4th round in 5 days. I’ve been drilling some swing changes hard today. The results on the course are interesting.
I’ve lost a little bit of distance but gained consistency. I’m expecting to get the distance back as I get used to the changes.

Brilliantly cold this morning. Shot 89 with 4 penalty shots as well so I definitely left a few out there.

Check out how I completely destroyed my round over the last four holes. Impressive, eh? 😂

The warmer weather has arrived, hurrah! It brings rain and wind with it, boo!
Bit of a practice round this morning, approach play was atrocious. Missed 9 Greens in regulation. NINE.
Huge improvement from 120ish yards required.

Hopefully this is the last day of this crappy cold easterly that’s been with us for a couple of weeks.
Played an awful front but a better back 9. (49 out 🙄 42 in 😀)
22% GIR, 54% FIR, 29 putts.
A lot of positives to take away from today though. Onto the next one.

Up and getting ready to head to the course for a practice round. It feels like Groundhog Day regarding the weather.
It’s been like this for ages. Really looking forward to spring.

If you’re looking for a low cost home putting practice option, buy a framer’s or roofer’s square. About £8.
Great for practicing your putting set up, squaring the club face and sending the ball on a straight path.

Project target 14 begins this week here on cold, windy, wet and muddy golf course here in England.
I’ve set myself a relatively modest target of 14 handicap this year which means I need to work very hard and practice like a maniac!

My first trip to the driving range since November.
A much needed practice session.

Managed to get out onto the course and played surprisingly well. Shot 85, ball striking was good, greens were wintery slow and kept under hitting putts. 2 hours 30 mins as well. All good.

After five weeks I’ve finally managed to play 18 holes pain free.
Shot a respectable 91, ball striking was surprisingly good. 32 putts, a few pars and even a birdie.
I’m just so happy to be able to play again. It’s been a tough time.

Watching a LET game and noticed that one of the player’s caddy is using a stand bag. Why don’t more professional golfers use stand bags?

More progress today, managed 9 holes. Slightly surprised to find I’m hitting the ball relatively well and even used my driver.
