After yesterday's 34 points and first qualifying competition following 8 weeks off , my 34 points got me a .3 handicap index reduction. Maybe good that the wheels came off on the last 3 holes and a blob on 14th ??
Monthly stableford yesterday. Feeling very confident after my rounds on Friday and Saturday. Didn't hit it well warming up and made a 4 on the tough par three opening hole (225 off the whites). Everyone is happy with a four there and move on. I made a monstrous birdie across the slope on our 4th and got to the 6th tee level par gross. Hit it in a bunker, played poor recovery and so didn't score. Five (net four) on SI 2 7th and then three putted from nowhere. Still out in 19 points then a total collapse on the back nine and lost the tempo and timing. Back in 12 for a miserable 31 points. Has the good run ended before my knockout match? Don't think so and putting it down to one of those days and three games in three days
Is this the same round as post #10994, cos they sound identical!
Group trip to Worcester for the weekend saw us play twice at Bransford GC (we were staying at the hotel on the same site). Stableford comp between ourselves on the Saturday. Nice consistent round minimising errors as I scored 37 points playing off 28. Highlight being a birdie 4 on the par 5 12th.
Sunday - we played 2 man Texas Scramble. Terrible round for my pair as we really struggled losing a good number of balls in the various water hazards there - I'll blame being hungover. Lovely course but found it long as a short hitter particularly the par 3s. Greens very quick but likely aided by me being incredibly clumsy with the putter
