What has been your most difficult round of golf ever and why?
Extra bonus points will be awarded if your horror story is unrelated to weather conditions.
I'll start off with a round with some mates at Lochwinnoch GC outside Glasgow. Perfect conditions - dry and sunny but not too warm - nice gentle breeze.
The course was in excellent condition and was a credit to it's staff and members who were extremely hospitable.
My issue was with the course designer who saw fit to build a course on the side of a mountain. 15 holes are uphill ( or it seemed like that ) and the 3 finishing holes are all downhill but you then need to walk back up the hill to get to the next tee. As if the physical exertion required to play the course wasn't enough, as the first 15 holes all wind their way across the hill and back again even the straightest of drives is virtually guaranteed to catch the slope and run across 3 adjacent fairways.
A hard days golf ( but a good one!)
Scored in the low thousands.
