This was an experiment to see how quick we could be. After 1pm its 7.50 for 9 holes. I books and R paid before I arrived. The weather was cool and cloudy but warm enough once we got going.
They said we could go when we were ready as there was no one in front or behind. Nice. Pity the workmen were hanging round the 1st tee otherwise I might have had a better start. I went right R went left. The 1st was a mess up for me with a duff 2nd shot and a 3 putt. Never mind.
The 2nd can be a nightmare but I was over the back of the been on my 4th shot so thats good for me. We drew the 1st 4 holes neither of us playing very consistently. Despite a bunker on the 5th I managed 4. My nightmare hole has been the 6th, this time I took a 4i off the tee and was on the green in 3 a few inches from the hole. I followed this with another par on the 7th, and finished off in style with a par on the 9th. My score is click here.
I messed up 2 holes, the 1st I blame the workmen and must remember to take time on 2nd shot of game especially if in a bit of rough. The 8th I messed up with a duff from the tee (grr). My putting was good considering the damp greens but could have been 2 better without 3's. I had 5 proper golf scores including 3 pars. So on a more lucky day I could have saved 4 shots.
So it was my turn to win. We got round in about 1.5 hours so thats a good thing to do to keep golf ticking over in the dark winter months. The course was not too bad despite the extremely wet weather we have had of late.
Good fun and we will no doubt be back!
