Having only played Majors since Ed's win on the 5th, my rise up the Golfer of the Year standings continued - with an 8th place finish in the Vice Presidents and a 3rd in yesterdays August Medal.
Elements of my game are starting to click a bit better - in yesterdays round I only had 1 score higher than a 6 and in strokeplay that is imperative. I had 8 pars and even still know I missed a number of makeable putts - something that I want to get to work on immediately - I am going to try a new putter and see how I fair. I also had the usual rush of blood to the head, sticking 2 out of bounds(or so I though) on the 6th, only to find some intervention by the woodlands had kept my first in play. Capitalise I did not, reaching the green for a 6 foot par putt which turned into a 6.
But it was also the first time that I broke 90 - an 89 meant I have improved my game by 10 strokes sinces my first competitive round back in early June. I can see the areas that need to improve(my drive and my putting are my main points) but can also see what has improved(my ball striking and short game)
Only one major left in next weekends September Medal but with 5 more qualifying competitions I can stabilise my position in the top 3 or 4 golfers at the club this year.
