Hi Golfbald,

Once again, I am grateful to you for constructive assistance.

I know my club course pretty well. There is a yardage card, which seems to be fairly accurate. The course is fairly open, but the greens are small and most of the trouble is at the back, apart from bunkers. The Par is 67. No par 5s.

Lack of consistency is the real killer for me. Too many high numbers on the card, at the moment. I think the expression "army golf" is an apt description of my game. Left/right/left/ right. It's not all bad news; I can par 2 or 3 holes in succession. But, then an 8 or 9 appears, shortly followed by another high score.

Incidentally, I bought a copy of the Mike Austin/Mike Dunaway video. I tried to implement the swing techniques but, I played even worse. I'm sure that the reason is because my swing is not constant. I will go back to it once I can get a fairly grooved swing.

Thanks again

Alan N
