Early dart from work last night, 3 of us teed of at 4:15, course deserted.
As we finished the 1st we looked back and there was quite a crowd on the first tee, 'timed that well' we laughed to each other.
All playing quite well, playing at a good pace, keeping an eye on those behind (having been well versed in the importance of letting people through by the father-in-law).
We can see they are playing as three or four 2 balls.
As we are walking up the 7th after our drives, the leading group are doing the same down the parallel sixth, they're waving & shouting 'come on lads hurry up, get a move on'.
This continued most of the way round the rest of the course on pretty much every hole, shouting various comments like 'come on you’ve got to speed up lads'.
Only at one point did they have to wait for us, as we holed out on a par 3.
They seemed to be very good players from what we could see, hitting some cracking shots, but as far as we could see were very keen on gimme's!
By the 16th or so they were lucky not to get some serious verbals back.
I didn't think at any point it was feasible to let them through. Although at many points it would have been feasible to swear at them.
I would always let someone through if we've lost ground on group in front, and we were holding anyone up, but what else could we have done?
We finished at 7:15, and as we stood around and watched them hit to the green then pick their balls up, were quite restrained in a polite 'plenty of light left then?' comment.
Anyway I'm blaming the pressure for failing to break 90 again! A frustrating 91.
Spent last night considering my scores & have decided I can pick up most shots by improving my greenside chips to get nearer the flag.
That's my practice regime for the next 2 weeks.
I will shoot sub 90 before the end of May!
