Nearly But Not Quite

[GB72]

Went out for my first medal round of the year today with pretty low expectations as I had played awfully yesterday. Not the greatest front nine, out in 48 so just about playing to my handicap but was scrambling for that. Not sure what they put in the half time bacon sandwich but something clicked after that. By the end of the 17th I had only taken 37 on the back 9 so needed a par on the last to break 90 for the first time. Sadly the fifteen foot but for par finished an inch right so tapped in for a round of dead on 90, 42 shots on the back 9. Not sure how that leaves me standing in the medal as the computer was down and so just handed in the card but a net 63 must be in the running. Not bad for the first medal of the year and to put in a competitive card on a 27 handicap is pretty pleasing. Just a bit disappointed that I did not break 90.

Good shootin there pal. Good luck with the result, a nice cut for the start of the season then.

Always good to finish well. I can always take positives from a better back 9 if the front was poor.

That's looking like a 2.8 cut at least then! Well done - the round in the 80's will soon follow.

I would say that has to be in with a shout. Good shooting and a nice cut coming

Nice Shooting,a cut is on the cards, but also maybe a first win.

Anyone know how long it takes to update the howdidido website as the wait is killing me.

Top man. Always nice to get in the winners circle. Do you get anything apart from the pot of money. We have a little prize on prize giving night for each months medal winners (in each division)

 

[GB72]

No idea what, if anything, I win. Never had occasion to go to a prize giving so we will see.
