Too many wasted shots

[louise_a]

Well I didnt play too bady, started off well, hit the 1st green and a solid par, just missed par on 2nd, I was feeling confident, I often start badly. " good shots to par 5 3rd, hit a 5 iron pin high sadly off line and right behind a tree so could only play sideways, ended up with a 7. I kept it goin upto the 8th where I inexplicably took four from 30 yds short of the green for a db 7, the ninth is a short but I put my tee shot into the stream the runs round half of the green and ended up with a 6, I normally dont take mor than 9 on 8 & 9 so 13 was awful.
Out in 49. all is not lost but o nthe back 9 I had two 8s, due to not following through on chips and a shot into a ditch. Meant I came back in 51 for a net 77, same as my partner who won 3rd prize on a card play off.

Its was an annoying round as I played very few bad shots, just a couple of ill judged ones and had a bit of bad luck too.

The winner had 72 with 76 getting 2nd, the course was really wet and a strong wind blowing too.

So I missed a good chance to win a major but the same score as 3rd wasn't too bad I guess.

In a nutshell thats golf. Sometimes you can waste shots like its going out of fashion and still get close and then ruminate when you realise ow close you came

Know the feeling but had the opposite today. Played the 1st the worst I've ever played it. 90 degree dogleg right and I was absolutely shocking.
Expecting a rubbish round after that but ended up playing the best round I've had for months. Shame that I had to cut the round short due to several groups in front playing the slowest I've seen for a while. Two hours for 9 holes is really pushing it.
In the words of James Greaves - "it's a funny old game".

Louise, Console yourself in knowing that you came joint third, You know where you lost the shots that would have made a difference, so hopefully wont make the same mistake again, all a learning curve im afraid, all the very best, Rob...
