After my disastrous round of golf last week, where I shot a 120, this week was much better. Last week was exacerbated by the fact that I hadn’t played at all in 9 months, and a full 18 holes in as many months, and I’d never played at Hurstville before. A quick trip to the driving range to refamiliarise myself with my swing didn’t really help either.

So, after signing up for another round with Simon, Danny, Clyde & Chris this week, I hit the driving range twice this week to get my 3,4 & 5 irons dialled in. It worked pretty well, and this week I managed a 108, which is about normal for me. More importantly, I also got my first birdie on a full-size course. With a following wind, I hit a pitching wedge around 120m, getting a creat bounce and leaving it about 3m from the pin. Hit a sweet putt and got the distance just right, the ball teetering on the edge before dropping in. Gotta happy with that ;-)

I’m tempted to play a few more times before I leave for Canada to see if I can improve more and maybe get closer to 100, but there’s not much point really. Might as well wait until I get back, on until summer rolls around in Vancouver.
