Success?

So yesterday was the big day, and I think overall it was quite successful…
I shot rounds of 96, 81, 98 & 84 which showed equal measures of being a half-decent golfer and being a hack, highlighting my need to improve my consistency. 
Firstly the negatives; As I knew from my preparations, my short game (& at times my ball-striking) and playing smart golf without getting too frustrated are what I need to improve moving forward. 
I also did not walk the course with the clubs on my back as I initially intended, instead using a push buggy for the majority, and a motorised cart for about 27 holes. This was probably the smart decision, but kinda felt like cheating a bit.
Now the positives; I did actually complete the day & finished quicker than expected. I also raised a significant more money for the Cancer Council than my initial & even revised goals.
My long game overall was very good and my iron play was mostly decent. My short game was also good at times and I only lost 4 balls across all 4 rounds (& two of those were from good golf shots).

Overall, I’m proud to have the day completed, money & awareness raised for such a worthy cause and I shall likely make this a yearly tradition for the future (hopefully with more consistent golf).
I hope next year even more people will be able to join #TeamPaige but I am extremely grateful for all the support I received yesterday. 

Too much golf?

I’m starting to think there may actually be a limit to how much golf should be played by an ameteur like me.
Following playing 36 holes on Sunday and some ginormous blisters on my feet, I thought I’d try and get another round in today. Play was very slow and I didn’t have enough coffee before heading out so unsurprisingly  I had my worst round that I can remember, struggling to 22 points (including 2 holes which were birdies and 4 points each).
The blisters on my feet now have blisters on top of them, and while there were some positives from today it was quite demoralising. 
I promise I will struggle through the Longest Day and give it my best crack; this is still nothing compared to what cancer patients have to endure so I should probably stop being such a sook, but I’m considering now using a push cart for my clubs rather than carrying them and not sure if this is cheating; what do you reckon? Should I make it easier to make sure I can complete the challenge or go the full Chopper Reid and simple harden the fcuk up? Let me know

Preparation

Only a week away now until I take part in one very looooong day.
I’ve been working pretty hard; I now officially have a handicap of 17 & I’m driving the ball really well. My  putting and my irons are still a bit hit and miss but the biggest part of the game I need to work on is my wedges.
If anyone is free in the next week for a bit of a hit, or maybe join me for a pitch & putt that would be awesome.
If anyone is keen to join for the day itself and join #TeamPaige for a round (or more) or to join for the 73rd please let me know :)

I'm taking on Cancer Council's The Longest Day...

...the ultimate golf challenge to complete four rounds of golf in one day!

I'll be testing my skill, strength, and stamina to raise funds for Cancer Council.

Because Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with two in three Australians diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70 and I want to help change this.

Please sponsor me today, to make every hole count!

Thank you for your generous donation. Together, let's tee off for a cancer free future.
