The Hutchins Salver! First board comp of the season!

I played in the Hutchins Salver today which I qualified through winning a monthly stableford during the winter. It was a very fun round with nice weather and great playing partners! I played well and shot 75 (+5 gross/-2 hcp) with 2, three putts and a four putt! It could have been so much better. Got cut to 6.1

1st Cup match VS Chippenham!

Today, H, Max and I played against Chippenham in the first round of the KO cup. We all played really well in tough, windy conditions. H went out first and won 6&5, Max went out second and won 5&4 and I went out last and won 7&6 (giving 10 shots!)! So I think its safe to say that Chippenham got smashed!

1st Round back after 3rd Surgery!

Today I played my first round back after my 3rd lot of surgery for my Crohn's! I shot 79 (only +2 front 9) which I was happy with considering a had another two and a bit weeks off. Overall, pretty happy with my round, let's just hope it's over now! :)

Final Winter League match!

Today my Dad and I played our 5th and final winter league match against John Graham and David Snedden. We needed to win in order to have gotten through to the knock-out stages. Unfortunately, we halved the match (again!). It was a good game and overall I played quite well. We'll make it next year...hopefully!

Getting Custom Fit for New Woods!

This was one of a plans for 2017. Buy new woods. My old driver (cobra bio cell) was too high spinning and therefore meant that most of the time I hit high shots (not a good thing when hitting into the wind!). So today I went to get custom fit for TaylorMade/Callaway woods! it was a great experience using GC2 and seeing the shot data. The club fitter (Gary Booth) said that my numbers were very impressive. It was a very eye opening experience and I am very happy with the clubs I got fitted for.

Clubs:

TaylorMade M2 2017 driver
12 degree head set to 11 degrees
HZRDUS project X
63g
Low Spin
Stiff (but tipped to make it slightly more firm)

Callaway GGB Epic 3 wood
15 degree head
Fujikura Pro 72
75g
Low spin/low launch
Stiff (but tipped to make it slightly more firm)

I am yet to be fit for a new rescue but it will most likely be the TaylorMade M2 rescue (to match the driver).

4th Winter League Match!

Today my Dad and I played in our 4th winter league match against Paul Mcnicol and Ian Folkes. Unfortunately, we halved the match however it was a good result co nsidering we were 3 down after five holes! we fought back strong and the match went down to the last hole! All-in-all it was a fun and close match.
