May Monthly Medal

Today I played in the medal with H and a guy called Brian Johnson. It was a really nice day, however, it was very windy and the greens were extremely quick! I didn't play very well however I got it round and ended up with a 75, +5 gross and -1 handicap. So overall a good result considering I did not play my best!

Romsey Junior Open!

Today I played in Romsey junior open. It was definitely a lot harder than I thought it would be, the course was short but narrow with minute greens and to make things even harder the course was rock solid from the recent scorching weather. Unfortunately I did't score very well but I actually felt like I played well. I shot 80 which is +11 gross and +5 handicap. Even with the disappointing result it was a good day out, I had great company and before the prize giving we had a carvery.

1st Round of the Tidworth Cup with Max!

Today Max and I played the 1st round in the Tidworth Cup. This competitions format is foursomes and is also a knock out. We played Gezz Proctor and Dave Wakefield (we were giving 4 shots) and beat them 6&5! Max and I played well and were +1 gross through 13 holes, a very good score for foursomes. On to round 2 (giving 6 shots!).  

Practice!

Today was a practice day! I spent 2 hours on the chipping green hitting different shots. Normal chip shots, longer chip shots, flop shots and bunker shots. Next, I did an hour putting, practicing 6ft NESW, 6ft gate drill and straight path with alignment stick, 10ft NESW. Finally, an hour on the range practicing 60,70 and 80 yard pitching and 170 yard target practice with 7 iron.

2nd Tidworth Junior Fun comp of the Easter Holidays

Today I played in a junior Texas scramble. My team consisted of my Dad (18), Polly McGrane (33) and Adam Godwin (28). We had a decent score of 66 gross and nett 57.5 (Team hcp was 8.5). We were -4 front 9 and level back 9, however, we had no bogeys so overall we played well, although was not good enough to win.

Swing Lesson with Charlie!

Today I had a swing lesson at Hall Grove school with my coach Charlie. It was very interesting and well spent time discussing certain things I need to focus on. We spent most of the lesson talking but I also hit some shots so that Charlie could see how I was swinging. Charlie said that he was really pleased with the progress I had made and the way I was currently swinging. Overall, a very helpful lesson with some valuable golfs tips and life lessons!

Terry Gosden Strokeplay Championship!

Today I played in the Terry Gosden strokeplay championship. Unfortunately, I 'No returned' on the 12th however I didn't play badly I was just a bit unlucky. My card consisted of 10 pars, 7 bogeys and an NR but I generally played OK.
