Got a prize

[davidy233]

Played Strathmore seniors open today - my first ever seniors event - though I could have played in this one five years ago (over 50s) - I'm up point 1 after poor first nine and ok back nine

Partnered by two guys from. Blairgowrie (5 & 6 hcp) who each had a good nine - one was level par back nine.

Cold, wet but enjoyed it - hit a wedge to 2 feet to be nearest pin on the short par 3 (and ended up with a 3)

Got home - changed and out to play in captain v vice captain - soaked - dried off and into clubhouse for free food and a free beer

Checked phone and noticed I had missed call and a voicemail - went outside to check it and when a girls voice said "hi David Strathmore golf course here" I thought excellent - I've got a nearest the hole prize

But it was not to be - she told me I'd won first prize in the raffle - which I think is a fourball and lunch at any time

Not bad for a ten-twelve pound entry fee and a quid for a raffle ticket

Had worse days

Not bad at all! The only thing golfing wise I have ever 'won' is a place in Kings of Distance. Hopefully my luck is changing!

Nice one David :thup:

What did you think of Strathmore?

 

[davidy233]

I liked it - couple of cracking holes

Just phoned up and raffle prize is 36 holes for a fourball with two buggies and catering

In less good news I got beaten on my 2 foot nearest pin - guys shot hit the nearest pin marker and ended up two inches from hole - he told pro it was heading for back of green until it hit the marker

Cheers Homer - got even luckier on Saturday afternoon when i got to photograph my football team go top of the league when our rivals unexpectedly lost - the cheers for goals going in against them were louder than the cheers for our goals.

So on Saturday I'm hopefully taking pictures of a guy I've know for getting on for 20 years lifting a trophy and the prospect of being back in the top league next season.

Golf will very much take a back seat for the rest of this week - but on the bright side for my golf next weekend will (hopefully - There's another three weeks of play offs if we blow it) mark the end of my shooting of professional football for the season which will give me more time for golf.
