Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
As you may, or may not know i have recently been on a months trip over to the North of Spain, near Barcelona, I went to beat the bad weather in England and get out for a months golf with my college. I will be posting a diary very soon of the trips events and what happened everyday.
Today there was a matchplay order of merit, which I was paired up with post graduate Charlie Guest. Who plays off a handicap of 3 (i think). I was A/S after nine hole and about to play the 10th when the game got called off due to horendous weather. Which was a little unfortunate because we werent playing badly.
Today i played in an order of merit, Against Connor Brochurst. It was a good match in horendous conditions with thunder at one point!, however i pulled through for a 5 in 4 victory! after a steady par down 14. Yesterday I had a lesson with Dennis Pugh which was enlightening, with new swing keys to think about. Which helped me pull through todays round. All in all a good day. 🙂
Today was a order of merit competition, which I played consistantly to shoot a 70 +2, Could have been better when standing on the 16th tee i was 1 under par, nevertheless I should get cut for todays performance, which is always a positive.
As the first half of the term came to an end 2 weeks ago. I commence with the next half, I feel asthough I’m swinging it the best i have ever swung the club, and a busy week i have ahead of me. Tomorrow I have a lecture with mental coach Pete Cohen, which should be interesting and then the very next day I have a Order of Merit competition which i fancy my chances at.
Today was a pretty unsuccessful day with the competition. I did what Pete Cohen said and go out with no expectation and take it one shot at a time, however everyshot i played was up to scratch
Today was a very challenging match. I was 1 up all the was until the 18th, and would win if i could only 2 putt from 60ft. However I 3 putted and I went down the 1st play off hole and lost. On another day I could have been 5 up if more putts dropped for me, however taking the positives I hit the ball aswome and the swin changes are veryvery promising.
Tomorrow we will have a new format for the OOM. The format for this week is match-play. Im playing someone called Ran Bhoval, who plays off 2 I think. I do fancy my chances of winning but never the less I will have to play very well to be in with a chance.
I am all set for tomorrows Order of Merit event, I have my new swing changes to work on but nothing to drastic. I feel confident with how things will turn out tomorrow my target is a 70, +2.
Tomorrow I start a new week a college, I dont know what this new week has to offer but what i do knowis that we start the gym and school work next week, and on Tuesday their is another Order of merit.
