I had a somewhat productive weekend. And by weekend, I really only mean Sunday. The most productive part of the weekend was finding out that the closest golf course is only a $10 cab ride away. Which means I might get to play more than once a year now. A few of us went to the range for a little bit to enjoy the nice weather. After not hitting a ball since last December, I was pretty impressed. I think I'm ready to hit the links for real.
That got me looking to see if there were any "amateur" golf tournaments around the Sydney area. I figure in a country with only 22 million people, that has to bump up my ability strictly based on numbers, right? I didn't find too much but I did find a Mid-Amateur tournament every November. Based on this years results I think I'd have a chance to be in the top half, maybe even third. I just need to do a few things:
1) Play enough to get a handicap (again)
2) Get the handicap down to below a 7.4 at some point by the end of summer when registration rolls around
The only other productive thing I figured out this weekend is that this summer, I'm NEVER going to leave my place without being fully covered in SPF30. This whole not having an ozone to protect you down here really makes that sun hot.
