0.1 club

Tale of two half's for me out in three over back in twelve. Over. Very disappointing but encouraging at the same time.
 
First singles comp of the season this morning. Opened the curtains to be greeted with rain not a good start!

To be honest it cleared pretty quick and by the third we were stripping off the layers! A round of ups and downs but ended up with the 0.1!
 
Another one for me today :mad: I played better than last week (which wasn't hard) but things aren't quite clicking at the moment. It isn't a million miles away but it isn't good enough.

Oh, I hit a full on shank as well from the middle of the 15th fairway with a 9i. I usually have one a year so at least it's out of the way :D
 
Went 0.1 back on Wednesday, NRd on the front nine, once there was no card to consider I actually knocked it around semi competently :(
 
Put me in there today. Point one in some style. Minus six in the bogey. Barn door and banjo. I hate bogey. Up to 9.5. So long single digits.
 
I seem to have moved my game back into the .1 club at the moment.
Had a small cut last month in the medal but I have been working on a few swing changes which are starting to work and make me far more consistent off the tee. I haven't had a good comp game since with a net plus 4 in the last medal and a fine 24 points in the monthly stableford. I'm not giving up on the swing changes as they really are working well but I have got to get used to not having a big fade/slice off the tee and aim down the fairway instead of to the left of it. This has caused me to have to manufacture more shots out of the rough or from behind trees.
It is the first time I have felt I'm working towards a swing that I have a chance of getting to single figures with but not for maybe 18 months or so.
 
I'm back after an apocalyptic bottle job yesterday, plodding along at 1pt better than par on the 14th tee, my arse collapsed and I took 2pts from the last 5 holes. Needed eagle at the last to prevent the 0.1 but that went 50yds OOB with a huge slice :o
 
That's me joined the club,first comp. of the year for me at away club, very poor front nine (51) but at least I played well on the back nine which included 5 pars for a 42. Struggled with the pace of the greens had 4 three putts which is not like me as I don't three putt very often.
