Angel and I went to the Oxford Golf Driving Range. 5 minutes from the school. We had planned to visit it today just to enquire about the timings/prices. Luckily, we found it wasn't very costly. Get 50 balls and rent a club for 5 pounds. Costly but manageable - atleast, this added another 'First' in my Oxford experience.
I think, for a beginner, I did pretty well. After learning the basics from Angel, I was getting into a better swing with every shot. I counted and hit 10 balls very well - that's a good 20% hit rate. Pat on my back! Good job. I now know that swing is the most important aspect of the game. If you want to hit the ball long, the swing has to be perfect. Lots to learn, but I will improve. Now that I have broken the first-timer hang-up, I can visit the driving range on my own and work on my game. Once every week for sure. Stragely enough, I am coming to an end with my stay at Oxford and I am having some of my best days here. As they say, its never too late!
Day before yesterday, we made the interim presentation to the Lloyds team. We had done good work and they recognized it. I believe, as a team, we are doing very well. We complement each other's strengths well and that makes a lot of difference. One of the guys from Lloyds also mentioned that we seem to be very close to the final output. That was encouraging. More so, from our point of view, we wanted to be sure if our work is going to help Lloyds in some way or not. It appears that this piece of strategy work is going to go a long way in Lloyds' immediate business plans. Here, I paste one of the pics after the presentation (L-R: Cesar, me, Angel, Fernando).
