Almost beat my personal best in a downpour!

[Deke]

Hi forum.I had a really great round today at Alyth,where despite heavy rain for half my round I managed to score 18 over par,which is one off my previous best score(17 over at Monifieth).I managed 4 pars and I even got a round of applause from some older gents after making a 30ft putt on the second hole! This is my first round in 7 weeks due to my chest injury and it bodes well for the future.I hit a bucket of balls on the practice range before my round,and I was having no joy with woods or driver,so I only hit 3 hybrid and 4 iron off the tee and look what happened! I think a lesson in the long clubs is the next step,I am soooo chuffed! Few holes hold any fear for me now,I am pumped up for my next round.

well done deke,

how are things going with the t2hole training aid? I'm getting on a little better with the Yes putter but still not on a par with my Connemara putter, although she is a very nice looking putter

I am getting some good results with it,my normal shot is now a draw,and I can occasionally hit a fade too!

Good shooting mate. Better than my +20 today in a bounce game. Just could nit get myself together.
Well done, keep it going.

Great shooting in the circumstances. Build on it and go out next time and smash your PB

What made this achievement worse however,is that I had arranged to play with a member to hand in a card for handicap,but he cancelled due to the weather! :-(

Cheers bud,Alyth was holding up nicely in the rain and so was my putting! I made some belters from off the green with my new Yes Callie,I feel the Odyssey might be retiring!
