Muriwai Golf Club one more time

As it has been raining a lot, a lot of the park land courses are quite wet and therefore the recommendation in the pro shop, where I got my grip changed was to go to Muriwai, which should be in the best condition of all courses. No problem with that. Great course. Loved it  and looked forward to the chance to improve on my score with that short game practice. But, the wind to today was even more fierce and made for very difficult conditions. My 97 today included 38 putts. Highlight of the day was a little lob shot over a bunker on to the 2nd green. I was very pleased with myself and Richard was impressed that I pulled off a shot I had only learned yesterday.

After the round we went to the range, so I could have some "iSwing" videos taken of me to send of to Ian for analysis. Ahh... I don't like them, it does not look like I have cut down on my overswing by very much (a sad little inch at most). And ever since Bangkok, I have tried more wrist hinge, but it just does not seem to get into my swing yet... Still losing all that power. Will focus on the positive though. My short game is not bad for a bogey golfer!

With all the traffic, it was dark already by the time I got back to the hotel. Too late for the Auckland museum, but not too late to go up on the Skytower (the highest in the southern hemisphere) and enjoy the 360 views of the city at night.
