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.

Junior Bowmaker
Today I played in the Junior Bowmaker at Tidworth. 14 teams of 4 participated, my team included: the club captain, Brian Hutchins, the junior captain, Charl Malan, and Max Wrixon. Over all we came LAST! Through out the competition I played bad but my driving has certainly improved thanks to the lesson I had yesterday with Charlie, every drive went straight except 2,which one went left and the other right.

Going to see Charlie :D
Today I went to see Charlie as well as playing in the Centenary Medal. When I was with Charlie we were focusing on getting rid of my fade with my driver, after an hour session we sorted my driving. I had a really fun time as always and it really gave a boost to my confidence :)
The Junior Centenary Medal
Today I played in the Junior Centenary Medal at Tidworth and played 2 under my handicap. Over all I'm really pleased with this result because of to silly holes which I had a 7 and an 8 :( So I could have easily played to 4 under my handicap, but over all very happy with the outcome :)
Cumberwell Junior Open Results! :)
The other day I played in the junior open at Cumberwerll park and I have now found out the results. Over all out of 37 players I came tied 5th, I'm really pleased with this result considering I was playing away at a different course.

Foster Powell Cup
Today I played in the Foster Powell cup at Tidworth. We played a unique rolling 6 hole knock and 18 hole stableford competition, unfortunately I lost my 6 hole knock on a putt off to Tom Millar who went on to win the final but he lost to Harry Moule, but I went on to win the 18 hole stableford with 39 points which also added another £15 to this years prize fund. Over all my golf was really good but a few of my drives let me down and also a few 3 putts let me down but I was generally pleased with my golf.

Junior open at Cumberwell Park
I had my first junior open of the season today, I played the red and yellow 9 hole courses. I think I played really good playing at a different course considering I hadn't played the red 9 hole course before. The conditions today were great for golf, there was no wind and the temperature was perfect. I beat my playing partner and managed to play 1 under my handicap. When I left I was 6th on the leader boards but I will tell you where I come in my next post.

Tidworth junior match against Ogbourne
I had my second junior match of the season today and I think it went fairly well considering the wind was very very strong. The guy I was playing against was 16 handicapper, so I only received 1 shot, I ended up losing 3 down with 1 to play. Our team drew against Ogbourne 3 - 3.

Presidents Cup!
I played in the Presidents Cup today and WON! I played really well, but could have done better. I shot an 85 (my second best round) a nett 65 :) I am really please because I've only just recently been cut from 25.5 to 20.2 and now I've been cut from 20.2 to 18.8 but they cut me another 2 whole shots for an exceptional round.
Even made the local paper again! :)
