Well I can't think of many better ways to celebrate my birthday. As soon as the date was announced I was going to be there and I wasn't disappointed. The day seemed to run effortlessly, but I know that is because of the great deal of organisation beforehand. Thanks to Robin and Richard and to all who assisted you.
I've only played one heathland course before and I was expecting to lose several balls, but Jake from GM had a great eye for finding them in the heather. It was only on our 17th (the 4th) that I pulled tee shot which even Jake couldn't locate.
I found the long stuff on each of the first seven holes, but was still on 14 points after them with some good recoveries. Of course, I then failed to score after my first straight drive of the day and my attempts at hacking the ball out of deep heather by the 14th green was recorded for posterity by the GM cameraman. All of the holes were interesting and I was pleased to have recorded a respectable score on my first round on a Top 100 course.
Many thanks to Jake, BogeyBoy and Homer for their company and playing their part in making the day a special one.
The talk from Scott was moving and it really hit home what all of the fundraising means to these guys and I felt privileged that attending the day had helped in some small way.
Looking forward to next year...
