Tue 23rd Sept 2014 - 18 Holes on Iona

With A as caddy. The usual 8:45 ferry with the locals. The weather was nice enough but a light coat was needed until we got to hole 2.

We went the short way to the start but it was still 9:30 at the first tee. I started off poorly with a 9 and an 8. I was not quite on form from the tee and ended up with a number of awkward lies. We made good progress after the first holes and I avoided mistakes made last week. On the 7th I did a nice tee shot but found the cows waiting on the green so called it a 5 and let sleeping cows lay.

As usual we were the only golfers. There was a minor shower on the long 10th but it was over in a flash. On the 11th my tee shot landed among a flock of sheep. The line "Sheep may safely Graze" not appropriate here. We were surprised by a black sheep who seemed to think hat we may have something to eat.

I know my way round this course now and I like it. My score is click here.

No many proper golf scores and no pars is a reflection of the difficulty of this course. The fairway is undulating and the greens are small.  I messed up 3 holes the first 2 with duffs from difficult lies. And the 16th where I did my usual and lost a ball, not in the long grass but over the fence near the flag.

Great fun as usual!
