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.
