well my competition in ballinrobe came and went without any success.windswept and rain laden weather ensured that playing conditions were at their most difficult and trying to maintain concentration behind an incredibley slow fourball in these conditions proved too much for me to take.
winds on friday touched gale force at times and it was questionable wether the competition should have proceeded at all. you could bet on a otur event being postponed in similar conditions. however it was the same for everybody so i cant really use that as an excuse. infact i scored 16 points in eight of the first nine holes. it was the par three seventh that would mark the bebinning of the end for me. i lost two balls in a ferocious gale after waiting ten minutes for the group infront of us to line and line their putts again. the waiting continued for every hole until the finish and all i wanted to do was get in and warm up.
i enjoyed the day and it was good for me to play in such a competitive event. i hope to be back next year with a stronger game and a better chance of winning. i will be working hard through the winter and hopefully next year can see me do better in terms of competitions please God.
no news on the football front with the exception of Irelands abismal defeat to Cyprus yesterday and the less said about that the better.
over and out.
