In overcrowded cities such as New Delhi in India, this space would otherwise have been converted into apartments and condominiums.

Finally, you've managed to ease the strain and adopted the automatic approach - how funny that you've dropped two shot. Who would have thought? Talk to you soon Cameron Prydie,

You eventually convinced me and handicap is down by 2. Re: opp. to hatcher. How about Freestroker, freestylist or freewhatever as this does describe automatic. Automatic is not being mindless or carefree or hitting too quickly - it is about a swing which is unencumbered by unnecessary thought! I found trust in the automatic swing very hard BUT once I accepted that bad swings and bad results do still occur, then I believe I found the turning point. The bad shots will hopefully become fewer, but the good shots are often quite a deal better. No doubt, as you say, work to improve as you want but go to automatic when playing. Must work tomorrow - bugger. Would rather practice short game! Cheers, Prydie Thank heavens your website is back up and running and that
