History repeating itself? In score

I was chuckling when I read my sep 2013 post and I read about my struggles off the drive. We'll the good news is that I have improved so much on my 2nd shots now and off the tee is where I'm still struggling.

But with a new driver in tow, I'm trying to get as much distance off the tee so that my 2nd shots would be closer to the pin. Hence a more precise shot leading to a possible birdie 1 putt attempt.

2014 Golf Journey

Here's a quick update so far:

4Q - limited golf due to inclement weather. But played here and there with friends. Bough 2nd hand Titliest rescue to spruce up my 2nd shot. Also bought 3 iron Tourstage to vary my approach shots.

1Q - I signed up with 3 months membership. Shooting low 90s on white tee and mid to high 90s in blue tee. Bought 2nd hand 2 IRON DAIWA from a pro shop. Again to spruce up my approach shot. Experimenting with different approach shots to find out whats suited for me and my swing (rescue, wood or long irons).

2Q - signed up another 3 months with a friend. Wife is pregnant with kid #3. Life changer! Continued with the June to September Daiman membership entitlement by playing almost every saturday.

3Q - bought a new 3 rescue woods. Callaway X Hot.

4Q - recruitment overdrive. Played in the short part 3 course to aid beginners in their new

.. Just came off the woods....

Yep, thats the best way to describe it. And I lost 2 strokes I guess. But hey, this is life.

Since the last 9 months, I've hit strokes and made progress.

Now I'm back to the fairway, thank GOD!
