I mean, I have clubs and a membership. But you'd struggle to call what I do 'playing'.

He's very good.

I used to play once every 9 months or so, with no real guidance and (funnily enough) remained sh1te.

Joined a club at the start of the year and have started playing regularly. Usually the 6:30am tee-off once a week before work (incl. tomorrow).

Started knocking a fair chunk off my usual score bit by bit, which was encouraging.

But the more satisfying thing is getting to the point where for a few holes per round I started to string together 3 or 4 shots in a row where the contact was good and each shot ended up vaguely where I'd intended.

Hope it pisses down on all those hungry fucks who are supporting this event especially the imbeciles who paid to see it.

Looking like a much nicer day today. Great coverage and great crowds turning out.
