Well, that was a bit messy

Saturday 20th July 2024

After taking great consideration on my game,  for example working on my grip and swing path. Ensuring my grip was not too tight and that I was swinging from inside to out. Even practicing with the use of alignment sticks to help maintain the correct swing path.

I focused on my putting routine, developing a consistent pre-putt routine to help me to stay calm and focused. I even practiced lag putting to get a feel for distance control, unfortunately to no avail…..

I arrived early to warm up properly. I took deep breaths, and I visualised a successful shot. I was informed that using a solid warm up routine would help ease my nerves and build confidence.

I worked on Improving my physical fitness, particularly concentrating on my core strength and flexibility. I Worked on my swing mechanics to ensure I was generating power efficiently. I was also advised that the use of a launch monitor could provide insights into how I could optimise my launch conditions.

With all the information on board and ensuring proper weight transfer during my swing. Keeping my head steady and focus on maintaining a balanced finish I took my first pint.  It was a steady start I equalled par and for the first nine holes I hit a respectable 29.  This is when it started to get messy.  Have you ever tried to have a conversation where you are fined if you use a persons name or point at anything?  For me this was the most devasting fining system ever, no swearing easy, drink left hand only a doddle, but this had a devasting effect on my financial situation.  Plus, once I had reached hole 12 that was me gone, that with the help of friends I was able to reach hole 14, to also find that I woke up in my own bed and not being told off was also a remarkable achievement..

How did we do? Well, who was the winner with the lowest score, no idea it wasn’t me.  On our just giving page at this moment in time we made £132.  On the day with fines, we raised £120.10.  The band and donations to MND we raised £44 which if my mathematics is correct, we raised £296.10, not bad when we only going out for a beer.
