Hi all
This weekend we had our club championship (2 day event).
The high's: I won the ladies nett trophy
now the low's: firstly, I had 2 of the worse rounds I have played this year, day 1 nett 83, day 2 nett 77, I couldn't get the ball off the ground at all, my driving (tee shots, not the car) has gone all haywire and my iron play has gone down the pan.
secondly, the course was in a terrible state considering the good weather we have had over the last week, the fairways may aswell have been light rough, the light rough was so thick you could have dropped a football in it and lost it and the tee boxes looked as though they hadn't seen a mower in ages, the walk ways to the tee boxes were like fields, the only good part of the course were the greens which were great, needless to say that a letter is being sent to the course owner and head greenkeeper expressing the members utter disappointment and disgust of the course this last week particularly with club championship this weekend, the most important competition of the year, nobody came in with a below par score on either day, which is very unusual as pass years the course has always been primed the week or so before club championship so it is at it's very best and 2/3 members always come in under par.
I appreciate that the greenkeeping staff have been short staffed this week but surely you would have thought the course would have been a priorty not the resurfacing of the car park.
Lastly it rained today and I got soaked.
But I am still a happy bunny knowing I will get my name up on the board and have got a lovely crystal bowl to show off.
