You may have noticed a distinct lack of blogs lately…..there’s been a lot of competitive golf and my blog has taken second place, falling into the “I need to get round to…..” list. We all have one!
Anyhow, I’ve played five 36 hole tournaments, the Tartan Pro Tour at St Andrews and then Blairgowrie, the Masters Pro Tour at Richmond on Thames and the Tartan Pro Tour at Renaissance and also Royal Aberdeen. While my shot making and ball striking continue to improve, along with managing my way better round the courses, the scores have remained distinctly average. I did post a couple of good scores at Blairgowrie and Royal Aberdeen so I know it can be done. I figure that so long as I keep doing the right things with rigour and discipline, the scores will come.
Some disappointing news regards the Senior European Tour (now the Staysure Tour) – the Tour Qualifying School, historically held in January, will not take place again in 2022. This will be the second year that there has been no opportunity to qualify. Frustrating, as this was one of my targets. There is word of Monday Qualifying being introduced so we’ll wait and see. Just need to get ready for the Champions Tour Qualifying next year in the States I guess!
Next is the Masters Pro Tour Championship down at Saunton in Devon for the top 36 players in this year’s order of merit. That was one of my targets this year, so pleased to get in. Two great links courses that will require some decent shot making given the wind that’s forecast. Looking forward to it and I’ll let you know how we go.
All the best
