Club Comeptition only this weekend...


11/8/12 Saturday. The past week was not the most golf inclusive for a while. Playing the Kingston Open on Sunday was a tale of two nines in what could be termed very challenging weather conditions. Strong winds passing rain squalls were the feature on the front nine and I scrambled to a 45 off the stick and that was a good effort on the day. After lunch and feeling confident the wheels fell off my game. It was a collap[se across the board, putting chipping fairway and tee shots all compounded to return a 52 off the stick for a gross 97 on the day. A Gross 90 would have delivered a second place finish in the A Grade on the day.

It was a frustrating end to the round and it came about through lack of concentration in the main and a little physical restriction. Overall my travelling performance in the various club opens in the region have not been successful in the competitions. Yet when returning to play in my home track competitions I have been in the winners list. This weekend is the Millicent Open on Sunday and I am going to give this trip a miss. The course is one that is a challenge to play and as much as it would be great fun to make the journey, it will be a home round for me and running the competition to cover for others who are going. Taking the trip to Kingston later this morning though to test out my current form, played nine holes yesterday with the Nextt all Hybrid set and the comfort with the new set is getting established.

The following is the blurb for the Nextt Hybrid set, “This Nextt Golf Axis Overdrive Hybrid Set features a unique hollow design that allows for a much larger and effective sweet spot. The refined weight system provides a lower centre of gravity that allows the player to get the ball airborne faster and with more accuracy.The ease of swinging the clubs and the large sweet spot is especially noticeable. The clubs feel so light and so far my ball striking from the six iron to the pitching wedge has been very good. The accuracy and distance are all benefiting from the hybrid design and while away this week I spent two sessions at a driving range giving the #2 to #5 hybrids a good workout. At the minute all is on track for the coming club championship qualifying rounds which commence on the 19th of August.

Thankyou for your time and attention. “Hit ‘em straight all”

Week 8, A little weight gain...

Diet Supplements available here make an offer... http://www.quicksales.com.au/buy/auction.aspx?itemid=15243678
11/8/12 Saturday. The weigh in this morning registered the first weight gain since mid way through the first week of starting this experiment with the diet supplements. The total today is 103.2kg a gain of .7kg since last Saturday when the total was 102.5kg.
There is no concern on my part with this gain in weight. I was travelling for two days which is never good for dieting and more importantly on the past weekend I definitely let the eating run free
on Sunday. With 3 x Bacon and egg muffins and a steak sandwich plus beer during the Robe New Course breakfast and Kingston Open.
Dining out during the week and drinking wine added with not being able to get out and about to exercise to my usual level compounded the excess on Sunday. Interestingly it was also a bad week for my injury flare ups. It has been a while and that particularly limited my ability to be able to get out and just do a 2-3km walk a couple of times.
Still on target to get below 100 kg at the end of the diet supplement experiment.
I am not concerned that this is a portent that the diet supplements do not maintain the weight improvement. The onus is always on the person not the supplements. That said there is not a problem in my opinion wit the reasons for the gain as described being out of the ordinary. This weekend there will be no special dining events and the injury flare up has been treated and I am back where I can exercise freely again.

Thankyou for your time and attention, Geoff
