Six days into my VC year and finally I’m out on the course! 14 very pleasant holes with Jo and Jonathan Knight.
After having to play wearing almost every piece of golf clothing I own and after a handful of snow flurries, the sun came out as we walked off the 16th. Typical.
Actually swung, played and scored ok: 63 for 14 holes, so possibly would have been an 81.
VC Stats: 6 days, 210 balls, 1 round, 63 shots, 2 different members played with.
Another great day of drying weather: all I’m saying is that since the Gill/Smith/Hardie/Winn era got underway on Sunday the weather has been excellent…
Work interrupting golf, sadly, so a couple of baskets of balls at the range was all I could manage en route south for some Stewart Golf days with American Golf in Exeter and then Plymouth.
VC Stats: 2 days, 120 balls, 0 rounds, 0 shots.
Day one of being vice-captain but sadly for everyone there’s no 18 Hole Course open to celebrate on. That said, eight holes on the Academy Course are open, the river’s down below bank level, the pumps have been going since 4pm yesterday and there’s way more grass visible than there has been for days.
The weather forecast is also great for the next five days or so and so hopefully we’ll be back on at least a loop of the main course in a week or so.
Last night was the AGM: 120+ members there and it’s now official. And exciting. Signing-up for the Drive-In at the same time as signing-in for the AGM worked brilliantly, looks like we could be as many as 150 on the 16th.
Did get to the range though for a lesson with Jake. It’s all about the angle, apparently. Sadly, I’m far too steep.
VC Stats: 1 day, 60 balls, 0 rounds, 0 shots.
