I do something similar with mates on a par 5. Before you start the hole you must allocate which clubs and which order you will take

i.e.

1. Driver.
2. 6 iron
3. SW
4+ putter

Makes you concentrate!

Man I need to get a round in soon... Spent an absolute fortune 2 years ago and then my new job crippled my time

Must be good for a laugh if someone puts their third shot into the sand.

Even better when the tee shot ends up in the woods. Left with a 6i, SW and putter to get to the green.

It's horribly easy to break a modern putter when you're trying to thump it 100 yards. If I was playing one of those games I might bring out a really old-fashioned club for putting.

One club only for today's round.
Had a couple of triple bogeys where I got out of position in the rough, and paid the penalty, as my chosen club was a 19 degree hybrid, but overall I scored better than with a 6-iron and putter. Great fun, and got round in 90 minutes!

Can i post my experiances of golf on video games here?

Go on, Super, why not? Have you given up Minecraft, then?

No, haveing said that i have not played it properly for 4 months. I was gonna talk about a part of a game which included mini golf but i think i should keep it to myself or i am endangered of becoming judged

No need to worry, Super; the golf thread is a friendly place.

I do like a bit of holiday mini golf, always feels like a holiday activity.

Have a competition later today (real golf not mini) my last comp was really frustrating. Played badly but was sinking putts all over the place. Ended up with 6 birdies, 2 lost balls and 3 bogies.

Sink those putts when playing well and you score low, although rarely do all the parts of your game work at the same time. Been doing a lot of swing changes this year so can't really expect anything other than inconsistency.

Forecast is for sunshine later, looks like it may be a cracking day for it.

Hit some booooming drives today but the short game let me down for once. Usually the short game bails me out. Couldn't get the ball to the hole, argh.

4 birdies, 8 bogeys, rest pars. 4 over 76.

You must be a scratch golfer, or very close to it, Hoopie.

3, which believe me is nowhere near scratch!

Working really hard on swing changes which are kind of working. Just my rounds are now so inconsistent. When it works it is great, when it doesn't it goes horribly wrong. Still, I enjoy the challenge of trying to get better.

No golf this weekend, but have a competition Wednesday

All you golf afficiandos enthoosiests players. Are there a highlights show on TV anywhere?

"Are there"??

Unlike you to make a grammatical error, PS.

Anyway, to your point: I don't think so, at least not on free TV.

The BBC used to show the US Open and the USPGA, as well as the Masters, which it still does, and the Open championship, which it has abandoned. The BBC does not support golf.

Yes, I know it would take you a lot of great rounds just to drop those three strokes, but 3 is a really impressive handicap.

Ah, changed the sentence set up half way through but forgot to change the start. Shame on me...

Playing a round tomorrow morning so I'll report back after. Can't compete with Hoopie's scores, unfortunately...

Oh you can. Had the club champs yesterday and got beaten up by both the course and the wind. Morning round I played badly and scored badly. Afternoon round I played better but still scored badly. Morning round I couldn't get off the tee. Afternoon round I gave shots away with my chipping, usually a strong part of my game.

I look forward to the club champs every year and every year I seem to get beaten up. Back to the drawing board.

Ended up 11th, but way too many shots behind the leaders.

Look at Rory yesterday, 40 front 9, 30 back 9... amazing how you can be both useless and brilliant in the same round. Frustrating game golf, but if it was easy you wouldn't bother.
