Played my best golf of the year so far shooting -7 to win the Pro Am in aid of Had great fun in the team event with the guys finishing 2nd!

Positives - drove it to the correct areas to get at pins. Good distance iron control. Patient when out of position. Short game coming on..

Negatives - still feel putting could be better but starting to hole a few. Didn’t eat enough to fuel the body in the way round.

Equipment - no changes yet…. But getting much closer. 😮🤔
Clothes - as always.

Some sloppy bogies cost me dearly yesterday at the 40th year anniversary Pro Am. A well presented course with great undulating greens which you have to know. Nice to feature agin in the big prizes!

Thanks to for all the hard work in getting the event up and running.

Positives - more birdies than bogies. Played the par 5’s well.

Negatives - lacked freedom in the swing (mental again😡) Short game rusty. Struggled with pace of the greens.

Equipment all the same but watch this space 👀👀

Well done to & all the team winners 🏆🏆

2nd Pro Am this season at the wonderful

Course/weather/food/company were second to none…. And that’s where I finished =2nd

Positives - drove the ball ok, loads of chances. Felt strong and fit during the day. Hit loads of GIR

Negatives - missed from 4 feet on the last & 3 putted the 1st 🙄 I’ll put that down to the slower greens.

Positives - another good day on course . Under par. Better mentally, stepped off a few shots until comfortable.
