TG Blog: The challenge comes to an end

David West, 29 September 2011 15:43

Thursday 29 September It's now been 369 days since I first played golf. I've played on 44 golf courses, playing 130 rounds of 18 holes and 80 rounds of 9 holes. I've taken 16,473 strokes at an average of 5.4 strokes per hole. This does not include all the time I have spent practising. At the end of the year ...

David West, 16 September 2011 09:33

Friday 16th September 2011 That's it, the year is up. There is no more time to practice. It's now time to see how far I've come. Next week is challenge week.

TG Blog: Breaking into the 70s

David West, 02 September 2011 12:51

Friday 2nd September I'm into the final month of my challenge. In three weeks time it will all be over. And things are heating up. Two weekends ago I shot 80 for the first time.

TG Blog: "I'm not going to make it"

David West, 25 July 2011 11:11

Friday 22 July I'm not going to make it. I'm not going to be a scratch golfer. There, I said it. When I'm playing well and I'm 'in the zone' I believe I can do it. People I play with say I hit the golf shots of a scratch golfer – and I believe I do. But when the pressure ...

TG Blog: 10 weeks to go

David West, 08 July 2011 17:35

Friday 8th July Back in March, six months after my first ever round of golf, I submitted cards from three consecutive rounds in order to gain an official handicap. At the time my target was to achieve a handicap of lower than 15., but my three rounds were only good enough for an 18 handicap. Nearly four months have passed ...

TG Blog: Becoming my own analytical caddie

David West, 24 June 2011 13:42

Friday 24th June There are three months to go and the pressure is on. After nine months of hard work it feels like the crunch is coming and I need something to show for it. This, of course, only adds to the pressure. Each time I go out I think, 'this is the day when it all comes together', and yet ...
