An open at Alnmouth village today, a 9 hole links course. Very windy, first round in two months. Boy did it show . I had the touch of a camel around the greens, certainly didn't get the hang of the very fast greens.

Painfully slow, 4.5hrs for a short course, far too much standing around. Decent off the tee, okay at times with fairway woods, the rest ............

Feeling thoroughly battered now but still nice to get out

18 holes today. Right in the middle of the really nasty weather. 17-18mph winds and driving rain. Kept going though and carded a 78. Which given the conditions I am happy with. Some silly mistakes like forgetting that the wind was playing 2 clubs minimum into .. definitely not 2 clubs down it ( how does that work??) but all positive signs my winter work is on track.
Course greens were in good shape despite a light tining..

They do say the wind has twice as much effect hitting into it than it does wind behind, don't they? That's consistent with what I normally see. Especially with my floaty, weak ball-striking.
