Met M and A for a few holes on the par 3.
We set off just in front of 2 4 balls. A bit of pressure from the 1st tee. M got on the green and I did a poor tee shot left. No one laughed!
The weather was great and we managed to keep ahead of the followers and A was a reasonable ball spotter. M had decided not to use the driver and this meant social golf for several holes. Also I suspect M had more fairways than usual.
The game was quite close but M had a good run on the back 9 and he was 3 up with 3 to play. On the 16th he sunk a putt from 30ft to half the hole after a duff from the tee and that was enough to win by one hole in the end. (I did win the last 2 holes for pride.)
My score is click here.
My putting was average but could have been 2 less without 3 putting. I managed 5 proper golf scores with 1 par on the easy 13th. I messed up 3 holes. The 4th as usual was a pain and made worse by the soggy ground. I made a mess of the 10th with mistaken use of my 4r. Mental note not to use again. On the 15th I had a mental block and hit a wild tee shot into the trees and lost a ball. (Cant remember if M found it?).
Great fun and ended with a quick beer!
