Out early this morning - bloody freezing. First nine was a write-off - I went from shooting 8 over on Monday to being 8 over after four holes today. Wrapped up like the Michelin man I could hardly swing, greens were covered in frost so I couldn't putt and the sun was bright and low in the sky so I couldn't see anything either. 9 points at half way and 2 down in the match to my 12 handicap mate.
Back nine I was like a totally different golfer. It must have warmed up a little; swinging a bit more freely maybe, as I went level 2s for the first seven holes, including 4 pars when I'd made none on the first nine. Turned the match around to be 2 up with two to play. Was horrendously unlucky on our penultimate hole as my drive finished right up against a tree so I had no option but to take an unplayable drop; then I also had a putt which looked perfect for line and pace hit an icy chunk of mud which completely killed it. Lost that hole but scraped a half on the last for a 1 up victory. 16 point back nine so a moderately more respectable 25 in total.

Decent enough front 9 this morning, 17 points with one blob. Back 9 I was on fire, 23 points including 6 pars on the trot, 3 of which are the toughest on the course imo, 12, 14 and 16. Nearly made a mess of 18 but a decent chip over a bunker and nice putt saw me end with a respectable bogey.
83 gross, comfortably my best ever score. Forward tees helped, but on a cold wet morning with no run on the ball, I’m taking that
