I am travelling today to Porto Santo, an Island just of Maderia, to play in an European Tour event . The event starts on Thursday. I will keep you updated with my scores. — On Arrival in Maderia, my clubs did not arrive, they had gone missing on route somewhere , I walked the course on the first practice day. My Clubs arrived on the Tuesday enabling me to play a practice round. I stuggled off the tee in the first round, but played much better the second day, starting with two birdies and an eagle through the first four holes, unfortunately I still had a few wayward tee shots. Finishing with a 69.
Quick Update
I have been working hard playing at home and away. Playing in The Major Golf Championsip at Archerfield in February, finishing first. Then onto play in one of the Hi 5 Tournaments in Spain which I won with 11 under par. I am now in Kenya playing in a Challenge Tournament. I have just shot one under in the final round to finish in 24th place.
Practice in Spain
I am in Spain practicing with my brothers. Just played a Hi 5 Tournament finishing tied 7th with my younger brother Zack, Elliot finishing a shot behind. The European Challenge tour kicks off with the first tournament being in Columbia in February so hopefully I will be heading out there soon.
Fairmont St Andrews
I played in the Europro event at St Andrews this week. Finishing second after missing out in a play off. After the first day I was lying 2nd with a 4 under par, 3 under par the next day saw me lying 3rd. The weather conditions on the final day were very tough, with gusty winds. Finishing on 4 under I was tied first. We both parred the first hole but after the 2nd play off hole my putt lipped out to loose. It was a decent week but a bit of a disappointig finish. It felt realy good to be in contention in a tournament again.
Kazakhstan then onto Oxford
I arrived in Kazakhstan on Wednesday 16th September. There is a time difference of 6 hours ahead of Britain. Played my first round the next day, a bit unlucky with the draw as I was last off and had to play my round in torrential rain. After 12 holes play was suspended. I was 5 under par. Play resumed the next morning at 7.30am and I completed my round finishing on 5 under par. Played the next 3 rounds very solid with consequtive 71s to finish 21st. Left Kazakhstan on Sunday night arriving at Heathrow airport 9am Monday morning. Drove to the Oxfordshire Golf Club, for the start of tour school. I felt I played fairly well but unfortunately not as well as was needed.
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.
