Meet M at the Clubhouse 8 for the usual great breakfast. We were also treated to a talk from the Golf Pro who said "Get better or get your money back". I was a little shell shocked from a late night at work.
We set off with no-one in front and no-one behind. M hit a great tee shot to the green and down in 1, great start. That set the tone for the first 5 holes and M was 4 up after 5. I had a nightmare 10 on the 5th. I was thinking oh no this is bad. Then I won the next 4 and it was all square after the front 9. It stayed this way until the 14th. The scores ended up identical so it was very close but my 2 lucky breaks came on the 15th and 18th and I won by 2. In particular we both navigated round the last 3 in good style.
The weather was pleasant and we caught up with the people in front after 9 or so. We let a lone golfer through and he had a nightmare which we understand well! We were happy to get round in 4 hours. The course was in reasonable shape and it was a fun day. One of the great comebacks of our time! ;-)
My score in click here.
My putting was +1 and I had 4, 3 Putts so I could have been 5 better on putting alone. I had 8 proper golf scores including 2 pars. I messed up on 4 holes. 4, 5 and 13 were due to lost balls from the tee. All avoidable! On the 9th I had a duff close to the green. So that would have saved another 4 shots. So with 9 less I would have been nicely under 100.
Bring on the next 2 games for the legendary trophy!
