HSBC Champions Event

A massive well done to Mark Love for winning the HSBC champions of 2009 event.

 Westerwood was the location with the sun splitting the trees.  The shot that made the day was his approach shot to the 9th green from about 140 yards which rolled to about 2 inches from the hole.

 Well done again mate.

36 holes

Thought it would be fun that after having a good round at springwater we would hit mansfield golf centre. Big mistake. My back is throbbing.

BRAMPTON HEATH 21/08/2010

THE CROWN GOLF SOCIETY HAD THEIR AUGUST TOURNAMENT AT BRAMPTON HEATH NORTHAMPTON 28TH AUGUST 2010.

SOMEHOW THE BAD WEATHER PREDICTED STAYED AWAY UNTIL THE VERY LAST HOLE!

A DECENT TURN OUT OF 17 MEMBERS MADE FOR THE USUAL GREAT DAY OUT WITH THE LADS PLAYING GOLF.

UNFORTUNATELY THE COURSE WAS NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITION, FAIRWAYS WERE MORE LIKE WINTER CONDITIONS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN  BETTER TO HAVE A  LOCAL RULE TO PICK & PLACE, THERE WAS HARDLY ANY GRASS?

DESPITE THIS THE COMPETITION WAS TIGHT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MIKE READ FOR 1ST PLACE, STEVE HIPWELL FOR 2ND PLACE & ROBIN COLEMAN FOR 3RD.

THE LONGEST DRIVE WENT TO MARK SWANSON, WITH NEAREST THE PIN GOING TO RICHARD FINNEY, WELL DONE TO YOU ALL!

THE NEXT COMPETITION IS ON 11TH SEPTEMBER AT STAVERTON PARK DAVENTRY.  THIS IS PRESIDENTS DAY SO PLEASE CAN WE HAVE A FULL HOUSE, THANK YOU.

RESULT BRAMPTON HEATH

Surprised

How surprised I was when I saw that my blog was Blog of the Week!

New irons have arrived, Mizuno MX100.  So far only had chance to use them on the range, but off up Shortwood Lodge tomorrow.  I did mention that I was going up there before, but never managed to get there.  Scored 111 the only time I've been, so looking to improve on that.

Looking forward to pay day now, as I need a new bag, putter and rescue club.  So much to need all at once.

Happy Golfing

LEADERBOARD 2010 UPDATED

RESULT SPRINGWATER G.C

Things are starting to improve

I'm starting to feel alot more confident out on the course now and starting to play some really good shots.  I'm improving with the driver and hitting it alot straighter.

My putting still needs some work, and this is affecting my scores.  Its taking me 3, sometimes 4 on the green, rather than 2.

New set of irons should be coming soon so that will hopefully help.  Currently playing with a second hand set, where the sweet spot isn't all that big.

Playing at Shortwood Lodge on Saturday.  Went round in 111 last time, so hoping to get under 100 at least.  Will see what happens.

2nd at JB mansfield
