Well
They loved it !! They all commented on the instant feeling of being connected so that was great confirmation for me that using the aid is the right thing for me to be doing.
Another reason I was there was to meet industry professionals myself an let them know that there are disabled golfers out there too. I was fortunate enough to meet some great companies who were more than happy to join " Team Monk " and get on board with me for this season. You can check these guys out on the team monk tab on the home page.
I also managed to drink too much , lose my phone, find my phone , play some golf ( badly ) win a mini golf tournament (-7) and make some great new friends from all over the world. All in all it was an amazing experience and I'd like to thank mysp for taking me out there. I have a really good feeling about 2013 and with team monk getting stronger and larger all the time, the sky really is the limit for both my own opportunities but also for the growth of the disabled game on the whole.
I was also priveledged to meet some of the wounded US veterans who now play golf to an unbelievable standard and who approach the game with a mindset and vigour not seen outside of the military. These guys were real Heros and hopefully I will get out to Washington to visit and help these guys further.
I am now gong through a big pile of business cards of companies and individuals that have said they would like to be part of " Team Monk " so real exciting times ahead.
I've already received my new KBS C Taper shafts and the awesome G Rip A Tac grips an there is stuff on its way to me via various couriers so I will keep you updated on what I will be using this season and you can check the product themselves on team monk.
So it was back to training today and I'm pleased to say I was striking the ball nicely so I'm happy. I also tried the R1 back here after using it at the demo day on Florida and all I can say is wow !!! That puppy Is going in my bag without a doubt. It is an awesome piece of kit and the numbers are crazy long !!!
If you are near Oxfordshire , check southfields driving range, R1 in stock and 10% off !!! Get it in your bag.
I have attached some pictures below of some of the newest members of " Team Monk ".
Thanks for the support and for the faith !
2013 is going to be amazing !
Anyways.
Till next time
Monk out x
