Wed 11th June 2014 - 18 Holes at Paultons

With R after work. The traffic was busy and I was a bit late getting there. R was all ready to go. The weather was ok: no rain, a few clouds and a bit of sun towards the end of the round. As usual it was 16 quid each.

We started off just in front of a 2 ball and we never really saw them again. We caught a 3 ball who tried to call us through on the 12th but we declined.

I had a nice 5 for starters and played to (my) par on the 2nd. R set of OK and got better, starting with a birdy on the par 5 2nd. By the end of the front 9, R had 4 more pars. However I played well enough so that we were level on holes. The worst hole for both of us was the easy par 3, 8th where we both went in the right hand bunker and struggled to get 5 each.

On the back 9 it was a different story. R started with 2 pars, a bogey a par, a double bogey and a birdy. I never won another hole even though I did not play too bad. Thats golf. One of the best for R though. My score is click here.

I managed 6 proper golf scores with just 1 par on the par 3 3rd. My putting was better than average on the first 9 and worse on the back. Making it more or less even. I messed up 3 holes. The 10th an 11th I never play well for some reason. On the 10th I had a duff from the tee and a 3 putt. On the 11th I had a nice tee shot and then ended up going over the back and 3 putting again. I messed up the last hole with a duff into the long grass from the tee, Hey ho ... great fun as usual and we finish well before dark as its nearly Summer.

Waiting for the 3 ball on the 12th
