Finally broke 100 today with a 98
Shot 46 and 52, front 9 was great and i was duffing a few but still managing to keep the scores down... The back 9 started all wrong with a 9, 8 and a 7 on a par 3.
Added up my scores on the 14th again and knew from there 4 bogeys would get me to 99, cue concentration again... started with a double oo:, then a par put me back on track before another bogey on the 17th:thup:. So it was all on the last hole.
18th hole is par 4 90 degree dog-leg right over a river, just cleared the minium 170yrd carry as i hit my tee shot to high; 145yrds left in and i try to rip it from the rough and the ball went off at 45degree angle - i knew my head went a bit but i had a fair lie on the next shot so relaxed for and pitched the 65 yards in and then drained the 7ft putt for another par.
Its been a long time coming, 3 years and ~30 rounds as i tended to only ever play 6 rounds or so over winter before going off to other things - going to try and stick with it though this year.
Great start to the weekend. Just need 2 more card now for a H/C
