September 17th Cometh!!!!!

The next challenge is almost upon us!!!!
I understand that Dick on a recent visit to Doncaster has been seeking out information about his playing partner?
Well the news is that Steve has not really played much this year. Steve's form is patchy.
Colin Montgomery will definately not be including Steve in this years Ryder Cup.
I am sure all will be good on the day.

If Steve's form is patchy what about Graham?
Since becoming a member of Forest Park Graham has upped his game. At a recent works tournament he hit a score just under the 100. FANTASTIC.
Unfortunately when playing with Steve a few days later he hit just a bit over the hundred!!!!!!!!!

Should be a good day on the 17th.
Looking forward to the evening as well seeing as Doncaster play Leeds at the Keepmoat Stadium.

See you soon.

Nip and Tuck All The Way!!!!!!!

It did not look good as the Yorkshire boys headed across the Pennines for the latest SaleMoor4Golf challenge.

Heavy rain was falling. The prospect of 18 holes in the rain was not a thought that any of us relished.

Surprise, surprise the rain stopped just as the Yorkshire boys were cleared by Lancashire customs.

Although still a little cold it was dry when SteveT hit the first drive of the day.

The match was like being in the prescence of a good plastic surgeon 'Nip and Tuck' with the first breakthrough coming at the 9th. Graham nad Tony taking a one shot lead.

The brothers held the lead until the around the 13th hole when DickB and SteveT pulled a hole back.

The brothers took the lead once again at the 17th and it looked like it was all over especially as SteveT was now building sand castles moving from one bunker to another.

One last twist. On the 18th DickB, we now call him 'DICKIBIRDIEBROWNE' holed a fantastic putt to half the match.

A big decision was made to play some extra holes.
After 20 holes it was still all square.

What a day.

Follow the link below to see some putts that are almost as good as 'DICKIBIRDIEBROWNES' on the 18th.

Sometimes you just wonder!!!!!!

I have been developing my mental skills as we prepare for our next golf challenge on April the 19th.

Recently I was on a weekend course with a number of coaches.
We were given a task to complete and after talking things through an idea developed. The result was we ended up talking through holes.

It was great fun.............................................................

Here comes the picture!!!!!!

I have also included a link to an interview with Jose ( I am not sure how you get that little thing over e) after Inter beat Chelsea. A very reflective Jose but in my view a great coach, master planner and tactician.

I wonder if he has a view on how to beat the brothers????
