The Week of Golf Firsts (Part 2)
The second of the golf firsts was playing my first two golf competitions ever over the long bank holiday weekend. Once you’ve jumped over what you felt was a scary hurdle of getting your handicap, you may as well throw yourself into two competitions in the same week too!! A couple of weeks before the competitions I posted a story on my Instagram account asking how my followers prepare for a golf competition. I had a great response and the main things were warming up beforehan

The Week of Golf Firsts (Part 1)
The first of the golf firsts was finally getting my official handicap of 18.0. Now I realise that for the majority of golfers a first handicap of 18.0 is amazing and they would be incredibly happy with that. However, my initial reactions were shock and then panic. The shock went something like this: “Are you sure? How can I be an 18 handicap golfer when I haven’t shot less than 20 since last summer?” The panic went something like this: “I can’t play in competitions with 18!”
