Breaking 100 would be a good start;)
It has been a good few weeks with plenty of golf. My game is improving, but it’s getting clear that I need to apply some kind of strategy if I want to break 80 in a year. Some days I play quite well, but then there are days like yesterday.
I played Evje Golfpark with my friend Håvard, who is seriously hooked on golf. Evje is his home course and he was the perfect guide. When he suggested we should play for money I was more than willing as I was convinced my game would be super hot after a good warm-up on the range and practice green.
We started on the back-nine and and with a triple bogey on the first hole was I wasn’t off to the start I was hoping for. It took me a good five holes until I shot a par. The start was not the best but the worst was yet to come. On the 18th I actually managed to score 10! I don’t know if there is a name for such a score, but it was painful. I shot three balls out of bounds before hitting the fairway. Final score: 103! Merde! (Click for Scorecard).
Most people say one should practice the short game the most, but I don’t know. If you can’t make it off the tee, the short game won’t save the day. I guess I should spend my money on lessons rather than giving it away to friends. Needless to say Håvard had the most cash in his pockets by the end of the round. Read more…
