The numbers are in already!

FYI my usual cruising speed with driver is around 93mph, give or take a couple depending on factors such as gym routine etc.

My goal for 2025 is to get my crusing speed to 100mph!

Driver max today was 100mph
2025 lesson #2 today. Looking forward to improving my direction.

Since the first lesson the quality of strike has improved in terms of impact height (less fat shots) but I'm still mostly hitting out of the heel and I'm struggling with big hooks.

However, putting practice is paying off!

Seaview GC (again)
Cottesloe 6011

Handicap has blown out by 2 shots in the last 3 rounds. Played off 16 yesterday and finished on 37 points despite not feeling like I played great.

Ball striking is much improved, directionally much better compared to last week but not ideal.

Recent lesson with Jim at Pin High, Osborne Park:

I've been living in the high heel section of all clubs. Haven't seen the middle of the clubface for months. I've lost distance and it was so consistent I thought it was swing speed related

Here's what Jim has me working on...🧵

Hillview Golf Club
High Wycombe, 6057

Public golf course in the east of Perth, not far from the Great Eastern Highway. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, that highway is the best thing about this golf course. Didn't enjoy a minute of being there, today.

New balls, though. 🧵

Swing speed update:

Not seeing much progress, I haven't hit a PB with any of the speed sticks for about 5 sessions

I'm training 3x a week in the gym using the Fit For Golf app plus 2x cardio

I'll keep working hard, hopefully turn a corner soon 🙏 #golf #golfsky #perthgolf

Yanchep 6035

A beautiful day in Yanchep/Neerabup. Sunny but windy. Around 30°C and under.

Really tough conditions as the wind was swirling and gusting up to 50 km/h. 36 points was the winning score, off the WHITE tees...we played off the blue tees all the way round 🤦‍♂️

Ball striking has hit an all time low. Living in the high heels (fats and shanks).

That's all about to change! I had a lesson at Pin High, my local simulator studio (as used by Hannah Green and Min Woo Lee).

Working on keeping the hands high rotating the shoulders fully. Here's to a better 2025!

TGL final thoughts

It's close to being a really good product. I think it will improve significantly by the 2nd season but I feel I might be in a minority here 🤷‍♂️

So, PXG have unveiled their "Secret Weapon"

Is anybody surprised to hear it is yet another Mini Driver?

My closest club! Still waiting for a nomination to apply for membership, would be a dream to be a member here. A real deal private golf club with a superb course.

I had the opportunity to play here back in the winter of 2024 as part of a PGN special event

Do yourselves a favour and watch the walk ons in darts recently. You could learn a lot about atmosphere

Whaleback Golf Course
Parkwood 6147

A third and final W ticked off the course list. A public course that has a lot more charm than expected!

This course is right across from my office, so I should have played it before. I put it off for a while, and now I'm not sure why.

No photos, sorry. I was too busy having fun.

What a gem! Very pretty, semi-private club north of Perth. Interesting design, variety of hole types and well maintained. Slick greens, bunkers and tee boxes in good condition, too.

Wembley - Tuart Course
Wembley Downs 6019

It's the busiest golf complex in the Southern Hemisphere, or so I'm told. I can believe it! It's so tough to get a parking spot 🚘

Two 18 hole courses, mini golf, two-tier driving range with trackman and putting & chipping greens ⛳

Min Woo Lee at the simulator studio I use. He looked very busy so I decided not to ask for a photo

The best golf shot I've ever hit.

You know it's a ballsy shot if you ask your mate to film it. How often do they come off? One in ten? One in a hundred? This was a 60 yard mega fade, off the back foot with a compromised stance, over water to a green guarded by a bunker on the left. Sound up

Looking forward to getting started with my SuperSpeed golf training system later. I think I'll do a mobility workout and a few swings to get me loosened up.

I'm sure all of the food and drink hasn't helped my swing speed this week 😅 will post the results later!

Call me mad, but after yesterday's very hot round I'm dreaming of cold foggy days on a links course

40°C today, tough round! We did our best to hydrate before and during but I'm absolutely shattered! Ok round, 89. Had a great time with some good guys! Time to wind down and get ready for Christmas, now.

Happy holidays, everyone!!

Seaview again. Cool trophy, my name isn't on any of them but some real progress today. Good ball striking, fewer penalties and better putting! 2025 looks promising!

Let's hope PGN mix up their Sunday comps. Would be nice to play more new courses

Ranked in Australia's Top 100 courses by @golfdigest.bsky.social and you can see why. This is a course for the strategists, there's a lot of trouble out there and you absolutely must plan and prepare well
