Scratch 4 Forty

A new addiction in a sport I left behind over 15 years ago.
Having toyed with the game of golf in my teens and once more in my early 20’s, I realised that I did not have the time or money to truly enjoy the game.
Roll on 2021 and my 36th year on this big blue ball, I decided to give it a go again.
Partially because I usually choose sports that result in injury and also because my dad has finally retired, it felt like a good time to find a sport that wouldn’t risk my working life through injury, while also being able to spend more time with my dad and brother.

My obsessive personality kicked in!!
I got my first HCP of around 17 in early 2021.
I realised just how many bad habits I had retained.
I got lessons.
I got fitted for clubs.
I grafted for a year.

Where I am right now.
WHS index of 12.1
Shoot anywhere from 80 - a million around Burnley GC.
Played 72holes in a day for Prostate cancer.

And now I’m setting stupid goals like getting to scratch before my 40th birthday 😂
