Won my 1st comp today
      #141001 - 03/07/2009 21:26

Played in a game against Lincolnshire Police Golf Society at Blankney Golf Course and won

To be honest, I played poorly, at least I felt as though I played poorly, however I came in with 39 points.

Off the tee is the worst i've been for a number of months, I only hit 1 fairway all day My approach shots and the par 3's were really good though and I scored nett birdies on all 4 par 3's.

I was absolutely staggered that out of 75 people not a single one came in with a really good score, the course was there for the taking after a little bit of rain. Very receptive greens and fair pin positions.

Had I been half decent off the tee i'd have come in with, I reckon, about 44 points!

Got a cracking big trophy and a brand new stand bag for the individual stableford and a dozen srixon balls for 3rd in the team event.....happy days

The course is nice, quite long too at 6300yds off the yellows. The greens were slow though. A very good challenge to be honest.

The clubhouse is very nice yes, and they still have the snooker table! lol

Cheers lads. Lets hope my luck continues!

All I need now is to get my 3 cards in, get my handicap and play my first comp at my track and see how I get on there.

Off to the range later to see if I can use my driver and / or figure out why it was so poor yesterday.

LMFAO

The wonders it does for your game when you play 3-4 times a week instead of 3-4 times per month eh?

Well done Keef, good going winning in a field of 75!

I won our society with 41 this week (but a mere 15 of us compared to yours) - only hit 2 fairways, but only just off most of the others & they were hard to see (i.e. aim at the marker post, as you couldn't see the fairway)

--------------------
Just upgraded clubs via e-bay:
Still Confidence Square Driver
Taylormade 3W
Dunlop 5w
Wilson 3i Hybrid
King Cobra 4i-PW
Dunlop MkII SW
Just purchased Ping Anser 2i Putter

Hopeful that the above may help me get my current 14 handicap down to 10-12 ish this year, as been playing with pretty ordinary clubs so far!


Society handicap 14.2
