The Beige Bridesmaid.....Final of the seniors matchplay today, after yesterday's runner up position I had a 0.3 cut which meant I was giving another shot so just the index 18 where there were no shots.
Started well and 3 up after 3 but lost the next two and turned 2 up.
Lost 10 and 11 to be A/S, halved 12 and 13 and won 14 with a birdie after a lovely 5 wood from 200 yards out.
Lost the 15th to a very good up and down for net birdie but was gifted the 16th to be 1 up with 2 to play.
Hit two decent shots on the 17th and was about 25 feet short of the green and opted to putt, as anyone who has seen me play knows how iffy my chipping is. Bad mistake, made a right hash of it for a 6 and lost the hole to a nett 5.
Halved the 18th so onto extra holes, just short in two with opponent about 12 feet away for 3 net 2, felt I needed to hole mine and opted for the chip, duffed it 12 inches, lipped out with the next but my opponent now had two putts for the win and sealed it.
An enjoyable match but one I feel I let slip away.
Twice the runner up in two days.
Burn HimVisiting Scotland this weekend, managed to get off the leash for an afternoon and have just played the Seafield course at Belleisle Park in Ayrshire. Don't think I played great. I always play too quick when I'm on my own.
I was amazed at how quick groups are to let you play through up here. Back home you can expect to be held up for 3 or 4 holes before they begrudgingly let you through, here, I had already been waved through by 4 different groups by the 7th tee! While this is admirable of course, it also contributed to me rushing more shots as I felt like I was playing at 100mph.
Managed 80 for 35 points (short-ish course, only received 10 shots), but I'm not going to lie, I had two Mulligans for stupid shots I wasn't concentrating on, and a free drop when I was distracted trying not to hit some 'wee neds' (as they call them up here) who had jibbed onto the course on the left hand side! Quite an enjoyable course though, would like to play it when it wasn't muddy and I wasn't slicing driver like a tit, as there were a few driveable greens. Weather was class as well, bit of breeze but the sun was out, played in shirt sleeves.
