Sunday 20/2/11
Beginning the last week prior to the Southern Ports Tournament starting on Monday 28th February, feeling satisfied with my preparation.

The recent competition results have all been encouraging earning a 16 handicap one above the minimum for “B” grade since November from the practise and training ...

Monday 14/2/11 Played to my expectations on Sunday, which is why the result was so pleasing to me as a player and a person who loves the game.

I am particularly chuffed with having scored the following 88,87,94,83,86 over the past 5 competition rounds. In general the practise and competition golf played by myself is spaced out to feather the various weaknesses ...
