No time for warm up. We were following a young lad who we recognised from work. No one behind at first. Eventually we were followed by a pair that never caught us.
I set off well and in particular I used 2 7 irons from the tee of the 2nd and go over the ditch in 3 with no problem. My first minor mistake was going in the rough on the par 3 7th and also going over the green on the rubbish 9th hole (temp green). I took my mulligan on the 4th tee when I lost it right (sigh). Perhaps I could have been 2 shots better but I was very happy with my first 9. I did have a bit of luck on the par 3 5th where I got a very lucky bounce off the road just short of the green.
On the back 9 I did not make any mistakes until we joined the young lad in front to make a 3 ball on the 13th. I need to practice this because I hit a duff off the tee and followed it with another. The first of the round. I managed to scramble well and only lose 1 shot. On the par 3 14th I hit my 4i into the ditch but scrambled well again. Managed to play to my handicap for the last 5 holes.
It was my turn to win again with another sub 100 so perhaps the handicap committee will be meeting soon. My score is here.
