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.

Practice Round at Tidworth
Today I played by myself in not so nice weather conditions. I played well and shot 77 which is 7 over gross but 3 under handicap, so a good score. I am already seeing progress and we are only 2 months into the year so hopefully come the season I will be able to cut my handicap. #Bringonthenewseason #Grind

SkyTrak
Today I used the new SkyTrak system that Terry had installed into his shop. It was really helpful and told me my spin numbers and carry. I was carrying a 7 iron 179 yards which was a surprise to me. Thank you Terry.

Adidas/TayloMade HQ visit!
Today some of the juniors and I visited the Adidas and TaylorMade HQ. It was AMAZING! Drew (the European Commercial Director of Adidas/TaylorMade) showed us around the offices and factory. We saw where they assemble the clubs and send off equipment to the tour pros. As a team we also picked our team gear for the coming season, it looks very nice. Overall, a fun, interesting evening, I also saw a nice pair of summer shoes that are being released fairly soon :) Thank you Drew.
Round of golf at the Berkshire with Charlie (Blue Course)
Today I played a round at the Berkshire with my coach. I shot 81 which is level my handicap however my score could have been 6 or more shots better. I had 3, 3 putts and a triple bogey, I also missed several short putts (6ft and in). It just shows that my handicap could be a lot lower. Overall a really nice day.

Adult/Junior Foursomes Stableford 14 Hole.
Today I played in a foursomes stableford and my partner was the Junior captains Dad (Marc). We had 25 points over 14 holes, so not too bad. The winners had 28 points however they had a considerably higher handicap compared to us. The weather was terrible however 30 people still turned out to play the competition. Overall a good day.

Golf Update
Just a quick update. I had an injury a few weeks ago and it is finally starting to get better. I have been playing well recently, shooting under handicap frequently. I went up the club today and started by going on the range working on my swing, I then played 7 holes. Finally, I finished with a bit of chipping. Target of this year is sub 5. #Grind
