HTL
Tour Winner
Well we completed it. And also did it in style!
The Downshire Golf Complex provided us with spectacular hospitality and made the day extremely enjoyable.
I was picked up by Homer and the Mrs at 3:30am I was in a bit of a state after 45min sleep and a stinking hang over after beers after work escalated into a monster beers session up in London town.
We were on the tee at 4:30am and breezed through two rounds with no other on the course. We then stopped for lunch and were dying to get back out there. The shower plan didn’t happen so decided to test out our friendship and play some seriously smelly Golf in the afternoon. The second two rounds were still averaging 3 hours with the marshals driving ahead of us in buggies and asking people to let us through. This was the key to our success as the course was busy and also proved beneficial to the charity pot with people often reaching into their pockets to donate money.
The scores were neck and neck and decided on the 72nd hole. I can’t remember the exact scores for each round but the final scores were HTL 140 points + Homer 139 points. Homer took a strong lead after 2 rounds, however with me scoring two 40 point rounds to finish I snatched victory from Homers grasp.
We both played some spectacular Golf shots. Homers highlight included being 3 off a tee then cracking a drive straight down the middle and draining a 140 yard iron into the hole. I fell in love with my new Mizuno MP Fli Hi 4 iron and used it whenever possible, I was easily over 200 yards off the tee with it and creamed some about 240 yards so the woods took a major back seat. The victory was sealed by myself chipping in several times for birdies or par saves.
To conclude my rambles and get back to watching the Lions get dicked on by the Bocks, It was a fantastic day and can’t wait to do it again next year.
