Just got back from having 9 holes at my place. Played 18 yesterday morning with a few mates, lost 3 balls on one hole and generally played terribly.
This afternoon, went out about half 4 with a 2 ball in front and a 2 ball in front of them. No one was behind me so instead of trying to keep pace and get round 18, I dropped a couple of extra balls when I got around the greens and had some chipping practice whilst waiting for the next hole to clear. Also played 3 balls on the par 3s.
The result was positive, generally getting up and down and ended up going 6 over through 9 holes with my "proper" ball which I always hit first on every shot. Was particularly consistent with my long irons and off the tee either, so it was nice to be able to keep the scores down even when out of position.
All that said, I doubt it will last!
As an aside, although it was still a bit damp, the rain we had last week has done the course no end of good. Greens are running well and the fairways are starting to become less patchy. Best move I ever made.
