Head Pro
I'll apologise now as i'm about to blow my own trumpet...
Started to get back into golf towards the end of last year, joined Thetford golf club and got my 3 cards in which resulted in a new handicap of 16, which i thought would be a good starting point. Anyway, first few comps didn't go as planned, off the top of my head there were scores of 90 and 97 and a couple of NR's, the only highlight being a 4th place finish in a medal. Handicap remained at 16.
In June I took the plunge and ordered a load of new gear, irons, wedges, 3 wood, electric trolley etc and lessons were ongoing, the biggest surprise was the trolley, i've always carried my bag but the trolley has definitely helped with fatigue towards the end of the round.
About 4/5 weeks ago I played in a board comp and shot a nett 65 and won it (css is usually 73 sometimes 74) this resulted in a cut to 14. Following week another board comp, 36 hole event, in the AM i finished with a nett 67, and the PM a nett 70, I won the best overall nett prize and another cut plus ESR to 10.
Then came back after a week away, played a few holes here and there and all was well. Wednesday just gone was the midweek medal, shot a gross 76, my lowest ever round, won the comp, and now according to HDID another cut and ESR and it now shows my handicap as 6.3 (haven't been to the club to confirm it yet, don't know how reliable HDID is?) Seems i've found some form, 16 to 6 and 3 comp wins in a row in about 4/5 weeks, bit crazy but the bar card has been nicely topped up!
