Proudest Acheivement 2010

Just getting back playing after serious knee trouble spanning best part of 5 yrs the high for me. a semblance of my long game remains, putting stroke still good, short game the rust is slowly coming off
 
I have to make do with more modest things,

the eagle at Ascot,
my first ever (and probably only) 300+ drive,
that bunker shot,
knicking a nearest the pin off smiffy,
 
Getting to single figures and staying there, I made it to single figures for a week last season.

I was so gutted it only lasted for 1 week that I ended up trying too hard to get it back down and it crept back up to 11 for the start of his year.
 
A 2 over 39 on the front nine of my home course. The first time I beat 40 on the front 9 after the course was remodelled 9 years ago.
 
Getting my handicap down 3 shots from 8 to 5.
Winning my first competition since I was a kid.
Playing to par for the first time.
Helping out the clubs scratch team.
 
Not many things that would classify as highlights for most on here. But breaking 100 and my first birdie were two stand out moments for me. 30 points from 12 holes in a major stableford comp was a highlight let down by the six blobs that went with it :(

That said having been forced to give up football (and pretty much every other sport) I'm just happy that I have found a sport that I love as much even if it is bloody hard! Roll on 2011!!!
 
Getting cut 5 shots and although it's still fairly high, i do believe a 5 shot cut at any handicap level is still a good acheivement.

That said my target was a 7 shot cut and in hindsight i think i was a bit too much to expect.

Hopefully another 4 yearly cut of 5 shots per year and i'll be off scratch :D :D :D
