26/3/12 Monday. Two days of competition golf this weekend again and the result is more improvement.

Have been getting very close, playing to handicap and in to the zone of breaking it. What is stopping this is poor putting and chipping. The Kingston round on Saturday returned 35 points.

The weather was a little better than I expected and again the trip up to play the course the day before paid off. As ordinary club golfers the fact is checking out a course beside the home track prior to a round is not an option in most cases. The whole preparation I put ...
