The 18 hole was as quiet as I can ever remember. We payed 20 quid each + a buggy. We set off with no one in front and no one behind and that was how it stayed. Can't blame anyone else! The weather was hot to start with, we had a downpour after hole 5 and then it was fine. The wind was a bit of a problem but it died down toward the end of the round.
I set off very well with 4,5,4 went 2 up after 2. However on the 4th I hit a great tee shot then went onto the Cathedral fairway to the left. That never happened before! This was the start of a bad run of 4 holes with 7's and 8's. At the end of the front 9 M was up by 1 hole and we were tied on shots. By the 11th we were all square. From this point in M only messed up one hole (the 17th) and ended up winning by 5 clear holes and 4 shots. I played average and collapsed on the last 3 holes losing 3 balls. So the Geller trophy stays North yet again. My score is click here.
Even though it was just less than 110 it was very messy and could have been better. I only got to the green with any chance of a proper golf score on 6 holes. My putting let me down as it has recently and I was 2 over par. I only ended up with 5 proper golf scores (all bogeys). I messed up on 4 holes.
Hole 4 was spoilt by my great tee shot going to far and getting lost. Hole 5 was destroyed by a 3 putt.
17 was caused by a lost ball on my 2nd shot after a great tee shot over the tree. The 18th was a disgrace as I decided to use a chip and run 4i into the wind... it ended in Beaches Brook and was lost serves me right. So I should have saved 2 puts and lost 3 less balls, who knows I may even have won!
As usual I failed on the 16th in thepond but I have decided to take a PW next time and just go left perhaps 40 yds... lets see if I can remember.
