16/8/12 Thursday. No practise is going to happen today, in the words of Noah (before the publisher edit), “It is p!ssing down” With some luck perhaps a bit of putting may happen later in the day if the rain goes to intermittent showers. Not the best situation for my preparation for the championship qualifier on Sunday but not a concern. Compared to the 2011 season at this stage then I was running on empty as the season drew towards the championships. There were a few injury problems ...
13/8/12 Monday. Once again the two competition round golfing weekend has delivered winning results in my game. Ever since I started travelling away to play on Saturdays,when playing the next day in the home track competition no matter how I perform away my golf is either a winning or top three place result. It is an odd experience as the away courses are very different, invariably the greensare faster and fairways feature taller trees. This seems to make me hit much straighter off the tee and fairways, ...
12/8/12 Sunday. The good golf form which has been sitting back apart from occasional glimpses in rounds of late came out in full light during yesterdays round atKingston SE.

The All hybrid set again showed itsbenefits, GIR were above my usual standards 50% of greens hit and those missed were in the less than 5 metre zone. ...
3/5/12 Thursday With the continued rain during the week it has been difficult to get out on the course and practise. Continued with using the old blades for anotherrange session on Wednesday. It is not that difficult in essence to hit the ball with them. There is no forgiveness for miss hits and the jarring of the hands and arms soon get me concentrating on doing it right. Today it wasback to the game set and the Bridgestone J36’s are a treat to hit the ball with in comparison. Practise ...
Thursday 14th April Not been very satisfying performance wise on the courses for the past few weeks. A little mentally flat same as this time last seasonafter Southern Ports, still put in some good rounds at the home track. Away from home though on different courses my play to say the least has been below average. It is still a novelty to look at my current handicap of 14and picture this time last season when it was 19 or 20, 6 strokes higher! Playing with the ability ...
