Weather great, car park full, 18 hole looked packed. Where do all the people come from at Meon Valley?
Set off well with good tee shot and got on green in 3. Then 3 putt because the flag was at the top and I was at the bottom. Hey ho.
On 2nd I have never done a good tee shot yet (this was my 5th attempt). Fail! Hit a tree and rolled back to wrong side of path. Still with a great chip and 1 putt I did a good scramble.
On the 3rd I hit a nice tee shot and it didn't go in the pond, no, it went in the smelly ditch. One lost. (Must remember to take a pw next time).
On the 4th I took my mulligan but played the hole well. On the 5th I played it like a par 4 (its way too long for me).
On the 6th I was in trouble off the tee but recovered ok(ish). On the 7th I hit a good one but it went right and right is very rough and lost ball number 2. (Must remember to take an iron next time). On the approach to the green we were had 3 lawnmowers to contend with (any excuse).
I played the 8th well. The 9th started with a duff but recovered ok. We had been in a bit of a rush but made good progress until the 9th where a couple popped up from nowhere and struggled to he green. I have lots of sympathy but I felt agitated.. no good for golf.
R won easily but I beat my previous score and there is a better one in there when I iron out a few mistakes. I think this is a tough course.... My score is here.
