Birchy
Money List Winner
Played in my first handicap qualifying medal this morning. Stood on the first tee at 7:36am and i will be honest i was absolutley bricking my pants! I always take every round serious and play the best i can but this was something else, hands were shaking 
I hit my first tee shot and woosh off it went straight onto the middle of the green and i thought mm nice relax, Wrong! I then 4 putted somehow. Followed that with and 8 on the par 5 second and i was wondering where the hell i was. Proceeded to have a rocky front 9 battling my nerves but managed to settle down just before the turn to end up with 49 after 9 holes.
The 10th hole is beast that ive had a run in with a few times and this time was no different. I sliced my tee shot into Sherwood forest down the right and feared the worst. After hitting a provisional smoking down the middle
i luckily managed to find my first tee shot and got it out with the second attempt and stumbled to a 7. At this point i thought here we go again. Suprinsingly i managed to pull myself together though and ended up with a reasonable back 9 score of 44 which also included a 2 on the 17th 
. Ended up with gross 93 nett 73 which i was reasonably happy with after the trouble i had!
Sat in the clubhouse with a pint afterwards and thought what a roller coaster of emotions that was! Not my best score ever but a very enjoyable day and I cant wait to do it all again! Roll on Thursdays mid week medal!!
