Wed 10 Oct 2012 Sconser Golf 18 Holes
This was a new experience for me.
Not only a wonderful location but no caddy or photographer.. just me.
It is a 9 hole with 2 tees for most of the holes.
No stress except on first tee where I let 3 locals go through so they would not watch my first shot which could go anywhere especially with no warmup.
1. no problem steady progress to hole. greens were difficult to stay on!
2. long hole: as usual I messed up my 2nd and 3rd shots trying too hard.
3. fine par 3
4. fine
5. fine par 3
6. played this well keeping uot of all dicthes
7. was called through 4 ball .. not too bad but a 3 put
8. played this off 17th tee instead of 8th
9. lost ball (see later) but score ok
First half played with irons to avoid losing balls.
10. good tee shot but was lucky to find it good 2nd shot
11 again trying too hard must learn to take it easy on long holes
12 4 on par 3
13 lost ball in right rough shame
14 par 3 from high tee ... went well past but at least a straight one!
15 played this well and finished up with a par with a put from the fringe (A joined me here)
16 lost ball in left rough
17 played from 8th tee lucky fing after first shot inrough
18 good first shot and I found ball from hole 9 I had been looking to far ahead.
Great fun!

Fri 5 Oct - Dragons Tooth 9 Hole
This was a free round with the hotel @Ballaculish. Nice!
I started with A as my Caddy and AW as my Photographer.
A fun round only lost a couple of balls.
Lots of photos by AW of first 4 holes.
this was a 9 hole and as we were in a rush for lunch I did the first 3 again after once round.
Fun!
