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 ...

Have put the Sand Wedge from the iron set used in 2010 into the bag replacing the 60 degree wedge. Play more consistently in getting the distance with this iron than the 60 degree at the minute. Would prefer to be more adept with the higher lofted club given the ...

2/1/12 Monday The pre-Tournament training kicked off this morning with an 11 am coaching session. This year is coming up to 3 years of becoming a better informed golfer and improving the physical capability to play the game. It has been a continuing period of improvement in this time, moving from 36 to a 12 handicap. The game itself has grabbed me like many golfers and besides the enjoyment of playing the game there is the pleasure of being a student of golf. Even the dedicated atheist can become ...
