everything was falling into place yesterday.. couple of monster drives for me which found fairway
there was this down hill par 4 , 296.. hit driver to land and roll to 30 yards short of the green, my mate then borrowed my driver and hit same shot just landed 20 yards short lol he wanted to keep the driver I told him where to go
net 62 yesterday on a par 70 thats SSS was 67 so was very happy
Went round in 79 today (par is 69), but that included two double bogeys and a three putt
After my screed on bunkers the other day I must confess I went in two today, one greenside stiffed to two feet for a sand save and one fairway, 93 yard PW cutting the dogleg and onto the green
I've been working on swinging smooth and easy and it paid off a lot today. There's still the demon insisting "If swinging with no effort hits it that far, just help it along its way a bit", but we all know that's the way to madness. Feeling the weight of the clubhead on both backswing and downswing all the way through the ball is what works for me.
Played Canons Brook on Saturday afternoon, Mad Dogs & Englishmen etc.
1st time I'd played there for a couple of years and they've cut down a few trees, notably on the 1st and 18th which makes both holes slightly easier in that you can see more of the approach to the greens.
Played OK but struggled with the Driver due to 'sweaty palm syndrome'. 28 points mainly down to an improvement in my short game around the greens which were nice and fast.
Society day at Girton near Cambridge on Wednesday, better than going to work (hopefully).

I haven't played there for a couple of years as well... the 18th is(was) a rediculous hole... shortish par 5, but because of the poxy trees it is such a frustrating hole, as if you hit a perfect drive you'd still have no chance of getting on in 2.
awful putting today let me down... getting a bad taste of 3 putts
played cranham got 34 points
should have been a lot better.. I had 34 points after 16 holes and then blob blob because I suffering with a cold today and lost all energy so couldnt control anything
Scored 29 points off 11 on Wednesday in Society Day at Girton, Cambs. Thankfully it was a flat course on the hottest day of the year. Short game was much better than of late but too wayward off the tee on occasions with the big stick. Played the 5 par 3 s in +1 so maybe need to play percentages off the tee rather than 'grip it and rip it'. And it was definitely more enjoyable than working !!!
shot a round of 90 - 34 points - nice birdie on the 8th
20 points front 9
14 back _ wheels came off a bit on the back 9 and got a blob - at 1 point was looking like it would be blob free which would have made me even happier
totally unexpected as i have been playing terribly recently - mate was over from OZ and hes been giving it the biggun so it was nice to beat him by 16 points
Had a strange round today. I'm working on a major swing change and it was the first time I used it in anger. Things didn't start too well and I went out in 51, made a slight change and did the back nine in 38.
