28/9/12 Still recuperating to an extent and playing minimum golf at the minute. Playing nine holes last Friday after a couple of days using the driving nets and a good hit out at Drummond golf driving range at West Beach. Yesterday playing 5 social holes and sticking with the changed attitude off the tee and even surprising myself and continuing to hit the ball with aggression on the fairway also. It was an erratic day when it came to accuracy but that was improving with every hit. What is ...

A few stretches and loosenedup from the first swing to the last 35 balls later, every one reminded me why I enjoy playing golf as much as I do. In hindsight the break has been a wise move. The smoothness of the shots and the energy and power was terrific to feel again. It was as if a mountain of weighthad been removed from my shoulders and restraints ...
8/9/12 Apologies for the delayed acknowledgement of your contributions, Golfgeek3005, RABBITSFOR08. One of the joys of rural living and moving house is the transfer of communication services. May be better off with carrier pigeons instead of telcomunications, less crap with pigeons. The money is a factor, the tournaments are part of the day job for professional golfers. As is the sanctioned status of a tournament and the entry success gives to other events. The distance to be travelled ...
