Hope everybody has had a great weekend. I played in our monthly stableford on Saturday. First hole I lipped out for birdie then pushed 1foot par putt so ended up with a bogey 5. Bit annoying but a 5 was not to bad on a tricky first. Had 2 other birdie chances go begging but dropped one on our par 5 9th. Gave me a front 9 of 19 points. The only blemish being a blob on our 4th. Hit my tee shot OB.
Back 9 was very steady with 2 points per hole up to 14. Then made 2 birdies a par and was informed I was on 40 points as we walk onto the 18th (despite after 9 saying I didn't want to know my exact score). Hit a great drive on 18. A 550 yard par 5. Then hit a pitch to leave me 100 in. Its a tough hole with water from 100 up to the green on the left hand side and some small trees on the right. My bad shot is a hook so I didn't want to take on the green in 2 and chance the water. Hit my 3rd just right of the flag and dropped it in the bunker. Ended up 3 putting!!!! So just the one point for a 7. Bit of a weak finish. But I was really happy with my game for the day.
Cards in and scores entered in the computer. Checked how did I do last night to see I had been dq'd due to no signature. What a numpty.
The only good thing was I've hit my target for the season to get from 16 down to 12. I had been cut earlier after a medal win to 13.7. After Saturday I'm now 12.1. Very happy with that
You can be sure I won't forget to sign a card in the future. I always go over everything on the car I mark and have never missed a trick on June before. I guess the excitement of a good round got the better of me. Probably done me out of £30/40 in the pro shop too. Never mind. I'm just buzzing to have hit my goal.
