Went out for my first round today after what is now 8 weeks of not being on the turf. The venue was Montrose medal course, 2 fools thinking they would brave the links on a fine day.
On the first tee there was a 3 ball just coming on behind us, brain goes into a wee bit of overdrive, hows my feet, am i standing the right distance away, to many thoughts, then my mate tells me to just hit the effing thing. Head clears and smack away it goes straight down the middle 230ish. Nerves are now settled and away we go. Front 9 went well 5 over and then we make the turn and it all goes t*ts up, 15 strokes in 2 holes
ah here we go back to some normality. After this it goes ok some pars and some bogies then the the gorse decides to swallow 2 balls off the tee end up with a 9, a couple of holes pass then i decide to break out the 3 wood, oh dear the divot almost passes the ball but not to be defeated i trundle up to the ball 3 wood still in hand and give it a good clout with no divots woohoo mate asks why i could not have done that in the first place, to this i just shrug my shoulders and walk on, if i knew the answer i wouldnt be playing of 20!!.
So any way end up 14 over for the back 9 for a grand total of 90 gross net 70, most enjoyable and not to bad for no golf in 8 weeks, and to top it off i beat my mate by 1 stroke once hcp's were taken off and for some reason he called me a bandit!!
