I need some serious cheering up.
Today was a society-type day to what must be the nicest, posh-est, best-kept-est, friendliest, greenest, impressivest course in the county.
But something went wrong, big time, and I don't think I want to play golf again for a while.
1) the suggested format was Greensomes. I nearly lost it immediately with this idea. I was desperate to play this course, not hit 50 (or something) shots in a whole afternoons golf.
I veto-d this. Thank goodness.
2) the pins were crazy.....every time I hit the green, the hole was 3 paces away from a run-off or 3 yards from the very back edge of a 40-yard-long green.....middle of the green golf was not on the agenda.
3) the greens were SLOW, slow, SLOW
4) I can't even remember at least half the holes....this is so unlike me....I remember whole courses, but it was like 14 more-or-less identical holes, same trees, same view, no interesting hazards,
but worst of all
5) every last green was uphill from the fairway shot or pitch-in-shot apart from 2 par 3s. I walked up to the fringes, eyed up the shot, went back to the ball and saw nothing.....apart from 2/3rds of a flag-stick......I don't mind up-turned greens, not at all, they're fun.....but....whoever designed this course clearly rated blind pitch shots as the way to go.
and to think....12 hours ago, I wanted to join here!
Did I wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
I think I need to take a trip to a links and save myself from the blandest, most annoyingest course I can ever remember not enjoying.
