Playing in Comps
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 pairing/3 ball just to get a round in, with the inevitable slow play that followed. So I signed up to play in comps, and I wan't phased by it. I'm competitive in other sports and I usually up my game when the pressure's … [Read More...]

Breaking 90
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 a respectable score of 42, five points off the winning score. So on a good day I can hit 84, and on a bad day I can hit 104. That's about my range. So how have I made these improvements? I play 3-4 times a week … [Read More...]
