TG Blog: One year up and it's final challenge time

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. It is 361 days since I played my first round of golf, 353 days since I set myself this challenge and it's time for the test... after one year ...

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. Happily, the occasion was the medal competition at my club, Mount Pleasant, and a net score of 62 saw me win the competition. The fact ...

TG Blog: Confidence comes and confidence goes

David West, 19 August 2011 16:44

Friday 19th August 2011 I had a catch up session with James last week where he wanted to assess how capable I was of playing different types of shots. I stood with a ball at my feet and a 6-iron in my hand and waited for an instruction... "High draw" said James. After a couple of swings to get the ...

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: Get a grip

David West, 27 May 2011 09:56

Friday 27th May 2011 I had my first golf lesson more than eight months ago now. The entire lesson was spent on the less-than-exciting topic of 'how to grip a golf club'. This week I've had to do it all over again. Over and over again. I'd been very happy with my golf recently; I was hitting longer than ever ...

TG Blog: Getting my handicap down

David West, 01 April 2011 09:27

Friday 1st April When I decided upon this challenge I had in mind that there would be distinct stages in my progress. Phase one was 'novice' (the part before I played golf), then 'beginner' (learning how to play golf) and phase three would start when I achieved an official handicap. I could have applied for a handicap earlier in my progress ...

TG Blog: Dancing hips

David West, 21 January 2011 14:28

Friday 21st January "The calendar flicks another page and shows me that I am now in the fifth month of my challenge. Over the past two weeks I have only played one 'real' round of golf and one quick 18 to test my swing. The rest of the time it has been practice, practice, practice. "We are on phase three of ...
