A Tough Month

Well it's not going to plan at the moment. After my best month ever I am having my worst month. Just glad August is over. September is a big month. The club championships start this weekend. Parkwood on Sunday, South Pacific Junior Classic next Sunday, the Aaron Baddeley State Event and then it's the Katherine Hull Classic at the end of September.

No More Tips Unless You Pay

Practice went really well today. Hiting a fade in practice worked a treat. Take a look at this. Almost had a hole in one, 110 meters par three 8th at Emerald Lakes. I can't beleive it didn't fall in. Uncle Mark maybe you should get a top coach like mine, Tony Wells of the Australasian Golf Acadamy. Dad would make a good coach if you took his teeth out and put seats in.

Greg Norman

Not a good result or performance in the Greg Norman last week. I got the hooks again. Had a fantasic lesson this week though. Practicing hitting a fade. All looking good now for next week in the Noosa Springs Invincibles Tour event. Then it's the Club Champs and then the Katherine Hull Classic. September is a big month.

Round 3

What a disaster, I was going lower than yesterday or 12 holes then a 9 on a par 4 and a 7 0n another par 4. Still managed 5 over hcp but no prize this year. Still it was a good experience and I'll be back next year.

Round 2

Much better today after being the last to leave the driving range last night. Didn't drive great early but it came good. Birdie on the first helped. Greens had been measured at 12 on the stimp meter so putting was fun. Made some good ones. Need a good round tomorrow for a chance othe net. Lat but one to leave the range again so lets hope the work pays off.
