Headed out to play golf with Kev this arvo. We teed of about 2:00 @ Wattle Park playing with just the two of us we hoped to get around in a fairly rapid time, and given that the 1st and 2nd seemed clear when we started it looked like it might be a nice fast game.

But by the end of the 2nd we had caught the group ahead, and they were waiting on the group ahead of them..  So it seems it WAS going to be a slow day.. That caused us to change our play game, we decided to play a 2–ball, best ball game which slowed us down a bit, but let us get a bit more practice in.

In the end, I had a couple pars, and ended up with 45..  Not too bad, but given we were playing the 2 ball game, I would have been upset if it was much worse.

Its been a couple of weeks since the last hit with kev, so happy with the touch.. This years aim is to start hitting sub 40 consistantly.

Played the back nine of Ringwood with dad, seeing as I haven’t played the back nine before I was happy with my game… There are a fair bends left, which doesn’t work well with my slice, but found that it was better to go with a 3I up the middle, then another long iron to the green.

It took a while to get settled, seeing as its been 3 weeks since the last hit, but shot 52 which I’m pretty happy with..  Dad (playing more regularly and better) shot 42.

My short irons were super today, with the SW chipping on and near abouts with all efforts.. The putter seemd to have a good time early, even tho they had cored the greens recently.

In the latter holes the greens get more challanging, requireing better chip placemement, so there were a couple there that challenged the putting.

All in all a great round, and will be back to Ringwood soon..
