Today was the second day of the Paul Lawrie Carnoustie Challenge. I teed it up at 7.50 on a stunning morning. I managed 82 today – a slight improvement but not nearly good enough. I still played some decent shots and at least I had a birdie today!
I found it a big golf course – I guess around 7,400 yards off the Championship tees. I need to raise my game further to manage a course that length, even on a calm day. Each hole demands consistently well struck shots and a sound strategy to stand a chance of par – I have more work to do. But that’s okay. After all, this journey is about trying to improve all areas of my game and continually getting feedback on how I’m doing.
There is some great golf being played at Carnoustie by the field, with the current leader at seven under par.
We heard this morning that the second tournament in the series, the Par 3 Challenge at Aberdeen, has understandably ben postponed due to the local lockdown.
The next tournament will be with the UK Masters Pro Tour down in Leeds next week – so a few days’ practice ahead to get ready for that.
For those who are playing, have a good weekend’s golf everyone.

Hi Calum, great that you improved on yesterday’s score but I agree with you about the consistency and shot length. These two things are pretty much key to you improving your overall game. I hope I get a chance to help you improve on them before your next tournament but if not send me a face-on video to look at and we can have a chat over the phone.
Hi Calum,
I tried to leave a message, but was the worse for drink, not sure I managed it.
Just wanted to say, congratulations on making the tour, I know it was a long term goal for you. Hope it’s going okay.
Hopefully when the Covid restrictions are lifted we can come and see Biffer in action.
All the best Karl & Dorota
