Like Steve I'll be Praying for you. Maybe I should write a short golf experience as I do about Luke.

Thought and best wishes Dennis. Just keep reminding yourself, "every day is a nice day, its just that some are nicer than others."

Yesterday's round showed some improvement on what seems like a run of, slowly improving, dire golf. Out in 38, and back in 41 = 79 -6 = 73 (1 over nett). The round included 3 double bogies but also had a couple of birdies, and 3 missed good birdie chances. I get the feeling there's a good round just bubbling below the surface.

Thanks...

I'm going to be fine soon or later. I'm a bit concerned that my mouth still hurts from extractions I had last Tuesday. One side is perfectly fine, but the other side is throbbing and I'm worried I've got an infection or that there's a chip of tooth still in the gum irritating it. I'm not having any pain from the hole in my back at all now.

Good luck Dennis I hope you get good results! Stay positive and take care

I was talking with Surtees last night telling him about my fantastic day playing golf. Although it was only nine holes I think Surtees said it best I only played 6 holes. The two par 3's ate me for lunch hitting fat shots and the last hole well if any of you read those goofy stories I some time write about golfing down under I had trouble with the cottonwood and pine trees that line the fairway. I got better distance off the trees backwards than going towards the green. Then my buddy and I got to laughing because he was hitting trees and we couldn't hit after that after we putted out we sat in the cart speaking in tongues. still a great day though. Next time those nine extra strokes won't be there I'll be back in the low 40s or better.

I always knew those stories you wrote were you really life experiences with a few aussie words put in for fun!

New irons in the bag today, to add to the new driver a few weeks back. The weather was a bit rough - a strong breeze and 38*f.

Tee shot on the first split the fairway but no sign of the ball, and so to a certain extent the round continued. Out in 44, 8 over, but at least the were some more signs of improvement, e.g. hitting the green from 160yds out of a fairway bunker.

The back 9 was by far the tougher of the nines, mainly because a lot of the holes were into the wind. But I a couldn't miss a fairway, or most greens. 37, 1 over. 81-6=75, 3 over but good enough to take the money.

Loved the new Titliest 712cb irons, and the new Ping i15 driver was spot on.

Yesterday saw a typical cold breezy links day, and thankfully the improvements in the game continued. Out in 39, and back in 39 = 78-6=72(level par).

Some great tee shots, some great long irons into some tough holes. 2 excellent birdies marred by 3 3putts and 2 duffed chips

. Perhaps a bit too critical with 2 of the 3putts as they were made in near darkness, and one of them still led to a par - on a par5 in 2.

Next week we get to play Canadian Greensomes, one of my favourite formats. You and you partner both tee off, then you hit your partner's ball and he hits your. Then you decide which ball to finish the hole. A nice quick game on what is one of the shortest, and probably coldest, day of the year.
