and SO THE END IS NEAR

TSG with European Tour Legend and all round good Guy Mark Mouland.

TSG has had the pleasure of hosting mark and his good lady in florida as mark attempts to win his Champions Tour Card in Florida this month. Best of Luck chum and I will keep TSGers updated as to his progress. I played my last round of 2010 at Providence with Mark and what a great experience it was. I cant wait to put into practice the great number of tips and advice he gave me. Whilst I hope he enjoyed his week in the villa settling into the floridian lifestyle. With luck he may become a neigbour of mine when he gets his card. I introduced him to several small gators but have warned him there are bigger ones around ( see below)

a big GATOR, be careful MARK if hes about.

2010 was a great year for tsg featuring my round the world Trip, considerable success on the fairways but more than that meeting some exceptional people along the way. THANK YOU to everyone for making this year so special and in many ways completing my transition from stroke victim to stroke survivor.

A Highlight of the year my defence of the FLORIDA DIASABILITIES OPEN, Unsuccesful but totally rewarding.

I visited in 2010, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Vancouver, Califrnia, Vegas, Fllorida, Spain, Tenerife not bad for someone 4 years ago told he would never walk again.

Competively..... The TSG Team ( thanks Roger, Skitty, Rich and Clive ) won THE SHOW AM Classic, The Frank Worthington CLASSIC and finished 2nd on Countback at the British Par 3.

Individually I finished 4th at The Wrest Point Masters in Tasmania...

won The British Par 3 pro Am and can now look fwd in anticipation to Mauritious

Finished Runner up twice on Tour in Florida but ended up leading player at Nationals finishing 29th..

There were disapointments, my defence of the Florida Open despite a super start was not impressive. I never reached the heights of he first round in Tenerife at the JR Classic and fell away again in a alcholic stupor in rds 2 and 3.....

2010 saw the first SOCIAL GOLFER OPEN at Hever Castle, were tsg finished 5th in my own event.

My Weapons of Mass Destruction are now away till 2011 when i sincerely hope to meet up again with many of my great SGs around the Globe.

till my XMas and New Year Message, ALL THE VERY BEST>

THE AMATEUR TOUR NATIONAL Finals

Stunning Oyster Reef were the last round was played.

I returned to Hilton Head representing Orlando in the 2010 finals determined to improve on my 47th place in 2009. On that basis the trip was a success as I finished in the Top 30, (29th) and was the highest place Orlando golfer even beating tour Champ and housemate on the trip James Rearden. This event is more than Golf, it was fantastic to meet up again with friends from all over the states I had not seen since last years finals. This year I played with some great guys, particularly Tim who I played in rd1 and the final round. This is what Social Golf is all about, it would have been nice to finish higher but not to be, however we can but think of a return. James as usual was a fantastic companion and arranged the whole trip down to a fine detail, thanks mate.

Team Orlando, we finished 3rd out of 20 cities

The Magnificent Fazio at Palmetto Dunes were Rds 1 and 2 were played
