Sun 19th April 2015 - Forgot the Trophy for 18 Holes at Dummer

An unusual weekend with 2 games of golf with M. We had a tee time just after 1pm. The weather was nice but with a cold strong East wind. We took our usual 2 quids worth of practice balls and had time for a bunker practice (No sure it made any difference). We were off 10 mins after the last in a competition so we never saw anyone. There was no one behind either!

We both started off ok but I had a nice 1 putt to win the first. On the 2nd M went well left but managed to get on the green in 2. I had a bunker on my second but managed another 1 putt to draw the hole. M then won the next 2 and  we drew the 5th. So it was very close as usual. At the end of the front 9 I was just 1 up.  M was not using his lethal 3W so it often came down to a chipping and putting competition and I came off better. Winning the trophy for the 2nd time in a week. (A good job because I had forgotten it!). Again we were affected badly by the wind which made quite a difference. My score is click here.

My putting was +3 which I was pleased with as it included 3 unwanted 3, putts. I had 7 proper golf scores but only 1 par (the 16th due to wind behind). I only messed up 1 hole, the 15th into the wind and I went into the trees and should have taken a penalty, went short, over and 3 putt. I lost 1 in the lake due to a daft mistake playing from GUR instead of taking a drop.

These are my goals: less 3 putts. less short+over, less short+short. This could have saved me 3+2+1.


Bunker practice .. no style!

M counting the cost!
