Out as usual today and actually played a reasonable round of golf, feels like it's been too long 
Nothing spectacular but 85 at Shrivenham (par 68 off the blue/winter tees though), feels like it's been a whilst since I broke 90 even!
I couldn't play on Friday cause of the rain but had a rain session and kinda randomly decided to try the ol' 2 Iron (Srixon ZU85 'driving iron' I've had for almost 2 years now) and was actually hitting it decently, put it in the bag for today and hit some really nice shots with it, only carrying ~170 but with the ball flight into wind it's nice to have in the bag.
Also out yesterday but that was nothing to write home about
Think I've decided on the Ping Hoofer Monsoon bag, it doesn't tick all my boxes but it seems nothing does Was gonna get a Titleist Players 4/5 StaDry but heard bad things about the legs after a bit of use and given I golf constantly that changed my mind... Gonna try and get it early in the week as I'm playing Cumberwell Park this week and it looks rainy... Today was meant to rain so ended up using my trolley as my interim pencil bag doesn't even have a rain hood.
So, 2026 goals:

- Play 4 new Royal courses
- Practice once a week (on average probably but ideally try to make once per week...)
- Swing speed >100mph with the Driver, third year in a row, sure to happen this time
- Following in Booyaka's footsteps gonna set myself a birdie target, was initially thinking 75 but maybe too high for where my game is at, 50 would be 1 in every 4 rounds ish average (assuming I do the same ~200 rounds a year) which seems doable?
- Actually achieve my goals this year
