thanks greg thats a great way of looking at it
thanks ian i know that you are so right so i need to lower my expectations a little.
hi robert imo the reason that the two are so different is that at the range you are maybe hitting 10 shots with the same club off the mat and on the course every shot is a different club and lie.
take yesterday for me my tee shots started out bad and the more you try the worse it gets and after tee shot the lie is uphill,downhill and ball above and below feet shots we are not used to playing and so it goes on
im thinking at the moment to forget the fourball and spend the time practising
