Well played. Could you resist checking how the 'Facebook posters' faired? ?Great day today. First round of the club championships. Groups are done in handicap order, but I had a nice group with two fellers I hadn't met before, but both were excellent company. I had a bit of a horror start, bogey, double, double, double, all of them with three putts. Felt like it was over before it began really, but I made a birdie on the 5th - that gave me hope which was quickly snuffed out by doubles on the 6th and 7th as well. Parred the 8th and then another birdie on the 9th somehow gave me hope that I wasn't totally dead. 44 front nine which was two over handicap I think.
Back nine was just so much tidier. Four pars, four bogeys and just the one double, so the end result was net level par! By the time I handed my card in there were only two people who were under net par, so I was sitting 3rd. Plenty of people still to play after me though, so we'll see. Tee times for tomorrow are done in gross order I believe, but an 84 should mean I don't have to get up too early thankfully! And another round like today and I should be right in contention for the net prize.
My fellow group members didn't fare so well unfortunately. One had a cracking front nine bar one triple, but he lost the plot on the back and ended up 8 over or so. The other just never got going and didn't make a par until the 15th (and 18th). But both top blokes and we had a great day.
lol, not fussed. One of them is not even a member of our club I don't think.
I have played with this lad though.
Maybe he ate too much
Not sure backing up is an option wearing compression boxers
