Tucker trophy 🏆

Well it's been a mad few weeks off the golf course,we have 3 events left starting this weekend at Newport and Whitchurch golf clubs in the annual tucker trophy. Two courses I always enjoy playing and always in great condition, after a good rest I feel ready to play and compete again the last month has not been easy off the golf course so I needed a break and now I'm excited about the challenge ahead.

Aberconwy trophy T6th place

What a weekend..... Day one was held at conwy golf club played in a hurricane. Probably the toughest conditions I've ever played in without it actually been called off (was a close call). Scores of 82-75 left me only 3 behind and 5th place going into the next 36 holes at measdu golf club (llandudno). Waking up feeling like I've had 10 rounds with Tyson after the grueling test of conwy wasn't the best start, needless to say 77 +5 put me a few to many shots behind to catch the leader. Round 4 was all about shooting the lowest I could to hop up the field after currently lying 10th after round 3. I signed for a 1 under par round 71 to finish tied 6th in all not a bad result considering I wasn't quite firing. ONTO THE NEXT EVENT

ABERCONWY TROPHY FAST APPROACHING

Well it's that time of year again when the Aberconwy Trophy 🏆 is approaching, the 72 hole tournament is held at Conwy golf club and Maesdu golf club. Played on 6/7th June, this year it will be extra special as I am the defending champion and would be great to defend my last year's title win. I will be working very hard over the next week to try and be really sharp going into the event. Thanks for taking time to read and happy golfing. LEE

Trubshaw Cup and a 7th Place Finish

The Trubshaw Cup was staged this past weekend (25th/26th April) and is an event that is always nice to play in as a past winner. The venues of Tenby and Ashburnham are excellent courses.

It was another tough weekend with winds gusting to over 25mph and when you add in the firm, bouncy conditions plus a few NAUGHTY pin positions; it reflected in yet another over par winning score.

Congratulations to fellow Welsh International Jack Bush on his win. He played some great golf in those testing conditions.

Now onto my game, and I played some fantastic golf in spells which is very encouraging. The new changes I have made are starting to click into gear and my four round scores of 75-75-77-74 was good enough to see me pick up some order of merit points and a finish of 7th place overall.

Next up is the Lytham Trophy at Royal Lytham and St. Annes later this week.

Thanks for taking time out to read my latest post…I hope you have enjoyed it. I’ll be posting here again soon once back from Lytham but don’t forget in the meantime that you can also follow me on both Twitter and Tumblr.

The 2015 Duncan Putter – Tough!

Well the first order of merit event of the season got underway this past weekend, and was played in some tough conditions.

Southerndown Golf Club really showed its teeth on both days alongside some gale force winds with only two players breaking par out of 66 players. The field was reduced to 36 players and ties after the first 36 holes on Saturday with the cut falling at 153 which was a total of 13 over par!

And so on to my Golf over the weekend. Not quite at the races but after shooting 73-77 (10 over par) I scraped through to rounds 3 and 4 to follow up with 79-77 – a whopping total of 26 over par. I finished 30th.

There was some good golf and some bad and just unfortunately the bad cost me a few double bogeys (7 in total) but taking the positives to mind its 72 holes of competitive Golf under my belt and I know where I have to improve ahead of the next event, The Trubshaw Cup which takes place in 2 weeks time.

It’s a solid start to the season making the cut.

Congratulations to Josh Davies (Celtic Manor) on his Duncan Putter victory with scores of 73-69-74-75 for a total of 291, which was 11 over par.

Ahead Of The 2015 Duncan Putter

Less than a week to go now…I will soon be pegging it up in the first Welsh Pinnacle Order of Merit event.

I am very excited to be going back to Southerndown Golf Club as it’s a course I like a lot and the Duncan Putter is a prestigious event and one I always enjoy. It is a field of 66 players (a very strong field at that!) with a cut off at plus 2.

I have had a great winter being a part of the Welsh National Squad and have learnt so much; not only about my game but also about myself in general – mainly the trips to Peru and Spain where my game wasn’t quite where I wanted it to be.

During the last month I feel the changes and hard work I have made/put in are coming together nicely and I’m really looking forward to my first Welsh event. Southerndown is a demanding and challenging golf course where the weather can play a massive factor as it has shown over many previous years.

The event is a 72 hole championship with 36 holes per day over two days. There will be a cut after the first day (36 holes) leaving 38 players to battle it out for the Challenge Trophy.

Southerndown Golf Club’s website is the place to follow live updates and bulletins.

Next Stop – The Spanish Amateur

The Spanish Amateur Championship took place at Montado Hotel & Golf Resort, Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. One of the most prestigious titles in Europe, the Spanish has an excellent field including a strong British entry.

The tournament begins with 36 holes of stroke play, with the top 32 qualifiers fighting it out in matchplay over a total of two rounds. My scores of 78 and 84 left plenty of room for improvement but overall I was pleased with my performance.

Off To Portugal

The Portuguese International Amateur produced rounds of 73 and 75 which meant I would not be around for the final two days but again I felt I played better than the scores on the cards.

My game wasn’t quite where I want it to be but I head to the Spanish Amateur in high spirits.

South American Amateur Golf Championship

What an amazing experience!

I have come back with plenty of positives and a desire to improve in time for my next tournament – the Portuguese Amateur which takes place in a couple of weeks. My scores of 78 73 76 81 gave me plenty of positives in what were extremely hot and challenging conditions.

Those two middle rounds were great for my confidence though and it’s onwards to the next event we go.
