New season approachs

Also it is just a year since I started playing again. I that year I have managed to play 28 different courses. One of the most recent was The West Lancashire Golf Club.


West Lancs, is one  of the oldest courses in England and is a typical links course with very punitive rough, I didnt score too badly but 4 poor teeshots into the rough meant 4 holes I didnt score any points on.

So as the title suggests it is now just over  2 weeks to the AGM and then the first competition of the new season the day after.  Before then I still have quite a bit of competitive golf to play. I have managed to win my group in our winter league, so on Tuesday I play the Lady Captain in the semi finals, with the final the following week if I win. There is also the 2nd round of the Mail on Sunday Club Knockout, for which we were drawn away at Hindley Hall, a course I haven't played so the team are going there on thursday to play the course prior to the match next sunday. The following weekend I am playing in a Golf Monthly Forum 2 day meet where we will play Formby one day and then Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) the day after. Hoylake will be the first Open venue I have played so I am obviously looking forward to that. It couldnt be further from the 9 hole public course I played
 just 12 months ago.

I am really looking forward to the new season and am hoping for a decent handicap reduction over the season, although I still worry about consistancy. Last thursday I played 27 holes and had 4 birdies, great going, but the day after I played at Chorlton-cum-Hardy GC and played very poorly, in fact I didnt score less than 5 on a hole until the 17th!

I have another lesson booked before the season starts and hopefully that will set me in good stead.
