New Golfing Year
With more than half of February gone I'm hoping that the worst of the weather is behind us and we can finally get back out on the course with some regularity.
The Captains drive in is on this weekend with the weekly 18 hole comps starting up the week after.
Hopefully the weather will hold up for the driver in. Course was closed today due to frost.
Will be hitting hte range once if not twice a week for the next month to help get back in the "swing" of things.
Am really going to try and get down to 11 this year. Fingers crossed

Skiing 2010
Well we made it back in one piece. Which is always good.
Worst fall I had all week was slipping on way home from pub on the Friday night!!
Plenty of snow and sunshine too. So conditions were really ideal. We were pretty much up on the slopes all week. Latest we made it up was 9.45 and we were up there till around 4 most days so got plenty of skiing in.
Few pics of week

A New Year
So it's 2010. A new year.
What to do. Well for starters I'm going to try and get down to 12. And then try and play of it.
It'll take a good bit of effort. But having not put much effort in last year and still shaving 2 shots off I'm definitely ready for the challenge.
I finished 2009 off well - I was striking the ball well and managed a few good results which got me in to the top ten of golfer of the year. Considering there is over 600 members I think it's not too bad.
Another goal is to try and update the blog regularly - not necessarily because of I have hundreds tuning in for an update. I'd like to have a good record of how the year has gone. I look back on some of my earlier posts and can read back good accounts of my golfing exploits.
Anyway that's the plan.

Lesson
Hey all!!
I was in for a golf lesson on Tuesday. Talk about value for money.
All year I have been very solid with my irons. But have been a bit suspect off the tee. Basically any time I put a driver or a three wood in my hand it can range from very good to plain awful.
In 5 mins Gary ( The Pro ) had spotted the problem. An issue with how I gripped the club. Apparently I have two grips - one for when i'm hitting irons and one for off the tee.
So now that he fixed that problem I have no more excuses......

Golfing This Morning!!!
Morning All!!
Out for a round of golf this morning.
Haven't managed to play at all since last weekend. Nice weather all week for golf.
I'll give you three guesses as to what it's doing out there now.
Bloody typical....

Luas V Dublin Bus
Feckin mad this.
How in God's name can the drivers not see each other? It's not like they're driving small things.
A few people still seriously injured.
It's Been A While....
Well, Hello
I know it's been a while since I posted anything but well I really wasn't arsed.
I'll try and post regular ( well regular-ish) updates.
Went out for a run this evening for the first time in I don't know how long. I ran just under 4 k and made it home alive so all in all it was a pretty successful return.
Everyone seems to be out running these days so I said I might as well get on board.
Got my hands on a few new lenses so will try and get out this weekend and get a few shots. I'll post a few of the pics here.
Cillian & Caoimhe getting bigger and bolder - well not so bold - I'll stick a couple of pics up of them over the weekend.
Well, that'll about do it.

Westport
Hey,
I got to play Westport yesterday and despite all the weather forecasts - which predicted alot of rain - we managed to get around with only a couple of drops. And I mean literally a couple of drops.
Didn't get off to the best of starts and considering I have been playing well lately it was a little bit of a pisser.
I could only manage 11 points on the front nine. The bank nine was a different kettle of fish. Played very well and amassed 19 points. No where near enough to win but happy none the less.
Myself and two of the lads are heading to the Open next weekend in Turnberry, Scotland. Heading out in a camper so will be leaving for Belfast on Friday afternoon and will arrive at Turnberry for some time around 3 -we think. Am really looking forward to it.
Am playing in the Tuesday open comp this week so will try and get back to the way the blog was before and post a bit after I'm done.

Class Weekend of Sport
What a weekend.
It started with watching Utd go down 2-0 at Fulham while having two players sent off. Continued onto discovering that Chelsea had also lost. That was followed up with the first Irish Grand Slam in over 60 years as Ireland beat Wales in nerve wrecking fashion. After this came Bernard Dunne's world title victory.
Then to my absolute delight Liverpool give Villa a thumping.

Liverpool Today
I am absolutely delighted with today's result. To beat Utd at home at any stage is a great result. To score 4 goals in the process is unbelievable. Not to mention that the slim chance Liverpool had / have of winning the title could only continue with 3 points. I am over the moon.
Some commentators and fans will only be delighted to state that Utd slipped up rather than Liverpool totally outplayed them. They will say that it only goes to show how inconsistent Liverpool have been all season. But I point to the fact that despite not having the money to spend like Utd and Chelsea, and having drawn more games than we would like we are still hanging on in there. We knew a victory was what was required to keep the chance of a title alive. And a victory was achieved.
Utd's next game at Fulham is now huge. While they will most likely win at Craven Cottage, and most likely win the title it is not as much as a given as it was. If by some chance Fulham manage even a draw Utd then have to face a Villa side still hoping for a top 4 placing.
I can't wait.

Sports Photography
I gave it a shot last weekend at he Athenry B V CB Trotters match. I would really like to get into sports photography and am doing a couple of courses over the next few months - but there's nothing like getting some experience. When I get a few more matches under my belt I'm going to try and use a contact I have in Galway Utd to see if he can get me in for a couple of matches - could possibly be easier to get into a Mervue Utd match. There playing Division 1 now in League of Ireland and are playing their home matches in Terryland now as well.
Here's a few I took at the Athenry match...
