It will be April/May before I play my first tournament, those bloody fairway mats in Enniscrone are a pain, I refuse to use them.

It's going to be the same for a lot of people. Will be April myself I reckon. I will be expecting a flurry of updates as soon as we get under way lol

I can only hope, if I can keep my shoulder healthy I think I have a good shot at making it to single figures this year.

While we're waiting for courses to open up, if you fancy a bit of nostalgia, the thread from 2 years ago

Finally I think i'll be playing more regularly this year after a barren few years of not playing much. GUI's home card rules forced my hand as I was relying on distance membership and open competitions/scratch cups so i'll be back to regular club golf again. Might be a blessing for my golf but lets wait and see.

what an unrealistic comment. You're spending far too much time posting with FixDePitchmark.

Don't pressure yourself and don't update after every single comp, that'll only bring it's own form of negative energy. An update once a month is more than enough

New target Rikand.

I'm like Sergio - can't do it with pressure on.
