The big thing is make sure the club doesn't get stuck in your hands and ends up going over your head or up a tree! Keep working at it! Cameron Hi Prydie,

Lesson learned thanks.

The big thing is make sure the club doesn’t get stuck in your hands and ends up going over your head or up a tree!

Keep working at it!

BTW, no-one other than friends saw me do it 2 weeks ago, and with gusto. Of course, as you teach, I was practising how hitting the golf ball was just like throwing a club down the fairway - but Cam, using a putter to demonstrate is possibly unusual. Cheers, Prydie PS. Should I turn my left hip like Hogan at the start of the throw or just use mainly arms (still confused). Cam,

The worst was a couple weeks ago when I drove a par 4 green and was left with a 12 foot eagle putt. My first putt went 4 feet by, the next 2 feet past, then in frustration, I missed that one and bogied! 4 putts!! The friend that was with me never saw me get so mad. Thanks for reminding me why I play!! Keep it Fun Stupid! I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately and have been getting very frustrated… tossed (not thrown) clubs ;) , slammed driver after OBs… argh!

The one good thing to come out of it that it shows you care deeply care about what you do. I to have sworn at myself and slammed the occosional club into the ground. Now it happens rarely due to the fact that ican only control my reaction to any dissappointment/bad shot/crappy bounce. At least you got back on track and realise/understand why you play. Cheers Steady PS will call on Monday about some exciting news. PPS.No I can't have any more kids. Hi Cam,
