Out for the normal Sunday social round with Dave.
Bit of a mixed bag. Shot to my handicap which was pretty good. But it was one of those rounds that could have been sooooo much better.
I putted awfully. It included 4 3-putts. I couldn't sink any putt further away than 3 feet. Ended up with 35 putts. My putting stroke just felt all wrong for some reason, jerky and no smoothness.
Drove the ball ok, although didn't hit a lot of fairways in reg. I actually hit more greens in reg than fairways, which is an indication how well I'm hitting my irons.
Pitching and chipping, again all pretty sound.
Also, finished double bogey, bogey. And I don't get a shot on 18, so that's thrown two shots away there on my handicap.
But I can start to taste it again, my gain is starting to come round, I honestly think if I could hook it up there maybe a level par round in there somewhere in the not too distant future.

Swing Video
It's been a while since I posted a swing video.
Here's one from in the week. 7i.
I'm liking this one quite a bit, still not getting off my back foot enough, but I like the length and the plane of this swing.
Also, not loosing it too much at the top as well.
I'm trying to get quite a wide and straight back takeaway and a lift of the club upwards.
This is stopping the rounded flat swing which leads to me loosing the club at the top.

Weekend Over
Ok round on Sunday. Just a social game with my m8 Dave.
After the putting problems of the last few weeks I decided to focus a bit more on that during the round.
After a few holes I started to get a stroke that seemed to work better.
I had been taking the putter quite a way back to have a more flowing stroke. I think what that had done was cause me to decelerate into the ball, quit on the putt, and ultimately leave it short.
So I shortened the backstroke a bit, not too much, but tried to keep a flowing stroke through the ball.
That seems to have made a big difference. Distance control was pretty good. I was getting the ball upto, and past the hole, and as a result I started to hole a lot, lot, more putts.
I all honesty the greens at our place aren't that tough, not many major breaking putts, so not to hard to read. So distance becomes vital if you want to score.
I ended up taking 29 putts in the end. No 3 putts either. Which is around where I really should be for my handicap. I have been shooting a good 4-5 putts more on average a round.
The rest of my game ? Just about ok. Nothing special. Just threw a few too many double bogeys and a triple in there. Really need to be bogey at worse now.
Will probably play 18 tomorrow night in the mid-week medal. My m8 Dave has got 5 weeks off now so can play mid-week, so I'm going to try and fit a few more mid-week comps in.
You never know, with the extra qualifying rounds, I might be able to squeeze down to a 10 hcp.

Phil West Trophy - Major
Major comp today.
Played with Sam who I just pipped to the order of Merit last year and Colin who is a great laugh.
Didn't play too bad, all of us played pretty good really. I just let things slip on a couple of holes and never really sunk any putts, AGAIN !!!
20pts on the front 9 with 1 blob on the easy par 4 4th hole.
16 pts coming in. 1 Blobbed hole again on another way hole. Par 5 14th. And it was down wind for once, which makes it reachable in 2. Argh.
Also double bogeyed the par 3 17th after a fatted teeshot then an under hit pitch shot into the bunker.
And finally bogeyed the easy par 4 18th. Good drive, middle of the fairway. Pulled what should have been an easy 7i left. Great chip up to 4ft out the rough. Missed the put. AGAIN.
No kidding if I had sunk have the 4-6 footers I had I would have had 40+ points.
So I guess I know what to work on this week then !!!
But still a pretty solid round off my new handicap. So can't be unhappy with that. And I know where I need to improve.
Howdidido has me at 14th overall in the comp with 36 pts. Sam played a blinder and shot 41, for the win. Colin had a tidy round as well and score 37 pts for 9th spot. Thats great shooting from Sam who played off 2. Off 1 now !!
Out again tomorrow morning for a social round. So I'll work on my putting a bit.

The round that almost was
The other half was out last night so I didn't have to pick her up after work, so I got out a bit early and went out for 18.
Pretty darn tidy if I do say so myself. Couple of silly mistakes cost me a few shots here and there, but in the main pretty good.
Started off with 3 bogeys. But had makable par putts on all of them. Then strung 6 pars together, and had a couple of makable birdy putts as well. So out in 38.
Back 9 was just a bit scrappy. Picked up 3 pars, but also threw in 2 double bogeys. Mainly due to some poor drives that weren't present on the front 9.
And again, didn't really sink that many putts of any great length. 33 putts in the end, with the only 3 putt on the 18th. I'm still not being aggressive enough and not getting the ball to the hole.
So, back in 44 for an 82. 1 under my new handicap. So I'm pleased about that and feel confident that I can actually play to my new handicap, and probably a bit better than it as well.
Not going to practice today but will probably either play 9 or practice tomorrow before Saturdays comp.

Weekend Comp
Only played once this weekend. Weather was awful here. Not as bad as at the open. But still, not great.
Played a stableford comp on Sunday morning. Virgin Atlantic Trophy.
Winner got to play in a second round comp with Neil who runs the Pro shop. Winner of that gets a trip to Vegas.
I played ok. Shot 87 and Scored 32 Points. 16\16 Front\Back 9 in really windy conditions and some rain showers.
Everything was just 'ok' there wasn't any part of my game that really stood out. Hit 50% of fairways. 17% or greens. 33 putts. 5 pars. 1 double and 1triple bogey.
tbh, putting could have been better. Didn't really sink enough 5-10ft putts.
Also made a mess of a couple of easy approach shots after a good drive. That probably cost me birdy or at worse easy par chances.
But hey. 87, I'd have been happy with that a few weeks back.
But, 87 is outside my now 2 shot buffer zone playing of 12.1. So up to 12.2 now.
I have a feeling being in cat 2 now my handicap is going to be a lot of +0.1 with the occasion, I hope, cut.

Tom Lewis @ The Open
What a day for Tom. Leading the open on the first day as an amateur.
In case you didn't know Bryan, my coach, is his Dad. I'm absolutely delighted for them both and can't wait to see how this unfolds.
And, as an added bonus I stuck a couple of quid on him yesterday at 350/1.
Cmon Tom.

Gave it a rest
Decided to give it a rest yesterday.
No play, no practice. Just some watching.
Taped the Scottish Open and watched that. Another great win from Donald. He just makes it look soooo easy. Just seems to pour the puts in from any range.
Of to the gym in a bit for some cardio work. I'm introducing some stretch to my cardio sessions to help with flexibility, mainly in my lower and upper back.
Will probably go up the range later and work on my full swing and see if I can straighten our my drives a bit.
Probably wont have time for any short game practice today. So probably do some chipping and putting tomorrow.
Last Sundays comp results are back up on howdidido. So have now checked the overall count back which confirms I won overall.
Yay. 1st Trophy of the year.
This Sunday is the 'Virgin Atlantic Trophy'. Winner gets a trip to Vegas baby.

Turned the Corner ? Maybe
Played with my m8's Dave and Mark today. Mark used to be a member at our place but had to give it up due to work commitments. So it's the first time he's hit a ball since Feb.
He played ok, cracking first drive. But you can tell he was rusty. Few topped shots here and there. But putted ok.
Another solid round from today. Didn't drive that well and missed a few putts but apart from that a pretty solid 84, 1 over my new handicap of 12.
Out in 40 and back in 44. but started the back 9 with 2 double bogeys that should have been bogeys at worse.
My swing doesn't feel completely in control, but it's definitely not out of control any more. My drives are still leaking right a bit on me, but my irons are getting back to what they were. Short game seems ok. 3 putted a couple of times, and after I hit the green in reg as well. That's annoying.
Ah well. Might get out late tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad.

Results not in yet. But .....
They have published my revised Handicap.
12.1 :-)
But for some reason the comp results are not showing yet and the handicap graph still shows my old 13.5 handicap.
Odd. But hay 12.1, first cut of the year. I'm happy with that.
Now the real hard work starts.

Now the real hard work starts.
The suspense is killing me
Results for yesterdays comp is still not posted to howdidido yet.
Not so much interested if I won or not, more interested to see what kind of cut in handicap I'm in for.
Could be as low as 11.7 if CSS was 72 !! that's a big step towards single figures.
Who'd have thought that after the way this year has gone so far.
But still a way to go as that will make me a cat 2 golfer and only entitled to 0.2 cuts per stroke under my handicap.
By my reckoning I'll have to shoot a couple of 5-6 under rounds to get to a 9.4 handicap. So that's a couple of 76-77 type rounds during a comp, or a 3-4 sub 80 rounds. That's going to be tough, doable, but a stretch.
I think I'd be happy to get under 10, even if I don't get to a single figure playing handicap.

A good Day
So after the 102 on Friday, the lesson with Bryan and a bit of practice on Saturday morning I headed out for this mornings comp. Feeling absolutely shattered after a BBQ at my place yesterday night.
Hit some balls on the range beforehand, badly. Had a few practice putts and chips. Again not great.
Then off we go.
First drive, right down the middle. Arrow straight 7i to 15ft. Left the putt 4ft short, but got the next down.
2nd, 3w, up the left hand side of the fairway. Dodgy 5i squirted right off a hanging lie. 56 degree just cleared the front bunker then sink a 15ft putt for par.
3rd, aimed at left side of the par 3 green as it's wet front and right. Arrow straight 6i to the left side of the green. 2 putts and another par.
par, par, par start. Never done that before.
Played ok rest of the front 9. Birdy on 7. But a mare on 9. Par 3, took 7. Walked off with 42 feeling a bit dejected. All that good work and still ended up shooting to my handicap.
Steady start to the back. Bogeyed 10, 11 and 12. Sprayed my drive at 13 right but hit a nice 6i into the green. Sunk another 15ft for birdy.
Should have birdied the par 5 14 but missed a short 5ft putt. But had a tap in par. Nailed a lovely drive with a bit of draw up the right hand side and it came back nicely but just rolled off the fairway slightly on the left. Had 210 to go and nailed my 3h a bit too good and put it just through the back of the green. nice little pitch and run with the PW to leave the 5 footer.
Parred 15 and 16. No mean feat I can tell you.
Then 17. OMG. Hit the worst shot of the day, possibly the year. Long par 3 (215 yards), took a 4i. Hit a fat snap hook into the back of the bench next to the yellow tees in front of us ( White tees are elevated by about 10-15 feet from the yellows) and it comes back 10ft finishing probably no more than 30ft in front of me in deep rough. Oops. I had to laugh.
Hit a good 5i out the rough but found the front left bunker. Got it out ok, but took 2 putts to get down for a 5.
Regulation 18. Nice drive up the right. Thought I hit the perfect 7i into the green but it just landed and stopped dead 30ft from the hole. I was expecting it to release right up to the hole. Couple of putts and another par for a 40 shot back 9.
82, nett 68, 3 shots under my handicap. Best I've shot in a long time.
So I'm expecting a bit of a cut. 1.5 shots down to 12 I think. (5x.3 if CSS is 71 and as the 9th get's rounded down to a nett double bogey).
Still waiting for the results to get posted on howdidido but should be in with a shout of the win even though i know my m8 John shot a nett 68, but he's ineligible for the win as it's only his second comp.
So not a bad end to the week after all.
Hit some balls on the range beforehand, badly. Had a few practice putts and chips. Again not great.
Then off we go.
First drive, right down the middle. Arrow straight 7i to 15ft. Left the putt 4ft short, but got the next down.

par, par, par start. Never done that before.

2nd July Iron DL
ok first of a couple of vids after the lesson yesterday.
Hit the ball ok at the range but I can see some big issues.
1. Look where my belt buckle is pointing in the back swing ! I've turned my whole body back 90, not my shoulders.
2. Loosing the club at the top a bit. That's an old problem I need to work on. I've always had that and can't get rid.

Had to go see Bryan
I've tried to seem him for the past couple of weeks as I felt my game was in real trouble but just couldn't find a slot where we were both free. Finally got to see him today.
Explained what had been going on and he said if it happens again, just speak to him and not one of the range guys and he'll make room in his diary to see me. Which is really good of him.
v
So what did he say ?
My setup is all still good. Just need my right foot a bit squarer to the target line.
The main problem is I'm trying to take the club back too far and cocking my wrists too much, which then means I've got too much going on in my down swing to get the club-head back to where it needs to be.
So he's just got me swinging back until I feel resistance and stopping everything there. No forced rotation, stop my arms. Then simply drive my right shoulder through.
So Turn and Turn. Simple.
The way Bryan has described it is that as I have a muscular upper body (To much Weight Training) I'm not flexible enough to get the club into a traditional position. I need to use my upper body power to generate club head speed and not my arms and hands.
So it's about a 3/4 backswing, trying to keep a solid left wrist and then drive my right shoulder through.
Hit some really nice 7i's. The swing feels so simple and basic there is little that can go wrong. I just need to try to keep my arms and hands out of the swing.
He's advised me to watch some Ross McGowan swing videos as that's what he wants me to swing like.
He got me hitting some drivers, but had a real hard time getting my left wrist to stop bowing. He got out a wrist support to help me get the feeling, then got me ripping my drives as hard as I could just with body rotation. Man did they scream off the face.
But as soon as he took the wrist support off I really had trouble with the wrist again. Not bad enough to cause really terrible shots, they were all pretty good by recent standards, just could be prone to problems if I don't get a stronger left wrist.
Something to work on.
Not sure I'll play tomorrow. Might just go practice for a bit, then see how I get on in the comp on Sunday.
I'll take the camera and see if I can get some goo swing vids.
It's been a While
Since my last post.
So what's been going on.
Went to the US for a couple of weeks. Vegas then Scottsdale and got to play some golf in Scottsdale. First time I've played abroad.
Perfect weather, perfect conditions and a courses were in fantastic conditions. I played 3 times. All at Talking Stick. Played the south course once and the north course twice.
Actually shot a 79. Which was pleasing with hire clubs.
Also when I got back I went to watch the BMW Championship at Wentworth. What a fantastic day. Again another first. First time I'd been to a professional event.
Just had the best time. Got to see all the top players. Donald, Westwood, Mcalroy, Kaymer etc.
Plus I had fantastic 18th grandstand seats, so got to see the finish.
What a day.
So, hows my golf been going ?
Still struggling I'm afraid to say. Apart from the 79 while I was in the US it's been pretty poor. Never really looking like shooting under my handicap. Had a few good 9 holes rounds, shot a 38 (3 over par) a few weeks back.
But apart from that it's been really inconsistent.
I've had all this week off as well so played a bit. And lets just say I wish I hadn't.
Played twice Monday, We didn't really play twice. Played 9 holes at Letchworth and walked off as I was playing so badly. Then went to play at Chesfield later in the day. Walked off after 9 again.
Played Whitehills on Wednesday with a couple of m8's. Started ok'ish, middle of the round was just dire, then played some good stuff for the final 3rd, including a tap in birdy on the par 5 12th.
Decided to play again this morning and had an absolute mare. Started steady enough but a couple of silly greenside mistakes cost me pars. Then it just went downhill from there. Sprayed the ball all over the place.
I played the full 18 to try to find something in my game but ended up shooting a horrific 102. argh. That just hurts typing it.
But tbh, the way I've been playing recently a 100+ score has been coming for a while.
Comp this weekend. Medal on Sunday. My goal. To avoid another +.1. Tall order me thinks.
