    No worries, Grant. Thought you might appreciate that ...

    Actually, don't worry about the Burner. Get an AURORA!

    Just spent a few hours swinging the Swingmaster to get some rhythm & tempo into my swing. Today I felt like i was swinging ok, just a few time frustration of the bad outcomes got the better of me and I was trying to hit the cover off the ball.
    Another thing I noticed I was doing off the tee, I think I am standing too close to the ball. I have just started to tee the ball higher and as a result if I get it wrong I seem to almost shank the drive. I tried to address this as the round completed and hit some good drives when I concentrated on making sure i was not addressing the ball too close, I started to line up the ball with the toe of the driver.
    Andrew may be able to answer the above questions as he was there to see it, but if you ask anyone that saw my 2 shots on the 1st hole you would have thought this could be a good day for me. I seemed again to be hitting the ball ok but was not able to score from it.
    Also hit as good a 6i I could hit on the 13th @ Bankstown, ended up a little over a metre out for a good birdie. Pity it was the A grade NTP as I was well inside the name on the plate.
    I will practice some more tomorrow as the car will be in service and there is some time to kill.

    Off to the Driving range today, got a lesson booked for Wednesday.
    I am going to get this right before I get my new clubs/irons. Have not had a lesson for some time and I think I have drifted back into the old habits. I have to work on my posture at setup, I have a feeling that me being so hunched over I can't coil properly and it is promoting the hip sway that I possess at the moment. Start at the beginning and it may all come together.

    Off to the range again this morning, going to work on a consistent swing and get a rough idea what distances I get with each of my new clubs. Holes are a bitch when you are over the back of almost every time.

    This Swing needs help, I am so bad at the moment I don't think 36 will be a high enough handicap.

    Hooks, Slices you name it I have got it. I really have no idea where each shot is going to go before I hit it.

    I know I am the wrong side of the ditch, but if you are ever up this way....

    After a prolonged break I am hitting the golf course once again, it will be my first swing since March. Am playing in a memorial golf day and Botany. Is Ambrose so I am weaning myself back into it. I actually can feel the urge to play once more.

    Who know I may even join a club again in Sydney now that I am soon to be a normal worker and have weekends off regularly.

    Good to know after the weekend it did not get any worse (maybe it did 54 handicap on Saturday only got me tied for the lead) and to be honest on Monday there was a slight glimmer that some ever so slight ability was coming back.

    I think with some regular games I might even find the 25-27 mark playable for the amount of golf I can fit in at the moment. Some tweaking of the bag could be on the cards too. I was playing my best golf in late 2010 with a 4 wood in the bag, finding one with a reg shaft maybe tough though. I think the addition of a 3/4 hybrid set up will help too.

    Serious question for you all!!

    Would a session at the range be a WOFTAM? Or should I just realise that I am a hacker and deal with it and get on the 30+ handicap bandwagon?
