Never think what I just thought...

Playing in a medal this morning and feeling good and relaxed. Played a decent front nine to be 3 over gross at the turn. Some good golf coupled with some steady putting.
Started the back nine on the shortest hole at 109 yards and with a combination of a bad tee shot and a stupid decision I walked off with a 6... Managed to somewhat steady the ship a bit with a couple of bogeys and a few pars...

Then, it happened... Walking on to the 16th tee I thought "here, I could just get away with this today..."
Bang, triple bogey 7 on 16th with 3 putts... Terrible tee shot and then fatted the approach and thinned a wedge.
Followed by Bogey, bogey (the 17th needed a miracle 35ft putt uphill to even rescue that bogey)...
18th I thought I had hit a great 3rd shot pitching 15yrds short to see it bounce up and then roll across a baked green and up on to the second tier leaving a 30ft down hill, down tier putt which I left woefully short and then missed a 7 footer by a mm

The result... 38 out and 48 back in, so still not a bad result considering my mini-collapse. Nett 74 and leading when I left, doubtful that it will be a winning score but still some positives to take from it.

My advice, never think you have it sussed

Hope everyone else managed to hold it together in the conditions today.

At least you can take some positives from the round mate. Just a reminder how hard this game is & how hard it is to keep it going for 18holes.

Absolutely mate. Only 20 degrees heat but humid as hell. Think I can probably benefit from taking more nutritious food out with me. Tje old Mars bars and isotonic drinks just don't seem to work any more.

its a tough mental game isnt it.

In a trophy comp I started to formulate my short acceptance speech standing on the 18th Tee on the Kings course level par gross, walked off with a 12 you couldn't put that in a movie.....:rofl:


it ain't over until the thinly challenged woman sings..........

whats even funnier (sadder) is a few days later in the Tuesday Medal, same course, I was +1 on the 18th and shot an 11

playing partners now say if they see me on the 18th tee with a good score and driver in my hand they'll break it :rofl:
