Today was my first round of golf since losing the Help for Heroes day on count back. I woke up late so had to rush to the course, no usual warm up. It was a Xmas Spirit #3, its a competition run toward Christmas where there are 8 qualifying rounds, and your best 5 rounds are combined for the overall prize. I missed the first 2, so though I'd play today.
I've always been now to never be able to finish off a round, if I have 35 points with 3 to play, most of the time I will struggle to finish with anything over 38. After a blob on the first, I made a few of good up and downs to get back to level 2's going down the 5th. A birdie at 2 and 5 was a great start. After holing my birdie putt on 5, I told my playing partner that I'm fed up of not seeing a round out and that today I was going to smash it.
19 points after 9 followed by some of the best golf I have ever played.. Straight par's from 10-16, sloppy putt on 17 for bogey and finished with a par at 18. +1 gross for the back 9... 19 points out 25 points in. 44 points!
Short game was amazing, sticking my approaches close to the pin and lagging puts next to the flag..
Sadly, the score computer was setup for todays comp, so I will have to wait to find out where I finished.. It is a qualifier, so depending on CSS, I could see my handicap drop by down to 15. 82 strokes in all.
