Southampton to St Andrews…


It’s been a couple of busy weeks with a Masters Pro event down near Southampton and then the Paul Lawrie Tartan Pro event at St Andrews last week….and in between Sandy’s Pro’s Day at Ladybank…..a much more relaxed affair!  

Competition wise, still no scoring like I’m looking for and to be honest a bit of me wondering if it’s ever going to happen. However, golf being the very personal game it is, there are also many positives from the four rounds to build on as my apprenticeship continues.  A good session with Coach Pete on Thursday helped to check a few things out and get ready for this week. I’m sure many of you will have experienced the roller coaster of emotions that go along with the great game. 

Speaking of which, what about the Ryder Cup…..not the result Team Europe wanted but when all’s said and done the American team played some tremendous golf and, as far as I could tell, deserved to win this time.  I think with such a young, talented and battle hardened US team, the next few will be tough for the Europeans.  One thing I noticed with the coverage was that the many less-than-perfect shots reminded us that golf is difficult and is not a game of perfect.

So next for me is the Paul Lawrie Tartan Pro event at Blairgowrie over Lansdowne and Rosemount Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  I’ve played both before so excited to tee it up this morning.

As always I’ll let you know how I go.
All the best

  1. Hi Calum, yes the US were outstanding and SO consistent compared to us. Onwards and upwards to Rome and maybe some new blood in the team?
    Sounds like you just have to hang in there and hopefully you start to get some good results. Good luck in your tournies 👍
