04.05.11 Noboby was impressed. That goes for me too. 36 pts stableford. 6 pars, but also double and tripple bogeys. It almost felt like a round that last year would have given 25-30 pts when my hcp was going up, so I have better things in store...

11.05.11 One week later. 37 pts this time. 6 pars this time as well. Much like last time. Some good shots, but too many poor shots. But every (tiny) improvement counts...
This week.16.05.11: 38 pts. That means minus 1,2 off my hcp the last two competitions. Still a lot of bad shots, so this is just the beginning ...
Good job air ! Every step counts and brings its own lesson.
Thanks. I'm not quite sure how good a job this is. My ambitions were somewhat higher. But in all honesty: from being 5- 8 strokes over my rising hcp (like last year and the year before), I'm now starting to lower my hcp, so in that perspective I'm now 5-10 strokes better than I used to be on an average day ..
The thing that has helped me the most is probably my ability to get to the (par 4) greens in GIR or nearby by using the Hybrid on the approach shots when I can't get there with a 6 iron. The chipping and bunker shots don't scare me as much as they used to... That makes it fairly easy to get the bogey (and in some cases par)..
