Good job air ! Every step counts and brings its own lesson.

Thanks. I'm not quite sure how good a job this is. My ambitions were somewhat higher. But in all honesty: from being 5- 8 strokes over my rising hcp (like last year and the year before), I'm now starting to lower my hcp, so in that perspective I'm now 5-10 strokes better than I used to be on an average day ..

The thing that has helped me the most is probably my ability to get to the (par 4) greens in GIR or nearby by using the Hybrid on the approach shots when I can't get there with a 6 iron. The chipping and bunker shots don't scare me as much as they used to... That makes it fairly easy to get the bogey (and in some cases par)..
