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

Out early this morning for the first time in a few weeks. Started well and was +1 after 5 holes (put it in a green side bunker and didn’t get up and down). Messed up the 6th so picked up to ruin the good start. Played the next three holes ok to finish the front 9 on 17 points.
Back 9 I rode the bogey train for too much of it and didn’t take advantage of good shots other than a nice 2 on our 14th with a 15 foot putt. Ended up on 33 points overall playing off 6 so wasn’t too bad in the end.
