So today was set aside for two lots of training, this morning I went to Bicester golf and country club an hit the putting green with a dozen balls, my Dave Hicks flat stick and a determination to get this long putting cracked :-). I started at about 5ft and just hit a few putts to get a feel for the pace before moving to 10-15-20 ft and repeating the same exercise. I then moved to putting downhill and right-left and left-right breakers all from the same distance increments. I must admit, I'm still amazed how good this putter feels in my hands. The long putts that use to scare me are now not quite so intimidating as they once were. The feel an roll off the putter face is awesome and the distance control is so much better it's like someone putting for me. I'm not saying that I now hole everything from everywhere but I am certainly making the second putt a lot easier for myself than I was before on the long Putts and quite a few more of the shorter distance ( 10-15 ft ) are dropping than they were before :-). Dave truly has worked a little miracle with that part of my game.
So as you can imagine, I was in a reasonably happy mood when I left the course as my putting was not bad at all and I was looking forward to going to southfields range this afternoon for some long game work.
I arrive home and lo and behold there is a parcel waiting for me with a French postal label on it. ....... This could mean only one thing.....
My Toowap had arrived !!!!
My what ?
My Toowap :-)
The Toowap is a brilliant little GPS device with in built pitch mark repairer from France. I was talking to the boss man clement last week and he said he was going to put one in the post for me to have a looksie at.
All I can say is....
What a great little device !! Small enough that it takes up no space, you can look at your own game, shot for shot on google maps !, and it's got a pitchmark repairer built in ! What's not to love :-). Also the unit is built in France by members of staff recruited from the disabled community so a great work ethic too and they are less than £100. Bargain. Have a look at www.toowap.com can't wait to get it charged up and out on the course ;-)
So with my day going rather nicely and my Toowap on charge, I'm now getting sorted to go and work in the long game ready for the Brabazon on Friday and France next week. Two very tough courses so I will be working on my long game, especially the low drilling shot as I'm expecting lots of wind at Paris national :-)
So till later my bloggy buddies
