An eagle and five birdies. Just gotta keep working towards consistency off the tee. I haven’t quite put my finger on what’s causing the troubles with the woods. It could even have something to do with the swing weights of my clubs. The woods are a far lighter swing weight compared to the irons.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! I’m very pleased getting the win. AND, for the record, eight other players thought they’d soak up that winning feeling today too. In what was a Pro Am first, nine players shared first place. That’s right, nine! When Broc presents the club next year with the plaque displaying a photo of the previous years winners he will have to stick passport photos on it. Otherwise he’ll need some sort of panoramic picture frame.
Haha, think about… Just imagine the thoughts in a few of the winners minds when they saw the shrunken first place check from the shared prizemoney… “why did I bogey the last?!”
But none of the players would have been questioning the quality of the Murwillumbah GC layout which has some of the best greens we’ll play on all year. I managed to score an eagle, five birdies and five bogies around it. I played a few holes very well and combined that with some terrible golf shots on others.
Overall, I’ll take the first place and run 🙂

An easy course made tough by the rain, wind and rough greens. It’s one of those courses where you just have to hit your shot, focus on what you can control and avoid getting caught up in the outcome of your shots. Otherwise, “you’ll do your head in” watching the ball bounce all over the greens!!
Call it a good mental test.

I didn’t finish my round off which was really disapointing as I was playing really well. Sure the numbers haven’t been on the board lately, but for the first time this year I’m super happy where my golf game is heading. The signs are there. I’m hitting quality shots, getting into the right processes and starting to work my way round the golf course comfortably. It just hasn’t been happening out there lately but it will. No matter what, anytime soon I’m about to start playing some really good golf.
What made today so great was the amateur partners I played with and also playing with Peter Senior for the first time. I have so much respect for Pete’s game. He’s a legend here in Australia. Seeing him go about his business is just great. Sure he’s not in his prime, but the same processes are still there. The same killer instinct.
It was also a good opportunity to get the inside word on what stage the One Asia concept is at. I can tell you, there has been some very promising progress recently. There are also a few big issues that still need to be worked out, but the tour is on track for 2010.
