Ok this may be a longish post so apologies in advance in case my fingers run riot.....
I made a promise to myself 3 years ago that when i took up the game after injury through football that i would try to get as low as i can and secondly that when i got to a mid handicap that i would hope to represent my club at Inter club level....
Well at the start of the season they requested that anyone interested in playing should put there names down on the relevant sheet in the club house which i duly did....As my swing was starting to show some signs of change i thought it might be a good decision to go for it now.....Anyway there have been trials 2 nights a week for the past 5 weeks and iv only been able to make 1 of them because of work...I dont finish until 6 o clock and the trials were starting at 5:30....
Anyway after playing last weekend i was really struggling with my game....Conditions were deplorable but i battled away....I knew i wasnt swinging the way i should have been..... I still havent fully settled with the changes iv made to my swing......
When i came home i decided that i should contact the club managers and tell them that i have to pull out of the team that i couldnt commit to the trials over work and that because my game was a little sketchy i would be a liability to whoever i was paired with if i happened to make the team.......and that it wasnt fair to the others me missing the trials either........I thanked them for the opportunity and wished them all the best.....
The chap i played against in the matchplay who is a very well respected member and has achieved a lot of accolades through golf and who is off of 3 and who also beat me on the 16th was pretty impressed with my game the night we played...Much to my surprise he had told me that he had a word with the team captains and said i had a very tidy game and a very impressive short game......
Now this i wasnt expecting...I prefer to achieve things on my own merit but i was flattered with his opinion of me.....
So thinking that maybe my chance of playing for the club had gone for this year at least i get a phone call tonight after work from the captain of the team.....He said that they understand my situation with work and that they had a a problem in that there wasnt enough players for the team......
He told me that i would be an asset to the team with my putting and short game alone and that they would love to have me represent the club.....
Now im one of these people that would never see anyone stuck regardless of the situation but i dont want to be seen as someone that just turns up on the day and be seen as a bit of a plank either....
There is one more trial this weekend on sunday at the course that the inter club comp is being held and i told him that i would be there for it......
So i have a Medal on sunday morning teeing off at 9:45 at our own course and i then have to drive to the other course for 4:45 to play in this trial to see if they can pair me up with a player so that our games will compliment each other.........
I just hope that iv not bitten off more than i can chew.:mmm:
