We were just a bit late getting ready and we ended up following a 3 ball who should probably have called us through but did not.
This was our yearly attempt at a limited club game. I opted for: 5i/9i/pw and sw. R had 7i/9i/pw and sw. So it was 5 v's 7 iron. This worked well for me and after winning the first hole I had some nice shots off the tee putting pressure on R to try harder. At the end of the first 9 I was 4 up. On the10th I had a mini disaster with a 9 due to a duff off the tee then poor chipping. This was OK as I recovered and played well enough not to mess up any other holes. In the end I won easily we even had similar absolute scores. I suppose the lesson here is that I should mainly use my irons. My score is click here.
The course was in quite good shape. The fairways were dry but the greens were still quite rough and the bunkers were damp. The dry fairways helped a few shots along the ground to go a decent distance. The 3 in front slowed us down and we let a buggy with 2 good golfers in through. The 3 never let the buggy through either.
The weather was warm enough for shirt and jumper. We finished easily in the light (with 45 minutes to spare) so we can start a bit later next week to avoid congestion and pay less.
Great fun!
