30/7/11 Have maintained the 9 hole rounds through the week just gone getting in 4 sessions playing the course instead of range practise. The downside is only the amount of time it takes to play 9 holes as opposed to hitting balls on the practise fairway. Fortunately my longer irons and drivers have a good quality about them at the minute thanks to the practise so far this season. I put in a lot more time with the short game as this is going to take the most adjustment while using the old set until ...
19/7/11 In hindsight the Club Captain’s decision to call off the round on Sunday was fantastic. Even though I mildly disputed his call and was one of only 3 golfers revving to go out in the rain. It was only because the ‘game face’ was on, once normal brain transmission resumed it was much better not out there on the course. There rescheduling of the round is going to cause some ructions. For me it will be a hard choice to not ...
15/7/11 A little good fortune on my part in hindsight has been the program error which listed the CavPower Tournament this Sunday at Lucindale when it is actually next week.

That means playing at the home track in a rescheduled Monthly Medal and 1st Round of the Caledonian Inn Trophy on Sunday. Looking forward to a stroke round and defending the title from last season, hopefully ...
10/7/11 After the week away and making a reasonable effort to stay golf free to recover from the effort of eight weeks dedicated practise, the call of the sticks was too much to withstand in the end. Apart from an hour Friday at the Drummond range in Adelaide, giving the 460cc driver its first decent hit in 6 months and the Knox blades to get my swing tuned up, no golf was in my week. Had the crucial one hour massage to work out some strains and muscle stiffness before hand, first rub down in 3 ...
7/7/11 Day four of no golf, have not broken out in sweats or tremors from withdrawal. Physical condition is better without the hitting of golf balls every day, the continuous wrist pain of the past two weeks has gone as have various other strains and aches. Do miss being out side and enjoying the exercise of developing the fluid rythym of swinging golf sticks. Even in the gale strength winds, rain and cold conditions during the past two months that did not stop me from getting out and practising ...
