So I have done my crappy shift work and have got back into the 9-6(ish) groove and I’m really looking forward to the large bonus hitting the account. I’m thinking a PS3 or Wii might be on the cards. The availability of Rock Band will be the determining factor. Does anyone know anyone coming back from the US soon that has a spare 18lbs of luggage allowance?
And to top these thoroughly top things off, I played a decent game of golf on the weekend. Shot 89 to play to my handicap and achieved a minor milestone for myself. I wanted to play 3 consecutive rounds at 89 or less and have managed to do that with the 89 at Mirboo North, 88 at Growling Frog and 86 at Moonah Links Open. Yay me. Next milestone is 15 handicap.
Not only that but I also snuck into the last qualifying spot for the President’s Cup. I will be going back next week for a matchplay game. The 8 qualifiers essentially start at the quarter finals stage, so who knows, I am only 3 wins away from a major pieces of perpetual silverware at the club. Given I putted like a spastic on Saturday and still scored OK I think I am a good chance to win if I can start out better. I am taking my old faithful putter though – the newer one isn’t much chop on the slow water-logged greens at Mirboo. I much prefer a lot of speed in the greens. Pick a line and get it rolling is my preferred play without worrying about inconsistencies in the surface. The locals manage it pretty well. One of my playing partners put on a short game clinic on Saturday – made it even more satisfying to take his money.
I’m feeling unusually charged up at the moment. Perhaps it is just feeling normal again after a pretty bad virus last week.
Hope you’re doing OK.
