wind was so difficult to work out.

the course looked great.
I’m glad the weather was
belting out the good stuff
and made a real change for
a GP this seasons. Some
of the top lads were on 1

Wrecker where still clear as
I walked around, this was
going to be a tough one
to hold your grade on. The
plinker secured that the

gun was fine and after a
couple of checks I packed
up because I wasn’t
learning that much with the
wind direction going the
opposite way.
I started on lane 11 and
that’s exactly where
the OXO started also, I
struggled to work out what
the wind was doing at a
distance, had a couple
whipped straight over
and another couple that

took nothing. It was really
difficult as I talked myself
out of a couple of targets,
everything felt like it was
on the trigger again as we
worked our way up to the
Bowl of Doom.

really getting up now so I

With only 2 GP’s left it’s
still all to fight for and I’m
definitely going to dig in

there’s no way I’m missing
out on a position by 1
target like last year, that
drive home from Redfearns
was the longest drive
home ever, even longer
than the break down in

don’t need to make every
course a growler.
