Wed 23rd July 2014 - 18 Holes at Paultons

With R after work. Tee-time of 5:24 cost 16 quid each. We were ready at 5:15 and no one was around so we set off following a lone golfer, following a 3 ball. The weather was hot and even at 5:30 the sun was strong.

I set off quite well (for me) and we drew the first 4 holes  both playing pretty much to handicap. At the end of the 1st 9 I had won 2 and so had R. I messed up the easy par 3 8th after getting in the bunker and failing to get out then going over. This was my only mess up. On the other hand I got onto the green on the long par 3 6th with an average shot that just rolled and rolled and finished very close to the flag. I missed my birdy by a smidgen.

On the back 9 I played fine. As usual I lost a ball on the par 3 lake. (Must remember to aim left and trust my left to right shot!) We were label with 3 to go and I managed to equal R's scores as the heat wore him down. So it was my turn to win again. I was pleased to score exactly 100. My score is click here.

I made 7 proper golf scores and only messed up the 8th. My putting saved me 4 shots.. that would be a good trend. I had 2 avoidable penalties and got stuck in a bunker and 1 silly 3 putt so perhaps there is chance for me to get well under 100 yet?

Great fun, the fairways and greens were good.
