Firstly, 2010 was my most successful, having won The Lomond Cup at The Vale of Leven Golf Club which is the Wednesday medal competition. I also managed to get to the final of our clubs 4 ball competition, losing at the last hole was a difficult pill to swallow. Another highlight was travelling across Glasgow to Eastwood Golf Club with my wife Sheila, where we took part in the Eastwood Mixed Open and won the trophy by 8 shots, shooting a nett 60.
My handicap started at 16.4 and went up to 16.6 after two poor medals, but by the end of the season, I was down to 11.6 having had a fantastic run of rounds, which saw my handicap get cut 7 competitions in a row, culminating with a scratch 74 which is my lowest ever score in a competition, to win The Lomond Cup for the first time.
This coming year, I would like to try to get my handicap down to single figures, even if it is for 1 week only. I would also like to play well in the club competitions again and also have a few enjoyable trips to other clubs for mixed competitions with Sheila.
