No way for me tomorrow, too many changes to my swing.

Just looking forward to getting out playing and not practicing

Funny sounds very similar to what Tiger says before he shoots the lights out

Only lights I’ll shoot out is if I hit a car in the car park and that’s quite possible. !!!

Many thanks for organising another course that i feel doesn't get enough credit, not the hardest off the tee but some very tricky greens that you definitely need to approach from the correct angle. Played it 5 years ago and was looking forward to going back. I think the address as Cork put some people off travelling but its not that long a spin at all as its at the very north of the county and definitely worth it. Many thanks to the company of this years Captain, a gentleman as always and an ever improving golfer. If a few more of his putts dropped then he would have been a serious contender. i haven't played a round with him for a while but have see his game is really coming together, excellent work. Also many thanks to Davo19, what a serious driver of the ball, another day and he would have had a massive score coming in.

Unfortunately some personal issues off the course meant I was heading out with an already fried head and with my new setup and swing, i was slow off the mark and the frustration hit me straight away.

Decent drive on the first only for my new shot - the "45degree right of target shot" to come into play early meant I was struggling to get the ball to the green, got there in the end and putted for a point.
Second hole, drove into trouble, took my medicine and chipped backwards onto the fairway and bang, mis-hit to the right again and under trees and couldn't get out from behind them, scratch.
Next par 3, decent strike but left and after a good few sessions of chipping practice, bladed one onto the green!! Took 3 putts to get down
Great drive on the next and guess what happened next? Yupp, off to the right and into the trees, had to chip back to fairway and took 3 to cross the river and get in the hole, another double!
Then something clicked, apologies to the lads but I took an extra bit of time over my second shots, ran through my drills i was told in my lessons and hey presto - decent golf. Played 6 of the next 7 holes in 3 over. I have to admit I lost my head on the 8th hole, frustration from the previous week and trying to play sensible golf boiled over to a moment of madness. Apologies to anyone who witnessed it.
Made a bit of a mess of the 13th, 14th and 15th but tap in bogie on 16 & par on 17 made up a bit - i missed a 3 footer for par on 16.
Absolute bombed the drive on 18 but unfortunately straight left, I even cleared the high trees, lost ball. Reckon its down on the first fairway but thankfully parred the second ball for a point.
A round of two halves, half absolute muck because of wayward second shots and half very decent with some good ball striking. Get this ironed out and hopefully can kick on from here.
