Hi Ellis,
Good to hear from you, and good to see you are still involved.
3 yrs in June or July for me I think !! Then its my 4th year. WOW !! Like you I have not been playing that much of late. I think it happens to everyone eventually, and I found a good break can help. I still dont play as much as I use to, but I didnt play at all for about 6 weeks or more - the get up and go, got up and went lol
I am in a really great CC, and eventually I started to play a couple of our CTTH comps, and actually won one - WOW. Then I played in out club championship - a bit rusty mind you- but I still found I could shoot a 66 or a 69, and I started to enjoy it a bit more.
Then I started to play about 1 round per week, and that seemed to be quite enjoyable. Played some quite good rounds - the break doesn't seem to have affected my ranking, its not that great anyway. Certainly I am a bit rusty, but thats cool I'm not playing for sheep stations anyway. But I found I was quite looking forward to my rounds again, and the enthusiasm started to flood back - well trickle back lol
Now I find I havent played in over a week, but I will again when I feel the need to.
I think a nice break does the world of good, but there are other things in life outside of WGT that sometimes take priority, but I'll still hang around and play when I feel like it. It still is a great game.
Dont know if that helps or not Ellis - but thats my tips for a long career at WGT
Happy New Year to you.
Cheers
Doug
