Its been exactly two weeks since my last update and I have played a blinder - winning this weekends stableford competition and dropping down a shot in the handicap.
Last weekends competitive golf was a washout, myself and Ed walking off the course after 6, drenched to the skin. We hadnt played too badly but the conditions were unbearable.
And so to this weekend, where myself and Ed set out for an 8:20 tee-time. I woke up firing on all cylinders, parring the 1st hole for the 1st time in competition play. I didnt capitalise until the back 9, where a par on the 18th clinched the win for me via countback, with a respectable score of 38 points. That afforded me a .8 cut which brings me to 20.8, my first handicap cut.
I was, as usual, in good company - Ed chipping in on the 12th from off the green for a birdie, after a risky shot to cut the corner paid off. He made some good putts on the back 9 and his 31 points enabled him to have a top 10 finish in his first qualifying competition as a member of Ballinascorney.
Next week is my 3rd major(Ed's 1st), the July Medal, where I hope to break 90 for the first time in 2 years and be in with a chance of getting my handicap under 20 quite soon.
