Hi All,
Just wanted to share some good news with you lovely lot, as today has been a very good day for me....
Firstly, I managed to drive my car this afternoon for the first time in 3 months, so I'm no longer reliant on friends and the missus to get places
Secondly, and much more importantly, I managed to play a full round of golf for the first time in 3 months too. Woohoo!!!
I'd played a few holes earlier in the week as well as had a few trips to the range to test my swing, my leg strength / balance, and whether I was comfortable enough to play and decided I was, so ventuerd into the sun this afternoon for a solo round.
Started off playing like a complete pleb with 3 doubles on the bounce but managed to par the next 2 holes. Played the remaining 4 holes in 4 over gross leaving me with a 1 under hc 45.
The back 9 was a mix of the same but tiredness took hold and I struggled off the tee a bit more but managed to finish on a high with a nice par 5 on the 18th. Counted the numbers and was chuffed to have shot a level handicap round of 91.
Lots of bad shots (as expected) but also plenty of good shots, especially with the shiny new Vokeys which arrived yesterday, but off the tee I was pants. All of my bad ones were going left which was disappointing as before today I'd been driving the ball better than I ever have.
Still, I won't complain as it's awesome to be back playing. Still got to take things easy but suffice to say, I'm blooming chuffed!! All I need to do now is sort my membership at my new home to be, get a lesson or two booked in with the pro, get some regular practice sessions in and get back to playing as much as I can!!
Absolutley cream crackered now so time for a long sit down on the sofa and a nice takeaway
Sorry for the long post. That is all.
