Well I shed a tear, even if you didn't.
(I hope your game goes to pieces)
Top man. That'll sort the handicap out but what will you do going forward if you don't play in comps? I thought there was a limit (stand to be corrected) on how many supplemental cards you can put in. Is there a reason you don't play in the comps
played at tie in the scratch Knock out last night against a you lad off +2, so effectively giving away 6 shots as its scratch.
He finished School last year and is having a year off to play before going to Uni in September
He knocked it 60 yards past me on the first and had wedge in, where as i had to hit 3 iron as well as i could to get to the front edge of the new first green, he birdied. 2nd is 451 he hit 3 iron and 5 iron, where i was driver and 3 wood.. again as well as i can hit it to the front edge. raced my putt past and missed coming back, so 2 down after 2.
he took 3 iron off the tee on the 3rd but hooked it into the Horrocks Bunker on 3, so i took driver (380) and hit a good one and was comfortably on in two some 10 feet away and he in 3 but just inside me. Holed it to go back to 1 d. 4th hit a horrendous pull, which was heading for the beach, my oppo pushed it and was in the hollow back right. when we got up to the green some walkers informed me my shot had hit the rocks and bounced into the right hand bunker. he duffed it onto the green i hit a nice bunker shot to about 3 feet and he missed and i holes to be ASq. i won 5th with a birdie, he won the 4th with one, i then won 7th with a par after he found the heather on the left off the tee. i won the 8th and 9th to be two up at the turn he looked worried
it was here though his length paid off, the new bunkers on the 10th mean i have to lay up or take the risk... of still having to play it as a 3 shotter, hit my hybrid just short of the RH bunker. he flew them, hit my 3 wood just short of the green, get down to his ball which is some 140 from the front of the green according to the old Sprinkler head yardages, so 160 from the flag for him, down wind wegde 10 feet from the flag, i sent mine 6 ft past but holed the return, he sank the eagle, it would be nice to be able to play the hole like that drive and wedge on a 500 yards par 5. halved the 11th he won 12 with par after i found the bunker with my 2nd. 13th hit hit drive and SW, its a 430 uphill and SI1, i was my sunday best drive and 3 iron
16th was it for me, he hit it so far down he was just chipping over the green side bunkers to the flag, i again hit the driver as well as i could but still had 7 iron which went long. left my putt short, but a gimme, he holed for birdie.
3 and 2 loss, but didn't disgrace myself against a much better player, he admitted afterwards he was worried after 9
won a bet too, my mate who had played with him in the club champs at the weekend bet me i wouldn;t win a hole
It was a good game against a very nice young man, played in a great sprite.
its great to challenge yourself against better players, shows how good match play is, even scratch. i don't have much chance in these things at my club esp with so many plus handicap players.
That ones holding my biscuit.You do realise you have 2 thumbs
So you are chipping out of the trees with a 9 iron instead of a 8ðŸ‘ðŸ‘😂
