Still 95kg, cycled, ran & weights last week. May give up on the weight issue, as I feel fitter, am looking trimmer, but not shifting any weight. Been eating extremely healthy the last 2 weeks as well! <br />

You can only do what you can do!<br />
<br />
I havent weighed myself for 2 weeks, still want to drop a few more kg's but dont want to start obsessing about it, thats for chicks to do!<br />
<br />
Anymore golfing tourny's coming up TR? -
A few coming up around Northland, but am not hugely interested in contesting too many this season, given my inconsistant play at present. <br />
<br />
Is one more that I will play in September, only a 54 hole tournament though. Other than that, just club champs. <br />
<br />
Man am I feeling it today, amazing how much golf takes out of you!! Mind you, I havent played 72 holes in a weekend since I was 22, so maybe something in that... :nta -
I'm always better in the 19th Hole unfortunately! Something of a hacker all though I am improving ever so slightly! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

But this was the 'real' 19th, not that mythical drinking hole! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Mate, if I could only stop hittng 'curve balls' off the tee I'd be on my way to a half decent score and wouldn't be so worried about having that beer at the 'mythical drinking hole'. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

OK, played today, played pretty well, well tee to green, from there it went pear shaped!! <br />

Hit 11/18 greens, 8 of the 1st 11 holes, and couldnt get anything to drop; next week am gonna probably not play but spend a few hours on the practice fairway with my wedges in hand! So often I hit a great tee shot (or 2nd on par 5) only to blow a birdie chance by a poor chip or 50 yard wedge shot, instead of hitting to 2 or 3 feet I am leaving myself with a 10-15ft putt...<br />
<br />
My handicap has moved out to a 6 now... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
After about 40mins practice yesterday, I remembered that standing on a practice fairway hitting ball after ball sucks! So I decided I had just as well play and work on a few things out there...<br />
<br />
Horrific start to my round, 4 over after 2, 6 over after 7, finished 7 over. Once I put my driver away, I was fine! <br />

<br />
Changed something in my stance and all of a sudden I was firing wedge shots at the pin, hit 9 of the last 10 greens, my putting let me down as I failed to convert any, even the 2 foot ones... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />
<br />
The 1 green I missed was a par 5, my 3rd from 125m (front of green) hit a wedge and must have got it so good as I flew it OOB 15m out the back of the green...
<br />
<br />
Positive is that my wedge game may be on its way to returning!! -

Well had my first hit for a fair few weeks, what with al the rain, a burnt hand...<br />
<br />
Anywhoo...<br />
<br />
Started off with a 7 on a par 4 after splitting the fairway with a 260m 3 wood, 2nd shot, somewhere in the trees out the back of the green, never to be seen again, brand new ball, hit 2 times... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/angry.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />Â :2funny: now....<br />

I really think I need to go out and hit 50 golf balls before I tee off, because it seems to be about then that I start playing ok...
<br />
<br />
Actually hit the ball pretty well, a few fairways missed by inches, hit 8 of the last 10 greens, but missed a few early putts for birdie and from there, nothing seemed to wanna drop! <br />
<br />
Although I had 35 putts, I actually putted pretty good, 2 3 putts and a whole heap of 2 putts, a couple form extreme long range; have a new puttter which I am happy with. <br />
<br />
Also a bit of bad luck, ball bouncing left instead of right on one hole meant I got a 5 instead of 3, bad bounce putting me out of bounds...but then when you start poorly, luck just aint ever gonna fall your way...<br />

Thought it was about time I updated this....<br />

After having a period from July through to late September of absolute shite golf (handicap went out 4 shots) things have started to get back to normal, although having played in a few tournaments recently, playing off a 9 handicap is absolutely wonderful (especially in a 4 round matchplay one where I was getting shots - lost on 2nd last hole of the final) my prize cupboard is getting fed!! <br />

After a horror start yesterday (being 5 over after 5 holes) managed to claw my way back to 3 over with 5 to go, only to blow 3 birdie chances in a row and turn them into bogies!! Holed 2 big putts for birdies, but missed 4 putts inside 7ft for birdies too in my best putting effort in months (29) yesterday. -
