Hayling GC - Wednesday 3rd February

The amount of curries you munch through Robin I'd have thought that strong wind was the least of your worries - your follow through, now that's a different matter! :smirk:
 
Was it an into wind on the first Robin?

Yes, took my mini-driver to it but pushed it to the right like 90% of everyone's drives, managed to chip on from between the gorse & path for a 4. Nice par on the 2nd then a bogey on 3 and double bogey on 4 as the cold & wind was taking effect but I was wondering what all the fuss was about as I was scrambling and scoring well, and then boom, the wind was across us left to right and I just couldn't cope with it, as I tried to drive into the wind out left for it to come in I just ended up coming across the ball slightly, as most were doing and it just sailed high and right, I scored 1 point over those next 5 holes and lost 2 balls 😓

I coped a lot better on the back 9 with back to back pars on 14 & 15 even though I lost my 3rd ball on the 13th after going wide right down the bank onto the 14th fairway but I forgot how narrow the fairway was up on the 13th embankment and tried to put it back up their only to fly right over it and stick it in the sea 😂😂

Shame I messed up the 18th and lost my 4th ball as 26 points would have been a decent recovery score after only getting 9 on the front, but after seeing everyone else's scores I didn't fare that badly for my first time round not really knowing the course, but it was very tough!

You can just make out the 3-ball in front to a small landing zone!

Looks a lovely track, hopefully D4S will arrange a few more meets down there.

Fish I reckon you might have scored a few more points if you spent less time with the camera 😀

Glad you did though always good to see pics. 👍
 
I thought they were guaranteeing dead flat calm and at least 65 degrees in bright sunshine :thup:

We did have a wind free day for one of these meets until Smiffy scoffed his curry............:confused:
