more.

    Whoops, should've checked in for mine a fortnight ago at pennant.

    65m in, ball about 6 inches above my feet, had to flop it over a 4m tree about 15m in front of me. "Easy 58°, piece of piss!!!", I thought.

    I could see my ball nestled deeply in the shiny leaf, but be ****ed if I was going in to get it.

    Went back 2 back yesterday. First one was from 71m in the middle of the fairway that ended up pin high but 55m right. Second one ended up back of the green and a perfect view of from where the first one was played from.

    Check in for one at the Reddy Bay back marker.

    Stupid 15th hole, hit a fantastic drive that still had no clear look at the green (stupid hole design). Figured a little spinny punch 8i under the tree would be delightful...

    The rest, they say, is history. And the ball was OB.

    How is it a fantastic drive if you can’t see the green for your 2nd?

    I couldn't hit it any better, or longer, or straighter to middle fairway. 50m from the flag but still had no decent shot to the green.

    There was no line I could hit with my longest drive to have a clear shot at the green.

    If you can’t see the fag from 50m away I’d suggest “fantastic” is a bit optimistic.

    If it's the best drive I have hit in 12 months, I'd call it fantastic.

    I think with the use of fantastic and optimistic, we've seen the fag here quite easily.

    You had a shot at the green just not at the pin tucked right. I hit the green fine and was around the corner more. The stupid overhanging trees are an issue bit the hole curls around the creek so it's nowhere near as bad as 8.

    I'm checking in for the first time in quite a while, with a really meaty one off the 17th tee today. I had decided a few holes earlier to change my swing path a bit, to go more upright, and this was the first iron I hit using the method. I now remember why I abandoned the more upright theory.

    From an impossible position I made the world's best bogey, but that is no consolation really.

    Bunker shanks and flop shot shanks are also right up there.

    I don't always hit my greenside flop shots 60m, but when I do, they go 45 degrees right.
