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.

The most pleasing aspect was the fact that I performed well on the back 9. +1 overall from 10 through to 18, with 2 birdies on the index 2 and 5 holes of our course. I knew as I was standing over a ...

18/1/12 Wednesday. With an electricity outage this morning it was not possible to do anything work wise so I headed out on the golf course for a casual 9 holes. Following yesterdays extended time on the range hitting a bucket of balls with the 6 iron and driver into the wind there was some definite progress.
