Yay for long weekends.

I'd normally get two games of golf in on a long weekend but it was just one game this time. Such is life with a new baby :)

35 stableford points and a decrease of my handicap to 14 made for a decent outing. I was pretty happy with the way I finished. Needing extra points to finish the 9 on handicap I closed with three 3's.

I'm looking at entering the Hartfield Open. A two day stroke event and hopefully my game is starting to come together.

Highlight of the day: pull hooking my drive on the 17th 20meters off target into thick bush. Finding my ball! Then punching out and making an up and down from 100m for par.

Shooting under my hc

It's been two weeks straight where I've broken my handicap. But my golflink results don't reflect that because my markers have made mistakes on my scorecard.... It's really my fault for not checking correctly though.

Anyway from the screenshot below, you can see that I'm starting to run out of good rounds to use in hc calculation (they take your ten best from your last twenty rounds).

The last round I played was decent enough. My play with the woods was great but it was the iron play that stopped me having a great round. I finished the front 9 with 20 points but only managed 17 on the back.

Oh well, another week and another opportunity to have a good round.

A good score at last.

No not a score where I break my handicap but one where I play to it. Compared to how I've been playing over the last few weeks, a score of 14 over is awesome. But the strange thing was that it didn't feel like a good round at all. I was driving the ball everywhere but the fairway all day. One of those rounds where you shot better than you played I guess.

For some reason I was hitting my tee shots with too much of an "uppercut". I'll have to try and shallow out my swing for next week.

Laugh of the day goes to my dad who grinded down his SW to make it lighter. Thus removed the bounce from it and caused a few fluffs from the bunkers.

Also made my one birdie on a par 5 where my ball didn't get to touch the fairway. This is a bizarre game sometimes.
