The Rematch!

Today, I played with Callum, Harry and Max. We played fourball better ball matchplay because Harry and Max (winter league champions) wanted to try and beat Callum and I. Last year we played matches against them and beat them all three times. It was a great match...between Max and I! Callum and Harry didn't play very well but Max and I did, I shot a 75 which I was pleased with. Callum and I lost 4 & 3 however it was a gross match and Max was 1 under gross! Overall a fun day!

Practice round with Tim!

Today, I played a practice round with my good friend Tim McNally. I shot 76 which is 3 under handicap and 6 over gross however I had 2 double bogies! I felt like I played OK but felt a fair few shots out there. A great day with great company.

KO Match VS Upavon

Today, I played in a Junior KO match VS Upavon. Previously our three man team (Callum, Brennan and I) beat Bowood, however, today we lost against Upavon. We all gave 8 shots or more which is always tough when your playing away too. I played a junior called Tom who beat me 2 & 1, I felt like I played OK but he used his shots well.

First Competition Back!

Today, I played in the Bulford Cup, unfortunately I didn't play very well but I put that down to a lack of practice and being ill. It was 36 holes in one day and it was great fun! It felt amazing to be competing again and I can't wait for my next comp and hopefully I play better! I shot 80 in the first round which was ok as it was only 1 over handicap, however second round I shot 88 which is 9 over handicap. Oh well, head up and on to the next comp! Can't wait!

My first round back!

So, I was meant to play my first round back on the 29th however I could not complete it. On the 6th I started to feel pain and got to 14 and found that I was unable to complete the round. But today I did complete my first round! I shot a 78 which I am very happy with considering the circumstances. Hopefully, I play even better in my next round, which is the Bulford Cup. The competition is this Saturday and it's 36 holes in one day! Wish me luck!

Why I haven't been blogging (28/05/2016)

Annoyingly, I have been ill for the last 7 weeks! which has meant that I haven't been able to play golf. I missed out on 4 big board comps which infuriated me but there was nothing I could do about it. Since I have started the medication I feel a lot better and am beginning to build up my strength again. I have been on the range a few times trying to find my swing, which I must admit I don't think I've lost. I went up after school yesterday (05/27) and went on the range and chipping green for a couple of hours. Surprisingly, I am actually hitting the ball well including my driver, I still need to work on a few things but i'll do that over time (baby steps). I plan to go up the club today and practice all aspects of my game and hopefully be ready to play my first round tomorrow (05/29). Considering I feel like I am hitting the ball well I hope to at least to my handicap, which means shooting a gross 79, however, before I became ill my last round I shot a 75 which is 4 under handicap. And also playing with Tim in the Junior captains day comp we shot 7 under gross and we both played amazingly well! I'm not expecting to shoot 7 under but I wouldn't mind shooting a gross 77, 2 under.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Expect another post.

Junior Captains Day!

Today, I played in the Junior Captains day comp with my good friend and playing partner Tim McNally. It was a pairs stableford scramble which was very enjoyable especially considering we won! We scored a collective of 46 points! We shot 7 under gross with a bogey on 17 due to a silly 3 putt from both of us! However, it was a fun day and a thoroughly enjoyed it. It was sad to see Perter Blake (past KO junior organiser) and Brian Bosley (past Junior Chairman) leave their roles in the junior section. Words can't express how kindhearted both of them are and I wish them good health for the future. Overall great day and even bagged myself 50 quid!
