How can you go from your best score one week to your worst the next?

Hey ho. The funny thing was I never felt things were too bad.

OK I did have a few problems swiping at the ball on holes 1 and 2 but thats no warm up.

Mostly I made good progress towards the green.

My chipping/putting was poor so hey ho.

I had 3 pen.

1 in bush from tee on hole 3.
1 in ditch half way along fairway on hole 14.
1 in lake at hole 15.

1st hole went a long way but rolled into bunker.
2nd went ok till I got 50 yards to go. (Had problems hitting ball off tee?)
3rd was a mess fromt the tee. (went right with 5i)
4th was a mess to the tee. (short 1st then into rough on right not out clean)
5th was ok. (bad tee shot)
6th was good. PAR
7th was ok to the green
8th went in bunker from tee.
9th took 6 to get to green.
10th went over road but was ok to green.
11th was good fairway then messy into hole.
12th was on green in 1 then 3 put.
13th was on green in 4 then messy.
14th was in bushes from tee then in ditch for a pen, then ok.
15th was just a little too short to clear the lake with 5i.
16th was good to 20 yards from green.
17th was great tee shot the messy around green
18th was great tee shot then into bushes instead of on green with 2nd shot.


Mon 17 Sep 2012 Practice 150+ Balls

Normal format.

Maybe I have played too much in last few days.

OK ish.. but def not great.

Not too bad with 3w and Driver though.

Not good enough to play any real shots with.

Its getting dark at nights now..

Sun 16 Sep 2012 Dummer 18 Holes

With M. (With new white driver!)

M always plays well here

Early enough for warm up 2 quid each.

Played very steady all way round no terrible scores but no good ones either.

Lost 1 ball even though I saw where it landed and it was only light rough.

Went in the long bunker and took 3 shots to get out.

Took 2 shots out of bunker on hole 2.

Got close ish to green on several holes.

Had more 3 puts than I would like.

Had a couple of stressful holes when we got called to pass a 4 ball.

M won on holes and net but I won by 1 shot.

Best stick = 4r.

Fun...

Sat 15 Sep 2012 Practice 180+ Balls

Usual, not bad except for 4 guys in next bays... they were chatting for England.


Tue 11 Sep 2012 Paultons Park

Yippee...

OK its only 100, but for me its a new record.

Played after work with R.

Scored steady no great shots just steady progress and mainly 2 puts.

My new out to in swing means I can rely on some (or quite a bit) of right. (so aim left works well).

My chipping was good enough so that was fun.

Had 1 Pen on hole 4 where I hit second shot too far and lost the ball.

Had 1 Pen on hole 10 in the ditch.

Had 3 off the tee on 11th (into nearby bush!) which was a pity as its a nice easy hole. This was my only 0 point SS hole.

I just missed several fairways (by a couple of inches).

As I said at the start Yippee!

Sun 9 Sep 2012 Practice 80+ balls

Usual .. not bad but not great!
A bit of a rush

Sat 8 Sep 2012 9 and 18 Holes Chichester

With M.

M had new white driver.

Warm up 20+ balls

9 hole par 3.. scored 30!

18 Hole nice weather. Set off behind 2 ball and when we got to 2nd tee we had to wait for 2 ball and a 5 ball to finish. Not a good start.

M hit massive drive on hole 2 with new stick.

Had to pass 5 ball on hole 4. Stress...

Played ok almost all way round.

Tue 4 Sep 2012 Paultons Park

With R.

After lesson.

Started cautiously as usual. Lost first ball but still scored 6 on par 4.

Back to my normal score of 110 but I enjoyed it and only took 3 penalties.

1 on hole 1 one in lake and on off last tee due to pressure of being in lead.

I hit several good shots and only a few bad ones.

Was really hot even though we started at 4pm.

Good!

Tue 4 Sep 2012 Lesson

Check new back swing... its a bit far out try to line it up rather than take it out.

Still I hit more balls in the right direction than of late.

Still having problem with left arm doing cricket hit rather then golf swing finish.

Also can't relax ... grr .. don't know why. This does not help I am sure!

Better...
