I can relate to it, I too struggle with all the above, in fact it took a lot of courage to say hello to @Angry Ram in Covent Garden recently, even though I’d spotted him about 5-10 mins prior. But once I’d broke the ice, it was fine. But the weird thing is, I meet customers everyday, some new, some returning. Weird isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this lovely weather and my game is so bad at the moment that I'm just not enjoying playing. ☹️ Played golf quite a bit but never really enjoyed playing in weather like we have at the moment - much preferred cool, damp conditions.

Mostyn6 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’d love to be able to dance, specifically breakdance. Sing well too, would love to be able to sing like Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder. I’m envious of friends that have great soulful/powerful singing voices like @Troy Dyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily talk to ISO inspectors on factory visits, visiting tradesmen etc, people we meet on holiday, but can't pluck up the courage to say hello to people I've actually met. I even saw you in the concourse towards the end of the season, debated saying hello then thought better of it, for no good reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you’re safe with me, I’ve forgotten what you look like as there was a few at them meet ups, but I recon I’d recognise you if you did slap me on the back and say “aye up youth” now @sage is the opposite, he can talk to anyone. Probably got a better memory for faces too. He even talks to @eddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually enjoy playing in the weather we have at the moment. That's what is frustrating at the moment. It's very rare we get such weather for a prolonged period.

Don't bother with a practice swing unless it's a tricky lie, clear your mind of everything once you address the ball, and most importantly, breathe out before swinging to relax the muscles, and don't breathe in until you're holding the follow through. And remember, if you're playing poorly, at least those trees are providing welcome shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is I've knocked nearly every tree down on my course with my wayward shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life and soul sometimes, inexplicably shy and withdrawn at other times, often happiest in your own company or with pets, doing what pleases you most. Not everyone can be massively gregarious all the time and close friends will doubtless understand your character traits and not take offence - bar that there's nothing to worry about save for folk telling you to cheer up and the like which really ought to be a hanging offence.

It would be good to be able to do a martial art too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
