Did anyone hit a ball before 8:05am on 1st Jan?

I have the honour at my home club!

Did not manage to play new years day, but Ive just got in from playing a round and considering the playing conditions i managed to hit my handicap, and really should have scored a few more points as i was striking the ball really well. But i really enjoyed it as it was the first time i had hit a ball for a month and it was great to finally play a game, what seems like ages....!!!!!

Played in a comp today & shot a gross 80 which inlcuded a 6 on a par 3 & a double bogey. Was hitting the ball sweet & I wasn't even thinking about my swing.

Hope this is the start of 2011 good times?

so far this year i have played twice and shot in the high 90's twice!!!  Which is an absolute shambles considering i usually score in the low 80's. Hopefully this isnt a sign of things to come this year.

You must have hidden those rounds, then, Adam as 86  is the lowest you have posted in your stats.

I cannot beat 8:05 on Jan 1st but I can beat the Gtour staffers LOL. Played today with the Essex boys at Belfairs GC and whooped their collective rears.

No I can't beat 08:05 either David but I was on the first tee about 9:20 new years day.  Didn't play great but was nice to get out for the first time in a couple of months.  Certainly helped clear the cobwebs from a few drinks the night before.

Hope its not a sign of the year ahead.
