Bank holiday Monday 21st April open (Prestatyn GC)

[Liverbirdie]

We got off to a good start:-

2 points, 2 points(cos Birchy 3 putted), 3 points on the par 5, then I birdied that 468 yards into the wind par 4 (for 4 points) and thought, aye,aye-here we go. Then we both scored 4 x 1 pointers on the next four holes, to take the wind out of our sails.

Still enjoyed it, but it was hard getting the clubbing right, with having to land the ball 20-30 yards before to just stay on the greens. I parred the last 3 to finish with a flourish. Tough holes into the wind around 6-9.

What were your highlights?

Good man. I was eyeing up some of my wife's bottled lagers this afternoon, but decided against it.. Thursday night could get messy though...

What were your highlights?

My highlights were scoring 7 points in the first 3 holes and it was downhill from there. My partner birdied 16 and18 with the ball finishing only 2 inches short for an eagle on the last.

Did you manage to play to the correct green on the par 5 seventh? There are not many courses that have a choice of 2 completely different greens.

I will be honest I aimed in the total different direction on at least 3 holes, I found the layout a bit confusing at times although I wasn't having a great day.

Nearly getting an eagle on the last was a good crack! That hole was dead into the wind so your PP must of give it some real beef to get it up there!

He had 232 from the light rough on the left for his second shot and went just off the back with his rescue club, not far short of the OOB. His chip back on finished just short and would have tied our match up if it had dropped.

Any idea what won?

That's two cracking shots, not surprised it went through the greens were like rock! They were still quite slow too which was a bit strange.

42 points was the winner apparently.

Yes, the speed of the greens took some getting used to. They were cutting them when we got there but most were deceptively slow.

Played with the same partner a couple of years ago and we had 42 points and he was on the card with 41 of them.

Some birdie that on 18. After a driver and well hit 3 wood off the deck, I still had 84 to go, whilst my partner was on the OOB road to nowhere.

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Haha. Another few yards amd he could have been on the practice ground which is where I need to spend more time.

Your birdie on 4 was pretty impressive, expecially as we had 2 blobs on it. It's not an easy hole even wind with.
