Tour Rookie
In typical fashion I decided to take the game back up after being away for a few years, on and off like a hookers underwear.
Stopped in 1999, started again and played 2011/2012 and then again in 2018 for one season. I did start again at the tail end of the 2021 season as I get my membership with my job and got a handicap of 5.0, I then never played again until the second half of the 2022 season and had put in something like 19 scores and after going up and down a little bit I finished the season back where I started……5.0!
I decided for this season I was going to take it more serious, I started playing 4 weeks before the season started and played once per week, I played more when it was the club champs etc. I managed to get down to 2.4 quite quickly this year but then I hit a rough patch, the handicap crept up to 3.0 then the last two rounds of the year seen it go down to 2.2 then back up to 2.8, the joys of having a good score disappear wreaking havoc on the handicap.
The plan next year is to try and play twice per week, once during the week concentrating on practising the short game etc. The goal will next season will be 1.5 with the end goal being scratch or better, to get as low as I possibly can, it’s a tough game, I find it difficult to keep it going for a full 18, so many times with 6 to go I’m sitting pretty then disaster, if I can cut that out I’ll be laughing.
I‘m loving golf again, playing it and watching it.
