NEW SUMMER SHOES!!!!!!!!!! :D

New Ashworth Cardiff size 8!

Tidworth junior match against Highpost

I had my first junior match against Highpost today it was a fairly good day for a round of golf not too windy and the perfect temperature. The guy I was playing against was a 15 handicapper so I received 2 shots, I ended up beating him 2 up with 1 to play. Our Tidworth team won over all 5 - 1.    

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! :)

June 2013!

Yes I am useless and nothing has been added for over a year!

So much has happened that I will miss things and have probably forgotten a lot. So here is a short list with some details where I can remember:

• April 2012 - finally became Junior member at Tidworth Garrison Golf Club
• Continued to see Charlie every 6 weeks down at Burgess Hill Golf Centre
• Worked on a lot of different aspects of my swing as needed
• Kept in touch using video feedback that Dad takes whilst I am playing and practising
• Carried on going to Tidworth Academy until the end of 2012 but now spend the time on the course playing rounds
• Bought a new putter (2nd hand) putter from the Pro Shop - TaylorMade Rosso - then added a Chelsea grip :-)
• Asked to attend Wiltshire Junior Golf Academy in May 2012 which ran until the Autumn
• Finally (just after Christmas) managed to complete 3 rounds for handicap so now have an official handicap of 28
• Invited back to Wiltshire Academy March 2013 for early season training
• Have set target for 2013 to get down to 18 handicap and then down to 8 for 2014....
• Bought myself a new (2nd hand) driver and 3w from the pro shop - TaylorMade RBZ - very nice!
• New driver and 3w have made a huge difference to my game as much longer
• Dad is still keeping on all my stats on spreadsheets but I don't really look at them as often as I should
• Dad has created a spreadsheet I can use on my phone to record my short game block practise scores when I go up to the club
• As soon as the clocks changed I started going up to the club 3 times a week after school
• May 27th I finally played by first handicap open junior competition at Cumberwell Park. It was very very windy and I found it a hard. I had some great holes but some not do great - didn't earn any OOM points which was my target
• Played a junior Bowmaker at TGGC on 29th May and the team came third, only 3 points behind the winners!
• 31st May I was asked to represent the club in a match on Sunday so hopefully more news then

1:6
2:4
3:9

Best hole was the 1st. Teed off into strong wind from front of tee and drove to 150 yard marker (out drove others). Used 3 wood and hit good low shot which landed 5 yards from front right of green. Chipped on with 9 iron and ended up 10 foot from hole but above. First putt was tricky down hill but slipped past right edge. Missed silly 3 foot back up hill and pushed it right!

Worst hole was 3rd. Drove high right towards trees into rough. Rescue shot got caught in trees. Fortunately was able to get out of trees with 9 iron. Then hit good rescue to about 10 yards of front of green. Chipped on with 9 iron but a little strong and went 20 foot past pin. 4 putted!!

Practise - week ending 05/02/12

My practice has been a lot better this week, we've  been to the playing fields 3 times and done 7 iron block practice. We went to the club for 2 hours Saturday afternoon - I started with chipping to 30 yrds but could seem to get the swing right and it was not very good. We then did some general bunker practise which was okay followed by some pitching which was also okay. We did N,E,S,W putting and I scored 12/16 at  3 foot and 7/12 at 6 foot.

saturday golf practice with Charile

On Saturday me and my dad went to see Charlie. Soon as we arrived Charlie arrived we then went into the restaurant and sat down and talked about the past month, about when we practice and the different exercises that I can do. Soon after we went to the range and practiced block practice which I didn’t know about at the time. We did that for about 1hour and half then we went to the putting green and practice different distances. Once we had done the practice we went onto the course. The first hole went really bad but it gradually got better and towards the end I got some really long putts, then it came to an end so me and my dad went home.
