Okay so now the long game goes but the short game kicks in. Frustrating 83-83 Fri and Sat. Rebounded Sunday with an 80 with two stooopid doubles on the card and penalty drop after getting a bad bounce into the lake on 7! Really feel that I'm hitting the ball as good as I have ever done but seem to throw in a couple of mental errors keeping the score up. Par'd the last five coming in on Sunday completing the Richmond 12 with a par on 18 after drive hits tree right and leaving myself 210 yards out up the hill into breeze. Left myself an 8' birdie put but missed it. In fact I could have gone very low for me at the moment if I had converted at least 4 other birdie puts from about 10' - 12' or less!
Now off to Quail Hollow for a few days with my 5 year old boy, and hopefully pick up some tips from watching the pro's.

Hey Hey
Signs of improvement starting to show in the scoring. Shot a 77 Friday (with three birdies back to back!). Only managed an 83 Saturday with three doubles :( (two on par threes!). New Cleveland Launcher driver given me by mate "Oh" Randy working a treat off the tee, barely missed a fairway all weekend. Need to work on the short game a bit altho' putting going good. Much more positive for the coming summer golf now.

Wow ......
didn't realise it was so long since the last post! Must be because I've been playing so badly over the winter I've been almost too embarrassed to write anything about it.
Think the decline is due to trying to make some fairly radical swing changes as I had got about as far as I could get with my old swaying, non releasing, non compressing one.
Starting to see some signs of it working with the new season upon us, so have set as my first target to get back to where I was last summer (handicap index out from 6.2 to 8.7!!!!!). Ideally this year I would like to shoot at least one round of level par or better and get my index down to 4 or 5. Will just have to see how it goes and hope my wife gives me enough time off for good behaviour to practice. Unfortunately good behaviour is not one of my stronger character traits.
Watch this space.
P.S. Got my first eagle since playing at Richmond Country Club on Sunday (par 5 9th - Driver, 3 wood, putt)
