If it ain't broke...

Had my second game with the club since returning from my Japan / chickenpox holiday. And I have to say that it was a good outing. The conditions were tough... light rain with gusty swirling winds. I punched a 5-iron into the breeze from about 120m away and it still ended up short of the green.

The front 9 was tough and I finished it at 8-over. But the back 9 was completed in just 3-over.. :)
No birdies were made during the day.. although I had 5 good opportunities for them. It was all good enough for a 83 gross and 71 nett. Just enough to sneak into 2nd place in the day's comp.

It was one of my better driving days with just one missed fairway.... and I was looking at new drivers in the pro shop before the round too! Guess I'll be sticking with my trusty Callaway Hawkeye :)
I also had a great putting round with no misses from within a meter (one of my weaknesses is short putts)

Hopefully this will make my handicap head in the right direction..
