A bit more practice

Went out today for seven holes. For a number of reasons I haven't been able to play for nearly a fortnight. The light was good and the course was a bit wet on top but frozen solid underneath. The ponds have still not thawed after December's cold weather. After a brilliant first drive it went a bit downhill until I started to get my preparation right. Came of with 13 points even though I didn't play particularly well. A rare regulation par on the eighth. Hit most of the fairways.
Heard to day that a friend scored 6 points in a competition with a hole in one. She has only been playing eighteen months.
Got to book a date for a round on the Brabazon at The Belfry soon.

2011 starts well

A member of Norwood Park Golf Club, playing off 26. This year I would like to a) play regularly to 26 and then get one or two shots lower.

Last Tuesday I played my best round ever, on The Derby Course at The Belfry. Having played very badly the day before I halved a 16 point deficit with a 34 point round, spoilt by a drive into water on 16 and out of bounds on 17.

Since then I played 9 holes for 18 points on Thursday and today went out and played just 5 holes at two points a hole.
