Sunday 17th January

I've been busy preparing for my first big tournament, the Lake Macquarie International Amateur Championship which starts on Thursday. I have been spending the past 4 weeks practicing about 8 hours per day and the skills are starting to show through, although my scores have not reflected the improvement yet - still only averaging around the mid 70's.

Heading off to Norfolk Island from 15th - 22nd February for my next golf tournament which is an age event - I'll be playing in the 40-54yo division and I expect to go quite well.
