[Irish Maverick]

Thanks for the responses... if there was a World Championship for practising mistakes ... don't even bother turning up ... I am THE MAN ... I will spend hundreds of hours perfecting a way to hit the ball incorrectly ... and then find an even worse way and start again ... I can shoot to my handicap - would be disappointed to be over 90 - usually mid 80s - but I am playing with guys that NEVER practise ... and I am not getting any better than them ... despite all my practise I am not improving ...

... in an average round, I may use 20 or maybe 25 different swings - outside / inside / grip change / twist / turn / pivot / weight transfer / shoulder turn / head still / right side / left side / hands / knuckles / knees / hips / feet / pray ...

... my swing can defy every known law of physics / geometry / science / gravity / medicine / mathematics and bullshit ...

... I can get myself into contortions that Houdini, at his peak, would not have a chance of escaping from ...


...the only reason that I ever bring in a score is that I am a good scrambler ... refuse to give in ... always battling / grinding / suffering incredible turmoil - pain - anguish - frustration ... surely it does not have to be this way ...

... sadly ... I still love it ...
