Friday; The weather stayed dry and I got on the course for a 9 hole walk and hit in the Chicken Run this afternoon. Once again a surprising result a very good one at that. Playing off 8hcp. my official Hcp is 15 and the way our club Chicken run works is every time you win a chicken 2 strokes are taken off your handicap. This is a great aspect it stops the prize distribution being the same people every week. For me the other benefit is I learn to play to win with lower handicaps. Scoring 19 points in the nine holes was a sensational score for me and apart from a couple of poor chips and three putts that shaved the hole was a great round. Happy as I could be and the near misses showed the promise of being able to play even better is attainable. There was one particular aspect which made me play so well. The past week has been the culmination of increasing exerciser routines with the strand pulling equipment. I am now at 100 minimum per day not a lot in a days events but it has given me the perfect strengthening to play consistent shots regularly. This removes the small error which create miss hit slices, fades, fat and thin due to tiring in a round. Golf is about the technique, equipment, skill and capability. The action is very unusual and to build up your own stamina and strength specifically for playing golf does not require football level pre season and mid season training. This is not the first time I have referred to this aspect of golf preparation. Several months ago there was no way I could do 15 repetitions of exercises up to 100, today after months of commitment I reaped the reward. Hit the Ball ,Find the ball, Hit the ball.
