On a cold brighyt morning we assembled at High Legh, me in my thermals, Gary in a tee shirt!
There was still a lot of frosty on the ground when we started, happily all the tees and greens were in use although the fairways were wet in places. Gray and Birchy played really well on the first 9, Gary was +2 after 8 & Birchy +5 both well below handicap and then we played the 9th, A large tree forced drives to the right and both ended up in a mess and ended up scoring 8 each. Birchy scored 20 points, Gary 18 on the front 9 despite the 9th. Neither scored as well on the back nine and they both finished with 34 points.
Myself, well I hit my drive and lomg irons reasonably well but my short game was atrocious, often taking 4 or even 5 to get down when with 50yds and less of the green, although I did birdie one of the par 4s, my sorry total was a mere 28 points.
The course is pretty flat in the main, with quite a number of streams and ponds and also a good number of doglegs to make it more interesting, Its is also quite short (SSS of 66 against a par of 70 off the yellows).
It was an enjoyable day although we took well over 4 hours due mostly to the slow play of the 4 ball in front of us.
Thanks to Birchy and Gary for the company.

. As the report above states i was playing solid until the 9th but after playing that like a tool proceeded to stumble round the back 9 like a pensioner who had dropped his glasses.
