Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Just thought I would post this, Because it shocked me when I saw this picture. The golf shaft shown is the Fubuki Alpha Tour, With and X flex Shaft. My swing speed with a driver averages at 119mph!, but I would of thought that this particular shaft would beable to handle these speeds!!
Having not practiced alot this week, I decided to put my name down for the weekly competition, to try and regain some form again under pressure. I turned up on the Saturday morning an hour before my 11am start abit aprehensive, about how im going to tackle the course. I hit some balls to warm up, and as I predicted the balls wernt travilling in the direction, I was intending. That made me very weary to tee it up in the competition, with my handicap on the line. However I forgot all about the negative thoughts and just tried to use my skill and experience to get the ball around the course. So i set out to just play very safe and easy, well within myself. Much to my amase I turned in level and the back half -2. Hitting 17 greens in regulation. It was the most consistant performance of my golfing career with my 2 bogeys coming from a 3 putt, and a very tough par 4. I was very pleased as its the first time I have ever gone back to back under par. 🙂
Saturday Morning. I teed it up early at 8.00am at Rockliffe Hall. For the weekly club competiton. Having recently hitting some form, I was quitley confident about playing this round of golf. As imagined I was hitting the ball in the right spots on the golf, course hitting 15 greens in regulation. Which I would class as a good course management round. I made 4 birdies on the round, and making a 2 on a par 3 which got me 15 pounds. Unfortunatly I had 3 bogeys on the round to add. However I feel it was a solid round on the course. Firing a -1 under par 71. Which was the lowest gross of the day. 
I have just returned to the UK, having spend the last 4 weeks playing golf in Barcalona. The magnifcent Bon Mont course played host for my winter golf training, setting a true test of my shot making with storming winds and blisteringly fast greens.
My focus now, must be to obtain a position at an American college to further my education and extend my knowledge and understanding of the game of golf and experience some of the finest coaching in the world.
I cant wait for the English golf season to start, so that I can acheive a plus handicap.
It’s that time in my career when I must find the right USA College golf scholarship. My golf is on target my studies are – err well, lets say, getting better but I need a USA College Golf team. Any USA college golf coaches reading this please get in touch. This is me playing in the Champion of Champions Competition at the wonderful Rockliffe Hall Golf course. OK it’s not Sky Sports filming, it’s just an iphone but ‘every journey starts with the first step’ as they say. Stop by my blog www.jacksonkneeshaw.com and say hi.
p.s. have you heard the new Cee Lo Green track – F@*K You  – it is brilliant!!! 5***** magic, a hole in one.
Rockliffe Hall played host to this years Champion of Champions and wow did they get it right. Sponsored by the Journal Newspapers, they setting was perfect, I was announced to the tee at 8.20am one of 99 club champions. Feeling 100%, I new I could beat the course having played on Saturday and shot a par72 playing very average. Starting with three easy pars I then proceeded to leak shots from my trusty putter, driving was long and straight, long irons on the green but no way was that ball going in the hole. This culminated on the 17th, Rockliffe had cleverly moved the competition tee to a short par 4 at 345yds, get this I drove the green ran past the flag and settled against the fringe no more than 15 ft from the pin – there for one. Guess what, I three stabbed it! the first put lipped the hole, rolled off 18 inches away and yes I missed it, one of three puts I missed inside two feet, unbelievable! but true. No birdies in a round when I should have had five, puts missed on every hole when that is my best asset, yet I still loved every minuet, it was my last day before returning to college and I was going to enjoy it and I did. I presume the Journal paid for my Sunday roast which was beautifully presented and tasted first class – thank you The Journal Newspaper. Oh my score – did I forget to mention that, not great, but I was there and that’s what counts. Rockliffe Hall Golf is first class – If you play golf you simply must play Rockliffe Hall.
The beautiful Rockliffe Park Course tested the longest hitters with the Gold Cup. With 260 carries just to reach the fairway and 250 yard par 3’s the nearly 8,000 yards of luxury played tough in a strong easterly wind. The longest hole required three full blasts to reach the green, great golf, stunning setting and greens to envy, that’s Rockliffe Park. Two over after nine and I’m thinking this is in the bag. Two over did win the Gold Cup but sadly it was not me, I faded on the last three and probably the easiest holes to finish with a @x0$. Looking forward to Rockliffe hosting the Champion of Champions competition next Sunday sponsored by The Journal Newspaper. The strong field will be tough to beat but I am feeling like a champion and ready to post a low score.

Hi, This is me showing off the latest swing. After my first year spent at ‘The Golf College’ with Dennis Pugh, I feel ready to see my scores fall. A First place at the Houghton-le-Spring Junior Open with a 71 followed by a First place best gross at the Brancpeth Junioe Open with a 68 and a win at Rockliffe Park at the weekend with a level par 72 show that the swing is starting to pay dividends.
P.S. if you are wondering who the guy in the Middlesbrough kit behind me is – that’s my younger brother Wilson who signed for the Boro at the start of this season. Good Luck to him.
On the Wednesday of last week I was fortunate enough to play in the North of England boys amateur championship at Brass Castle golf club, in middelsbrough. It was a really good event with lots of really good players. Even though i didnt make the cut, I enjoyed the event, it was the most organised event I have ever played in, we had spotters for wayward tee shots and pristine greens, with rapid pace. I would like to thank Ian Jackson, for gettinghe me into the event as the last reserve, and congratulations to the winner. See you next year!
