I got my first golf club when I was 9 years old but I only had one lesson. When I was 10 we had mini kids golf at my primary school and I started playing. After a while I started going to group sessions at my local golf club in Tidworth where I was taught by one of the pros - Charlie Gold. I then progressed to the junior academy with the head pro at Tidworth. Charlie moved away as he found a new job however I still have individual lessons with Charlie as he is my main coach.

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!

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).
