The ground was quite wet but the weather was fine and the course was quiet. We just let a lone golfer pass on the 5th (he had a minor nightmare).
The wet conditions did affect my score as its much more difficult to make a good contact with the ball. Perhaps its time to get out my 4r? We were very even for the whole round and with 3 to play we were drawing. We both par'd the 16th like a couple of pros but M got 1 better on the 17th and won by 1 hole (taking the Geller trophy back North). Anyway thats good as my handicap will get 1 closer! M did well with the walking and he realised that with no buggy it was better to hit irons then woods. This may become a problem for me in future games.

My putting was poor especially on the front 9 and should have saved me 4 shots. I only managed 4 proper golf scores, 3 bogeys and 1 par. However, I only messed up 1 hole (the 9th caused by a 3 putt).
The bunkers were all free drops as they were water logged. If I could avoid a couple of pairs of duffs this would save another 2 shots and I would have had a more respectable score and might even have won the trophy.
Back in the pro shop I got a good deal on a larger golf carry bag which will(should) be better for carrying winter layers and perhaps some bigger clubs.
Great fun and weather!
