2012 is nearly up,what's been your Highlights and Lowlights??

[Fish]

Highs:

My first full year at my club and meeting so many great & interesting people: Winning at Blackmoor H4H: Winning my first ever golf trophy in my first season at my club: Seeing Chelsea win the European Cup:

Lows:

Closing down a 12 year old business: Not getting handicap cut as much as I wanted: British Weather:

Summary:

A real mixed bag. Will be glad to see the back of 2012 in terms of business/work but still have some legal battles to come in the New Year. However, really got into my golf, more so in the latter part of the year and looking for significant cut/s during 2013 whilst playing more courses and meeting many GM members.

The golf is helping me switch off from the pressures elsewhere so I'll just have to play more.....

Lows

[Imurg]

Highs - H4H at Blackmoor and the Camberley meet too. A solitary under par round coupled with keeping Fragger at bay (just!). Enjoying my golf even when playing like a tart. Away from Golf the main high was a smooth transition from Junior to Secondary School for The Boy. A good first term for him and, importantly, he likes it!
Downs - not playing as well as I can for large chunks of the year pains me, the probable closure of my course/club due to an unnecessary train line and the quality of the weather. Also, this sodding 'flu I picked up on Xmas day - it's doing my head in. Sick and tired of being sick and tired..
