I’ve been playing comps at my local club for a little over 2 years now. Initially I didn’t really buy into the comp vibe and only decided to enter because it was the only way to guarantee a reasonable tee time on a Saturday. In other words, I got fed up following the last comp […]

Breaking 80
November 17, 2016 by
So I’ve been playing for a little over 3 years now and I’ve probably played over 400 rounds of golf and hit over 200,000 balls on the range. I get that that’s extreme. My worst completely recorded round ever was 171 at Windermere golf club. Recently I’ve been playing close to my 19.2 handicap having […]
Breaking 90
July 26, 2016 by
I’m pleased to say that I continue to make progress, generally hitting in the low nineties. Last Friday I had my best round ever when I went round in 42/42 for 84. That’s 6 under my current 19 handicap. On Sunday I played a 4BBB Stapleford open with my mate Gez and we turned in […]
Progress Update
November 11, 2015 by
Wow, how time flies, as does my golf ball when I catch it sweet with my 7 iron. So I haven’t checked in for some time, mainly because I’ve been playing a lot of golf and generally enjoying it. My last 4 rounds have been 95, 94, 93 and 97 in varying conditions including rain […]

December 10, 2014 by

When I find time, I’ll write some more specific posts but here are my highlights and frustrations (inevitably) from 2014. Practice: The […]

I am Probably NOT the Worst Golfer in the World Anymore
January 2, 2014 by
It’s been a little over 7 months now since I first picked up a golf club and I’ve neglected to update my progress recently as, well, golf is just so time consuming … So I’ll start this update with my last round at Windermere Golf Club on Sunday 29th December 2013 First the numbers: 51 […]
Golf Lessons
October 31, 2013 by
I’m a relative expert, on golf lessons … Firstly, everyone I’ve ever played with who’s better than me has offered me advice And I’m thankful for it Second, after today, the number of professionals that I’ve taken lessons from totals three, so I think I’m now qualified to make an assessment on them And me […]
It Don’t Mean a Thing if you Ain’t got that Swing
October 27, 2013 by
Time for an update on my progress. I’ve played maybe a dozen rounds in total at Windermere, Grange over Sands and Ulverston and I tend to card in the 121 to 127 range, so consistantly poor. Occasionally I’ll par a hole and/or have a run of maybe 3 to 5 holes where I’m around 2 […]
