Hall of Famer
Had a real horror show in the monthly stableford scoring a "massive" 30 points. I started OK but three putted 2 and 4 which didn't help. The problem was I had one of those days when everything felt off. The timing was out, the swing felt too long and loose and I couldn't guarantee if I was going to hit left or right on any given shot.
My chipping was much better following the lesson yesterday but my putting was erratic especially on the front nine. However I'll be back especially after the par 5 last. Hit a crap drive right, a poor second just onto the fairway. Took a hybrid to try and hit it up towards the green but short of the pond guarding the right hand side. Hit another crap shot and thinned it and it was heading right into bandit country but hit the only big tree and ricocheted across the fairway into the light rough.
I'm now playing 4 from 200 yards away and decided he who dares and took my 5 wood to take the green on. Hit it great but got a bit of draw and missed just short of pin high, short sided and about 15 yards left. The patio was pretty packed and I decided that rather than just pop it on and two putt for 7 (net 6) I'd try the high lob shot my coach had me working on. Opened up the 58 degree and took a commited swing. It roase like and eagle, landed like a butterfly, took a hop forward, rolled and dropped. Cue the applause from the gallery and just a par on the card!
