Start the year as you mean to go on?

Happy New Year peoples!

The weather was lovely this past Saturday and the course was in pretty good condition too! Word must have got around because we had a very healthy turnout for the January Stableford with more than 90 blokes turning out to enjoy the dry, warm (at least 10deg) and bright conditions.

I had a weird game, my full shots left quite a bit to be desired. My chipping saved the day for me and I felt really comfortable with quite a range of shots around the green. I had one of those days where I could see the shot I wanted in my mind and was also able to pull them out of the bag (pretty much).

I ended up with a very healthy 37 points (round in 88) and finished in 16th place. That leaves me with no change to my handicap which remains at 20.2 for me to have a good crack at this Saturday's comp.

The weather is looking decidedly PANTS for Friday and Saturday and I won't be overly surprised if the comp is called off. I hope we are able to play though, I want to try out my new toy!!

I won an auction on Ebay for a Mizuno MP650 3-wood which now proudly sits in my bag between the driver and hybrid-3. There isn't a single mark on the 3-wood and I think I got myself a super bargain at £55.00 plus p+p. I hope it isn't a fake, looking forward to seeing if I can hit the ball with it.

I hope the weather is kind to you all and your local course is drying out. All the best for 2013!!
