Day 30 - Perfection

I have heard the quotation referred to as being by Gary Player and Lee Trevino, but I believe it was Arnold Palmer who coined the expression: "It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get!".  Whichever, it's a nice turn of phrase and one that came to mind this morning. After my round last Sunday, I definitely needed to get luckier... so off to the practice area today.

We are blessed at Burhill with some great practice facilities although I didn't get any further than the range this afternoon. It was nice to try out the new balls I had been told about and also to work out what I had been doing wrong the other day.  That being said, the young man in the bay next to me was hitting the same balls with a similar club and they were going a lot further than mine, so maybe it's more than luck that I require. Monkey glands anyone?


No such practice required to make my lunch today. Having been brought up as a child in Antwerp, and having since lived in the Netherlands on two separate occasions, I am well able to make myself an uitsmijter for lunch. And very good it was too!
