Gosnells Open Day 1

Good to get back into it after a few days down south doing some salmon fishing.

Had a good practice session on thursday and a fun nine holes of practice at Gosnells yesterday. Haven't seen Hoppy for a few weeks now, but jsut this week i feel like i'm getting through the ball better and hitting better shots, better compressed, better flight.

Shot 78 this morning (+8). Doesn't sound great but the scores weren't real flash.

Happy with the way i struck it, just didn't hole enough putts (35) and didn't get it up and down when i needed to. 3 Double bogeys killed me and that's how you shoot 78.

Tomorrow is a new day and i feel like a score can be had.

Till then, it's back to essay writing. Fun fun fun !!

Mandurah Easter Amateur

Honestly, quite a disappointing week. Didn't feel comfortable with my swing starting with the practice round on Friday.

Just couldn't get the ball in play off the tee and it just killed me... It felt like everytime i missed a fairway i was chipping out sideways.

Ended with rounds of 79 and 81 and another missed cut. Mandurah is just the sort of course that you can hit driver everywhere but as soon as it's offline your in trouble. The safer play is to hit more fairway woods/hybrids and irons off tees to get the ball in play because once you hit hte fairway then you have the ability to hit the green. Funny that.

So that easter weekend left me with plenty to think about...
