Dutch Futures

Played really nice in Amsterdam.  Happy with my first three rounds but a bit disappointed with my last round.  Feeling postive for this week  as I am off to play  in Kazakhstan.

La Gomera Spain

Played in La Gomera last week.  The weather was great.   I struggled with the greens finding them grainy and therefore  hard to find the  pace up and down them.  The views from the course were beautiful as the course was on top of a cliff.  The first tee was at the top  and you played down to the eighteenth which was at the bottom.

Formby Hall

Played in a Europro event with my Brothers this week.  Was great fun, enjoyed us all being together. Had a good four under par in the second round.  Finished 12th.  Elliot shot the course record with a 7 under par.

SK Challenge Finland

Good start to the week.  Went into the weekend in contention but in the final round the putts would not drop.

Scottish Challenge

Good to play on home soil.  Played steady.   On Friday I had a disappointing  last three holes which made me narrowly miss the cut.

Welsh Challenge

I played well in tough conditions.  The wind and rain made the course very long.  I putted better but felt I did not capitalise on the par fives.   Back home this week to play in the  Scottish Challenge  in Aviemore.

The Open

I had an enjoyable time competing at The Open last week.  All friends and family were there which was great and I would like to thank everyone for their support and good wished.   Elliot and I were disappointed not to make the weekend.  The course was tough, you had to hit the fairways or you were penalised, just as I was, losing a ball on the 8th in my first round.   Unfortunately the weather conditions in the afternoon of my second round made it difficult to fight back with birdies which I needed to make the cut.  The experience of  Turnberry has made me more determined to play in the Open at St Andrews in 2010

The past few weeks

I have been rather busy these past few weeks playing in Sweden where I was 12th.  Then on to Switzerland where unfortunately I missed the cut.  I felt I played well but had difficulty in reading the greens.  Then onto the Open Qualifier where I  successfully qualified.  Looking forward to next week playing the Open especially as my big brother quaified also and my younger brother Zack will caddy for him.  On my way to France today to play in the Allianz Open at Lyon.

Thank you to everyone for your kind emails, they are very much appreciated.

Challenge Ireland

Struggled with my putting this week.  Again had a good ball stricking week.  Slightly disappointed with my second round but know exactly what needs to be worked on.

The Karnton Golf Austria

Played very nicely this week.  Hit the ball the best I have all year. Unfortuately I made a six on the last hole to miss the cut by 2.  Ths was due to over cutting my tee shot on the last into the water.  But overall ball stricking wise a very positive week.
