here we go

getting ready for first comp this morning, its only another round of golf so why am I feeling so nervous?

 

[Birchy]

Its probably a bit of excitement as well . Once youve got your first tee shot away you will be fine. Good luck and hope you have a good round.

 

[Heidi]

yup - pure adrenalin!! enjoy

Use the Driver on the first. Always make a connection with the big dog!

Have fun today and good luck

I think the first at Ellesmere is a par 3?

 

[louise_a]

its is a par 3 Birchy, mind you my drives only go about 170-180.

Woops. Might have to take some off it then..

I learned the hard way.Tried to play for position off the first when in comps or nervous and tended to hit it fat for some reason. A fatted driver goes further than a fatted 5 iron so always go with it now.

Just stay focused and play safe if you mess up a shot – good luck

If it's anything like here with you I suggest you take a snorkel with you. The drought has been pouring down for over 24 hours now and our fields have pools of standing water. Haven't enquired but I expect our course will be closed this morning - and still no sight of an end to the 'drought easement'.

louise if you werent nervous there would be something wrong.

Tense up your shoulder muscles for 5 secs on the tee then let them relax, takes away the tight muscled short first tee swings, then just ensure you put a smooth balanced swing on it, dont power the first shot or the golf gods will get you

it doesnt ease just human nature to be a touch nervous in comps we are all like it. play well and enjoy.
