On Friday and today I played very good. On Friday Max and I played 14 holes and I shot 39 (which is 4 over gross) front nine and the 5 holes and the back nine I was level gross, so really happy and I reached the 499 yard par 5, 6th, in 2 :D
Today, I also played with Max and shot 82, so one over handicap, not too bad. Front nine I shot 38, one better than yesterday, on the par 5, 6th, I hit a 295 yard drive down the middle and on the par 14th I hit a 351 yard drive down the middle. On the back nine I shot 44 which let my front nine down but it was OK. Overall a fun round.
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.

Work Experience at TGGC Pro shop with Terry, Jo, Jane, and James! :D
Last week, 15th - 19th, I completed one weeks work experience in my local pro shop it was good fun but only when the shop was busy and I wasn't cleaning buggies! :( Work experience was very useful and I learnt a lot even if it was boring at times. I learnt how to check stock and put it into a 'goods in' book and put it on to the system. I also learnt how hard it was for Terry to make money when there were no customers practically all week (Monday - Thursday), however, on Friday it was much better I still did a lot of cleaning but I learnt the most important thing, which was how to re-grip clubs. But on Friday it was more busy and the best day by far because we made a lot of money! Overall a great week with all the pros.
Thank you Terry! :D
Thank you Terry! :D
Golf Leadership course
Today, I visited North Wilts to take part in a golf leadership course. It was very useful however a bit on the boring side, it consisted of me and group of us being taught by an advanced PGA professional who teaches young children the importance of keep golf alive and popular. I learnt a lot of important things and had some fun whilst doing it. Within a month I should also have a certificate saying I am 'qualified' to do low level teaching :D
