Thought that this would be an interesting read for everyone, and since i'm fairly new here i might as well do an overdue introduction.
At the moment im 15 , so one of the younger memebers of the forum. i took up golf two years ago for fun, but only just got properly into it this summer. I played many practice rounds and had about 5 lessons just to tweak my swing a bit from bad to good. i've been told my swing is the weirdest they've ever seen. To be honest, i don't care, its going straight now so they can laugh all they want. I went into a competition, i think my second, after winning my first with good style. My handicap was 33 at that time, which i thought was unjustified. i proved it too. First hole is a par 3, and i hit a crisp 5 wood that nearly went in. First hole- Birdie
I ended up shooting 17 over overall, and obviously winning. the frustrating thing was that all the members though i never hand in cards and all that stupid mockery, but its just that i had a good month. So now my handicap is 24, yet to play another competition. Realisticly, i think i should be playing of 17-18. I thought my good form would last a week, but after a short lesson a few days ago, he said that my swing was fine, and all i need to do is play !
So, the only problem is; my personality. some may say its good, others may say its a flaw. When i play a sport , at first i play just as a hobbie. But now, as i am deep into my clubs roots, and well known around there, for me, its all about being the best. It sounds stupid, but to me, i think i could make it 8) i know its doubtful, but i think that my good spell is not good spell, as its been with me for a couple of months. as i have a lot of time from march 2012 till about september, my target next year is to get to single figures. its a long shot, but i think i could make it.
Do you think i could make pro ? stupid question, but for once, i actually believe that i can do it, which is rare for me.
Advice would be very nice.
Also, may start doing a weekly blog about this. comment on whether you'd find that a good read.
Cheers for reading.
