August Month End

Despite the three week break I still got in plenty of golf and in hindsight played the best golf of my year by far.

The stats show the hard work of June and July on my short game is starting to pay off. One putt's are up and three putt's are down. My putting stroke is a lot more positive and chipping is getting the ball closer more often as seen in my scramble stats.

The headline stats in total may look no better than July but scoring has improved and I have to put that squarely down to short game!
