It was very very hot. We just had a bloke with his other half driving a buggy behind on the first, we let them through and they finished the 18th as we finished the 9th. The heat did not help.
Started off as normal with me going to the right just past the 150 and M going way right perhaps onto the 4th fairway. I hit my ball and saw it to the green and went to help M find his ball. No luck. When I got to the green my ball was no where to be seen. I was most miffed but assumed it had rolled away somewhere as the course was very very dry. I took a penalty and chipped a ball onto the green and then as M lifted the flag out popped my ball. My first hole in 2 on a par 4. I do not expect it to be repeated anytime soon.
On the 2nd I managed to go right and just scrape across the ditch on my 2nd. M was having trouble on the 4th fairway and eventually onto the 3rd before getting to the green. I was pleased to get on the green in 4 then 4 put! What a twit!
I seem to be in the habit of getting in the ditch on the 4th on my second shot. Must learn to avoid this!
I had a bit of trouble on the 6th hitting it straight left and lost a ball in the long grass. I followed this with a duff into the big rough before getting on the green. I also had trouble on the 8th hitting my tee into the long grass left and taking my mulligan. I like to save this for the 12th.
I almost failed to find my ball from the tee on the par 3 14th, I saw it hit the green but I had almost given up when I found it under a tree. Used my 3W for this again so must remember to continue this trend.
Today was a bit of bunker practice at the par 3 7th, the fairway bunker on the 10th and the fairway bunker on the 13th. I got out of each in 1!
We finished at about 7pm and we were knackered but we had the course to ourselves.
It was my turn to win again so M gets another handicap point or I take one off? Probably I will play off 27 with M next time. My score is here.
