Tigeresque

[FairwayDodger]

So after watching tiger last night I went out for the monthly medal today and seemed to be channelling his spirit.

Four birdies in a row from the second, after narrowly missing the birdie putt on the first, good putts to save par on 6 and 7 (didn't seem able to miss) before it came off the rails. 7 bogeys in a row from the 8th, pars on 15, 16, 17 before a closing bogey. It was blowing a hooley as well - the women's open has been suspended due to wind!

Disappointing in the end after that start but my best ever front nine on -2 and equaled my best medal score 73 (SSS 68) so will look with interest for the CSS coming out but have certainly done enough to get back down to 7!

:lol:

Well done, nice steak. I struggled in the wind today

Does that mean you were spitting on every tee box for the first few holes as well ?

Good shooting though.

Only 54% fairways hit today

Only 56% GIR

Looks like 29 putts was the key stat!

More than one way to skin a cat - well done!

Still drove it pretty well, would have hit 100% of dunbar fairways today as well but my place is much tighter!

Nice one FD :clap:

I've never even had 2 birdies in a row. I think if I managed 4 I might faint.

It was surreal! I think I've had 2 in a row before but never more than 3 in a round.

Well it's great shooting under any circumstances but especially in today's wind. Nice one

Was you still driving like a girl!

Hard to judge with the wind but got a few up around the 240/250 mark (wind assisted)... did hit one a mere 160 (into the wind) though, fortunately a short hole....

It's been blowing here too but mainly across the holes so not much help really. We do have back to back par 5's that run next to each other and one is downhill and one is uphill 500yrds a piece. Guess which one had wind against :angry:

I do love bashing a drive downhill with the wind though and with it being my favourite hole too it doesn't get much better.

Great shooting Karen!! :thup:

Great golf by the sounds of it.... doesn't sound like the wheels fell of, just seized up a little. Well played.

Great run. Doesn't matter how you make the score as long as the ball goes in hole as quickly as possible
