With M and A as part time caddy with a photography habit.
Its was just after M's birthday so we have now been playing for at least 4 years. We may have hoped to be better by now! Its was 20 quid starting just after 12 following a 2 buggy 4 ball and followed by a lone golfer. This position stayed in place the whole way round and we never had to wait for long.
The weather was fine just a little cold. The fairways, tees and greens were in great shape, the best we have played in the rainy season. The bunkers were not bad either as I found out on several occasions.
This was the final in the Xmas 2015 competition and M was adrift by 12 holes. So would the comeback of the century be possible?
The 1st hole started off ok with us both on the green in 3. M made a nice 2 putt and I made 3. On the 2nd we drew, and on the 3rd I made it 1 all. Then the surge began. I got into a bit of trouble off the tee on the 4th and M made a par and then on the 5th M made a biddy (even though I managed a par) and then went on the rampage. He was hitting the ball well off the tee with his 3W and I could not find an answer. For some reason I was finding a lots of bunkers which is unusual. (and cost me). In the end I lost by 8 holes all due to M playing very well and posting one of his best all time scores. Fortunately (for me) the Xmas competition was won by Me for the 2nd year running. But only by 4 holes. My score is

To be fair the score was not as bad as might have been expected given the lack of games due to crap weather. My putting could have been 4 better avoiding 3 putts. I only made 3 proper golf scores which is unusually low. I messed up 4 holes. The 4th causes by a pathetic tee shot into the big ditch (should save 2). The 7th was caused by going in one bunker and out to another. (should save 2). The 9th was again cause by those bloody bunkers, out of a fairway bunker straight int a green side bunker. (should save 2). My final mess up was on the 16th from a good tee shot I put it in the lake and lost a ball. (should save 1). With these saved shots we would have had a closer game.
Great fun and good to be out playing again in 2015.
