LOL ... gold!

So close...

... to my first win at the club.

Stableford was the game of the day and I had a pretty average start
with bogey, bogey, par, bogey. I thought it was going to be a bad day
out on the course but I then birdied the next hole and finished the
front nine at 2 over and 23 points.

The back nine was more of a struggle as I failed to keep up the
momentum and was forced to scramble a lot to score some points. I was
pretty happy at not wiping any holes and finished with 17 points.

40 points only got me tied for second place with five other guys and
that went down to fourth place on countback. It still got me a $30
voucher which is better than nothing.

I've also been hitting my long irons pretty sweet and have been able
to hit the 170m par 3 green two weeks in a row now.

Handicap took a dive and I'm now off 12.7. It's probably a good time
to peak before the birth of our first baby as I might be away from
golf for awhile. :(

Found my swing again

Went out last week after about a month off from playing 18 holes and my front 9 was a shocker. Went out with 45 and 2 shots back from my dad. I was hitting big cuts with the driver and even hitting it onto adjacent fairways. Not fun at all!

Not sure what was wrong but I felt very disconnected from my swing. Made a few tweaks on the back 9 and I then started to hit them straight (and long) again. Managed to make 4 pars in 5 holes and things were looking good.

I was tied with my dad on the last hole (a par 5) and only had 100m to hit the green on my third shot. I proceed to hit the fattest shot ever which didn't make the green and I finished that hole with a 7. Call me Greg.

Highlight: Making birdie on the 200m par 3
Lowlight: Driving my ball OB on the next hole
