Putting game.

On tuesday I took my boys over thew driving range for an hour or so. They was both very well behaved which pleased me and for the first time in ages they hit all of the 50 balls. They didn`t even let me have a shot. George is still struggling with consistency but will be fine because he concentrates so much and thinks about what he is doing. Ben meanwhile continues to improve though his style is much more slapdash. We then went to the putting green and played a game where I would put the ball about 8 feet from the hole and the boys would try to hole out in 2 shots with George going first and Ben tapping in. I worked really well and they enjoyed it. Ive also ordered a book from amazon called teaching kids golf which will hopefully give me some fresh ideas aswell.

Lazy sunday.

Sunday was a lazy day for me, I just stayed indoors most of the day watching the tennis(Nadal destoyed Federer in the french open final) and some of the football(Austria v Croatia). I did managed to do another mile run as I did yesterday too.
In the evening my friend and I went to Penge ceroc. I had a pretty good night but didn`t have as many dances as I have had lately partly because I was a bit tired and also because the venue was very hot (they are getting some portable air con units in the next couple of weeks). The music was good as it usually is at Penge.
My tip for euro 2008, Romania drew their first match 0-0 with France yesterday though I`m not so keen on their chances now as they were very defensive in their approach.

Rochester danceathon.

After I finished work yesterday I did a mile run and the last half a mile or so was a real struggle but I didn`t stop. I currently weigh 14st10 and want to get down to about 13st7 in about 5 or 6 weeks time. I think that is an achievable target.
After that my friend and I went to ceroc at Rochester and I had really good night. The night started fairly slowly and the music wasn`t always that great, but my friend challenged me to dance with 15 people who I had not danced with before. I managed 12 which is pretty good for a shy guy like me and I probably did about 30 dances in all which is way above my average. All the girls I danced with were good fun and not too serious so all in all it was a terrific night.

Orpington Ceroc.

I forced myself to go Orpington on wednesday night but didn`t get there till about 10 o`clock which I regret because I need to do the intermediate routine more than I do in order learn more moves. I only danced with three girls who I hadn`t danced with before, then I went back into my comfort zone of dancing with girls that I know. This is something I need to overcome, especially at venues that I don`t go to so much such as orpington, but having said all that I`m glad that I went because I still had a pretty good time.
I`m going to Rochester tonight with my friend which has been good in the past so heres hoping for another good night.

Wednesday golf.

I took the boys to the driving range on wednesday. Ben behaved a lot better again so he is learning. We did a bit of putting first and Ben did really well, he knocked a couple of putts in from around 4 feet and couldn`t resist telling George that his putting was better George has become a bit inconsistent lately but once he gets through this he will be a lot better.
On the range Ben again performed really well, I was getting him to stand a bit further away from the ball and helping him line up the clubface. He hit some great shots of aroung 50 yards and straight. George struggled with his consistency partly because I feel that he swings the club too fast and loses control. But he has usually been the better of the two but lately Ben has come into his own which is good. They are away this weekend in Hastings with their mother so I won`t see them again untill tuesday. Hopefully they will have a good time.

My goals for June.

I feel that I need to reaccess my goals. Ive been fairly prudent in may apart from a couple of daft bets so the saving plan is still roughly on course. I expect to get a new car within the next month or 2. I didnt play much golf in may (in fact I still haven`t played on course since last year) but I did get to the range on a number of occasions. I still need to improve my social skills but whats new. Dancing wise I still have the odd spell where I struggle to ask girls to dance though its mainly those that I dont know. I also need to lose some weight, ceroc is supposedly a good way of keeping fit but isnt anywhere near as good as a workout physically. So I intend to run at least 3 miles a week. I cant think of anything else so my goals for june are currently -

keep on saving money
to play at least a couple of times on a proper golf course
to get out of my comfort zone and dance with more girls
maybe to learn few more moves
to run at least 3 miles a week
to have some new experiences

Double hustle.

I didnt go to Orpington in the end because work went on a bit longer than I expected.
I got involved in the tennis on friday having £50 on Andy Murray to win his match against some guy called Amagro - he lost.
In the evening I went to to Park Langley which wasn`t too bad and the dj was good.
The boys stayed over on saturday and we watched Britains got talent followed by a double dose of Hustle, my brother had told me to back the four girls with violins to win B.G.T at 6/4 luckily I didnt follow his advice cause he was well wrong.
On sunday I had to work but to the boys to my mums and hit some golf balls with them. In the evening I went to Penge ceroc which was a really good night and I had plenty of dances, the dj was on top form and hardly played a bad record.
Today I managed again not to have a drink and I also ran a mile, the plan is to run 3 miles a week!
