Saving the best until last

[AMcC]

Having played all year since the snow departed in January I had my best scoring and general play round of the year today, on a fairly bleak and very damp December morning.

Today was the Christmas comp for our winter sweep and 9 of us were brave enough to go out.
Playing off 17 I get 3/4 handicap and 13 shots. I was level par to the turn with two birdies and two bogies. I birdied ten and struggled a little to the finish after that. Still I managed a total of 39 points stable ford and won the competition. It was winter tees and big greens and very wet, still drying out !!

My work with my new v easy has helped my chipping greatly and would advise anyone to try any wet weather gloves. I used a Mizuno pair today for first time ever and they were simply amazing.

Hope I don't wait as long next year for my best round.

Good news how was the course holding up in all this rain?

It was holding up not too badly, fairly sandy base for most of the course, 7 and 13 were a little soft otherwise fairways were reasonably firm. There are a couple of flooded areas in the rough !! A case in point being when I played 12 yesterday and I drove in to the right hand rough, not too far in but no ball to be seen but plenty of water and very soft mud.

Thanks FT.

Great to finish with a win!

To be fair to Alan his 17.4 handicap at Bogside could easily be as low as 13 elsewhere. Bogside is a tough tough cookie, miss the fairway and generally your goosed!
