Major Champion
I was beginning to wonder whether my cup was now half empty from being half full. I won the Winter League two weeks ago with my partner, then I shot just 24 points in the "gold letter" stableford last weekend and was really down as I hit the ball ok and couldn't score.I went to a local par 70 course at Wrotham Heath today - shorter than my home course but fantastic greens - and shot 76 off 12 h/cap!
Not bad for a first vist but I worked hard at the range last night on slowing down my swing and boy did it pay dividends! I just hope that I remember to do it at the weekend! I felt like I was swinging at 70% and think that this could be a eureka moment. It didn't harm length at all - the last hole I played (9th) was a 479 yard par five and I was on with a driver and 3 wood. The only real blemish was a 5 on the 7th, a par 3
Cup now half full again!
