Today was M's turn to win (8 holes to 5). I took another off my handicap to play on 26 with M on 33. It was my worst score since May but I did not seem to play bad just had no luck and hit a few too many duffs.
M had decided to stick to his 4i off the tee which was way more reliable than his woods. I always knew he could beat me on distance and the irons improve accuracy. If this continues I expect his handicap to come down from 33!
The weather was odd, one minute scorching hot and the next cold with a chance of a storm. In the end we were lucky and kept dry and played in shirt sleeves.
The course was ok tees and fairways were good but the greens seem to be suffering from the recent drought and were quite lumpy. (Its a good excuse anyway).
Where did I lose my points? For a start I was 2 over on putts this could easily have been 2 under so thats 4 or so. I hit a few more duffs that I have lately, not sure why.. perhaps its trying too hard as Dummer is longer that Quindell thats another 4. I was most pleased with the 18th. A nice 4i to the right of the fairway, followed by a 9i to the left of the lake, another 9i to the centre of the left of the lake, followed by a 7i just short and on the green in 5. I then messed up with a 3 put so thats a shame but I have been so much worse on this hole! No lost balls and no mulligan so thats a plus. Also I was very pleased with my Pw as I used it on at least 5 holes to good effect stoping it on the green for 40-50 yds.
Great fun as usual as haven't played M for a few weeks. My score is here.
