I am by my own admission the modern day Grinch, Its a fantastic time for the kids I love watching there faces opening presents but that's about the extent of my Christmas enjoyment therefore its plenty of Golf.
If they say a week is a long time in footy terms its a frigging eternity in golf!
Thursday- Links lady bay Just a practise round with my step dad (He is off 34) so be basically gets 2 shots every hole and I only get the 14 hardest down there, anyway I hit them very well, I didn't putt all that well but finished with 31 points and was pretty happy with that.
Friday- Links lady bay again
Again just a practice round but played with my step dad again but this time also the neighbours both very good golfers (7 and 11) my all round game was really good, Drove the ball well, Mid/Low irons were fantastic and the short game was around the mark, scored on every hole for 38 points very happy leading in to the Saturday comp.
Saturday- Links Lady Bay Stableford.
Wow I was disgustingly bad, 1st Tee nailed a drive down the middle, 9iron up to the front of the green up and down for 2 points, yep I'm thinking nice start, then well I was 9 points after 9 holes!

Had a good think about things told myself slow everything down and reset, sure enough on the 10th nailed a drive up the right hand side 7 Iron on the front tear of the green, 2 putts bang 4 for 3 I'm back. It turns out I wasn't, and came in with 13 points for 22 points

Sunday- Links Lady Bay
Just played a quick 9 to assure myself yesterday was a one off, it wasn't 9 holes 12 points Clubs are nearly on Gumtree.
Monday- Murray Bridge Stableford comp
One last game before they go on Gumtree and it turns out I'm keeping my clubs

I had to play off 11 due to the slope rating but played really well. I scrubbed 1 par 3 (6th I think) where I hit in a deep bunker but apart from that went very well I was really happy 39 points including a birdie 3 on the second toughest hole (16th) I played in a group with a bloke off 17 he scrubbed the first and the 16th and finished with 42 points
