Robyn plays golf

Took up a new hobby last month after finally taking the plunge to buy a second-hand set of golf clubs off Gumtree. I had been tinkering with the idea for a few months after hockey ended to keep myself entertained and grow my list of hobbies a bit more.



I found a near perfect set of Pinseekers and took them for their first round / klap last weekend at the River Club in Observatory

I've still got it!
Turns out, I can still hit pretty straight - barring the few I hooked - and there is still a lot of power in these arms, which makes me happy.

Bought a Mizuno glove to make me look a little bit more professional :)



So now the fun starts. Maybe get a few lessons, practice some more and get onto the mashie course at River Club will probably get me going and laughing

Anyone else play? Tips for this beginner is appreciated.

Tip: aim for the flags sticking in that little hole. Apparently that's the point of the game.

Thank Allan. I was disillusioned by Pub Golf for many years and decided to try the sport for real.

Aiming to not slice the ball with the irons and pull the ball with my drivers :)
