Grunt's Golf Adventure - Trying to get back on that Horse!

[Grunt]

Hi all
Who is available for a game or 2 next week. I will be off Tuesday to Friday. One of those days I will be making the trek up to Kooindah Waters to play my rain check round from mid last year. Should be able to play 2 of the other days too, i have to organise a car service that week too.

[Grunt]

Ok, during today's round I did make a statement about giving up on playing for a while but this is not going to happen. I am going to go by the age old rule, if you fall off the horse the sooner you get back on the better. Next weeks plan is:

• Tuesday: Golf Somewhere
• Wednesday: Golf Somewhere/Lesson
• Thursday: Kooindah Waters
• Friday: Golf Somewhere

So I am open to offers if anyone is off next week.

[Fishman Dan]

How many times has this horse kicked you?

[Grunt]

Lots, and I keep coming back for more.

Grant, my leave starts next week. Nathan and I are booked in for Carnarvon on Tuesday but we would both be up for a hit somewhere on the Friday.

[Grunt]

Going to have a hit with some mates @ Beverley Park on Tuesday morning. Good for a game somewhere Friday, no preferences for where only prefer morning tee off not too late as it is Rachelle's Birthday.

[Grunt]

Another Day and more changes after Sunday night at work I don't go back for a fortnight . I have decided to take a break from work and have taken 4 days leave to give me such a break. I may go away for the weekend on the 12th but I will be free for a hit on the following week too.
Anyone else off work?

Weather prediction for Friday is 37 degrees. Not too sure I want to play in that sort of weather.

May wait for a few days to see if their predictions change.

[Grunt]

No worries Chris, but since when has the weather predictions been correct more than a few hours before the forecast. It will probably piss down rain now.

[Grunt]

• Tuesday - Beverley Park morning / Lesson
• Wednesday - Bankstown
• Thursday -
• Friday - ? - ping & Ping Jnr depending on weather

• Tuesday -
• Wednesday -
• Thursday -
• Friday -

Nothing else set in concrete, will no doubt play some comps in the weeks to come. Anyone else off?

[Grunt]

A few changes, going to play Bankstown tomorrow, Kooindah is dropped. I rang and got my voucher extended till the end of the month.

[Grunt]

So Ping, with the warm/Hot weather still predicted for Thursday & Friday, does that mean you are out for golf on Friday.

[Moe Norman]

got the car booked in?

[Grunt]

got the car booked in?

? Car service was done on Monday.

[Fishman Dan]

Thanks Moe.... Grant was going for a record in consecutive posts and you ruined it!

Grant 39* might see me in a lot of places but a golf course isn't one of them. I think it might be a good day to take the kids to the pictures.

[Grunt]

No Worries, some other time.

[Grunt]

Going to attempt to play Macarthur Grange in the morning before it gets too hot. May even be able to play OK with the little tips I got today at my lesson. If anyone else is keen I will be there about 6:30 hoping to tee off by 7. Should be finished in around 3.5 hours and well before the heat gets up too much.

[Grunt]

Anyone keen for Bonnie Doon on Monday?
$45 when booked through Golf link. The tee times available were mid morning, 10:30ish onwards.

[Grunt]

Well the first week may be almost over but the improvements to my game have a little bit to go.

• Tuesday - Beverley Park 32 points- played ok can be better
• Wednesday - Bankstown 27 points- 4 bad holes cost me the mental game let me down, brain explosions
• Thursday - lessons
• Friday - Macarthur Grange - 36 points- played the best game in ages with the mental game staying together to score after some bad holes.

So today I play again at Macarthur Grange, good for some more fine tuning, the swing changes are becoming more entrenched in the muscle memory too.
Next week is as follows

• Monday - Bonnie Doon - a maybe at this stage
• Tuesday - Cromer
• Wednesday - Leura
• Thursday ?
• Friday - Twin Creeks
• Saturday - Macarthur Grange

I know it is a lot of golf but I just need to do it to get my game back on track.

isn't this described as obsessive compulsive ???

Good luck to you, but after playing golf for 25+ years I find 2 games a week to be more than enough... generally a diet of one game a week keeps the enthusiasm high.

pfft, I have only changed a putter this year. The fact I have changed it 3 times is irrelevent
