London Region - King Of Kings 2014

[sawtooth]

If it's any consolation Sawtooth, in the Club Champs last year I was just over the back in two, maybe 10 foot from the pin. Stubbed two chips. Bladed the third to 20 foot. Two putted. 8.

Yeah I knew I should have hit 6I approach as soon as I hit it.

Its good to see that other people are superb at making a complete mess of great positions on a hole as well. Its turning into my forte at the moment :rofl:

We all have the capacity to have melt downs you're certainly not alone Birchy

 

[sawtooth]

That's almost identical to my normal way of playing a hole Great position in 2 then walk off shaking head thinking why did I try and get up and down for birdie :angry:

I blame my playing partners for not trying to talk me out of it. They could see that I was hacking it around all day then suddenly out of nowhere I decided to take on a shot that Mickleson would have refused. I guess they didn't want the penalty for giving advice?

Shots 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9

I think I need a short game lesson

Looks like you hold a tester for the nine though Sean, so every cloud ........

Yes very pleased with the 6 inch putt for the nine

On reflection, it seemed the proper thing for you to do! I'd had a 9 on the 4th. TotP had had 'fun' elsewhere, so you unconsciously just 'fitting in'! Made it easy to 'commit' to the drives on the next hole though didn't it!

Many thanks for the organisation Jimbob.

Thanks for TomTom for getting me there even when I refused to go back down the 'Turn around where possible' and head back down the A40 - went past the Perivale turnoff, knowing there was a big advertising hoarding 'pointing' the way! And i could even see the course!

!st time playing Strokeplay for a while. I'd forgotten how having a 9 on the card quite early takes the pressure off!
Nice London style course with greens that are indeed quick - and will be even quicker shortly! Thank heaven most were pretty flat as slopes could make them monsters - as my 3-putt from 18 inches demonstrated. !st time playing Strokeplay for a while. I'd forgotten how having a 9 on the card quite early takes the pressure off!

Great company - thanks TotPs and Sawtooth - and entertainment as usual at these events and good to put names to faces. 1 hit with G1bbo's Icygolf wedge has added them to my shopping list for the year too!


Having witnessed it, I can 'confirm' how sorry Sawtooth was! :rofl:

That really got to you didn't it :ears:


p.s Well done Jimbob-IER these rocketbladez tours are just getting better

 

[Foxholer]

That really got to you didn't it :ears:

:rofl:

Yes and No. Only really after the round! Forgotten by the next hole as nothing going to change the score, but a bit of 'buzz' disappeared. The 3-putt on 12 was actually a far worse 'crime'!
