I set off well with my best tee shot ever on this hole and managed an easy 5 to go 1 hole up. Unfortunately I messed up the tee shot from the 2nd and struggled down the left hand side to score a poor 9. Still early days and I settled down to play well over the rest of the front 9 only messing up the easy par 3 by getting in the bunker and ending up with a 5.
On the back 9 I won 3 in a row which makes a change because I usually struggle on these. I went right into the trees and ended up with another 9 on the 13th. In the end I won easily so maybe I have to drop my handicap next time by 1. We passed the 4 ball on hole 11 when they were looking for balls, we both made good tee shots and scored 5 each so thats confidence!

I was quite pleased as it was just over the 100 and could easily have been under. My putting ended up par despite chipping straight into the hole from 20 yards on the 5th. I managed 9 proper golf scores including 2 pars (all before hole 13, pity I couldn't carry on!). I messed up the 2nd and 13th as described above. I could easily have been 4 less. As usual I lost a ball over the pond.. no idea how to play this one!
Great fun if not a little hot. I only took this moody picture.
