29/6/11 A good weekend on the courses for me, played in the stroke competition at Kingston SE on Saturday, then the 27 hole foursome at Robe on the Sunday. A weekend of third places, satisfied with the 85 gross for 71 nett at Kingston, first time in an A grade competition and was not far off, 1st 69 and 2nd place 70 nett.

The pleasure of traipsing around the golf course so far this winter has been increased with the brilliant weather. There has beena bit of good fortune as the rains have fallen on the non-competition days, leaving us golfers with having to walk around in sunshine in recent rounds. Making the best of the good weather at the minute and getting my gamefocus back at the same time is working. The benefit from making the effort to not play for about a fortnight has paid ...
