24/1/12 Tuesday. Back on the driving range this morning with the p/w and the 5 iron from the AP2 set and the old 4 iron from the cavity back set I used last season. It had been something considered for a couple of weeks and after the round on Sunday I wanted to get out and put the idea that distance has been gained. The old 4 iron was something that had been eclipsed distance wise previously with the new AP2 5 iron. I am a believer that the your golf technique, is more effective than having the ...
Course: Glenmore Heritage Valley Comp: Single stableford Score: 39 points (15/24) H/cap movement: Down (13.8 to 13.0) I'd had a couple of social rounds at Glenmore earlier in the week and the comp round seemed to mirror what happened in those social rounds.

This was not a gentle breeze but a gusting wind that took some improved concentration to play strokes into. Apart from five big lofted slices towards the end of the session with the driver the ...
17/1/12 Tuesday. After the 9 hole Chicken Run on Friday I did not pick a golf club up again until Monday afternoon. No specific golf reason, a combination of having to do other things and golf is something I do for fun as a sport. A lazy 10 points after the Friday hit enjoying the camaraderie and not trying too hard. Was motivated to play on Sunday but after doing the Junior Golf Clinic and starting the competition had a choice between a swim at the beach and golf, the cooling dip won. ...
13/1/12 Friday. Right now is one of those moments when I am pleased to have made the effort. It is now two weeks since the coaching sessions and putting my head down and committing to the task of getting my game in tune for the Southern Ports Tournament in March. This year is noticeably more difficult than the previous two, in part because the rate of improvement is less now that I am in A grade on a 12 hcp. Whilst the improvement is happening, the range sessions are based upon making slight adjustments ...
