And they're off!
Our club's 1st competition of the year on Saturday. Great day, nice testing breeze, first chance in 2006 to test my skills against the course over 18 holes. It was a stableford competition (good job!) and I didn't have the best start to the round, only acquiring 3 points after 4 holes, including a mystery lost ball on the 4th.
Anyway I then went BIRDIE BOGEY BIRDIE DOUBLE BIRDIE PAR BIRDIE. 4 birds in 7 holes!!! I had a 3 jack and an unplayable in that little run or it would have been better. The most frustrating thing was after that, I had 5 straight chances within 12 ft to accumulate more birds, but the putter turned to ice.
I finished with a roller coaster 35 points (finishing with 2 bogies!) but I guess all things considered I'm happy given that I had 14 points in 4 holes!
Some conclusions:
Bring on 2006.

Some conclusions:
- The Scotty blew hot and cold, but hell, I made some putts today, which was a great feeling! When you strike it right it feels great!
- The Ping G2 is not for me. Although I cracked a few, its just Head Jam stuff. I'll stick with the 983K
- The Mac G 675s were spanking today!
- I hit some cracking wedges today, low and controlled, right up to the stick. I am sticking with my strategy of practising within 100 yards this season. It's gonna be interesting!
Bring on 2006.
