We had our first medal of the year today and it was looking like a nice morning, sunny, slight breeze etc
Have had a long series of .1's so was really looking to break the run
we were all playing well, even Imurg and at the turn I had shot 44 (net 35) messed up a par 3 with a 5 when it should have been a 3, but not too bad
messed up the 11th with a lost ball for a 7, but crucially missed at least 3 short putts that I would normally have eaten for breakfast , 1 for a birdie 2 and ended up with 89 (net 69), so I beat par (70), but ended up bang on SSS (69) so unless CSS moves i'll be at the top end of buffer.
The positives ... I played to my handicap for the first time in a while
Broke 90 gross
Hit some nice shots
only hit 3 truly awful shots
Might feature in my Division placings
In a Stableford equivilant to 37 points
The Negatives... missing short putts
Just brings it home how fine the line is between having a good round (which I did) to having a round that gets you cut, as you have to beat par by 2 because of the SSS
CVG scored a net 68 so he should get a miniscule cut and Imurg just missed out on buffer so gets a .1 back
If only a couple of those putts had rolled in.............................................
looking forward to the New Golf Thinking Event to see if we can improve things between the ears
