With R. Its getting more difficult now to finish in the light and still do a days work, we had a 2:45 tee time. We payed 18 quid each as a special deal by the lady in the Pro shop.
On the 1st we both needed a mulligan as I went in the ditch and R went in the trees left. The first 3 holes are fine, nothing special. But after this it gets hilly. I had forgotten how much. The 4th is over a hill down into a valley and back up the hill to the hole. I made a mess of this with a 9. The rest of the front 9 was steady and I think we were level.
On the back 9 I made a mess of the 11th with a lost ball int the trees right. On the 17th I did a good tee shot that just got stuck at the edge of the big ditch. I went right and got stuck in the trees for another poor score. In the end R won by any scoring method. My score is click here.
My putting was just ok. I only managed 4 proper golf scores (all bogeys). I messed up 3 holes. The 4th across the valley could have been avoided. The 11th should not have had a lost ball. And the 17th could have been a couple better. So with 7s instead of 8's and 9's I could have saved 4. Without the double bunker on the 15th I could have saved 1 and with a 3 instead of a 4 putt thats 1 more. So perhaps I could score 6 better on another day.
Tough course as there are no flat lies its all up down or sideways. Perhaps its good to practice here?We were lucky enough as no one was in front or behind and we just finished before 6 so we could see easily. The weather was cloudy but not cold.
