Played Ardee today with a society. Suited me as it was quiet forgiving and from society tee was also quiet short. Very nice condition and quiet lush with the recent rain. After a bogey, double start I went on to par, par, blob (whoops) par, par, par, birdie. Turned in 23 points. Anyone who knows it though will admit the layout is a little bit confusing.
After the 11th, went to what we thought was the 12th tee box. Turned out it was actually the 17th but society tee were so far forward they weren't actually near the markers indicating the hole. None of us though to check because the tee box was in a logical position. Realised our mistake when a member angrily shouted at us for cutting in. Had no idea about procedure (2 stroke penalty and correct the mistake) and didn't have my rules book or my phone with the app. Saw the sign hidden in bushes for the 12th when we were pointed in the right direction. Went round and played on from the actual 12th which I proceeded to blank then my game went to pot because this mistake was plaguing my mind. Started to let everything get to me and finished with 35 points. Oh well maybe next time. On the plus side I was enjoying the impressive backspin on the very receptive greens
So learnt 2 valuable lessons today. Always check the number on the tee. Always remember to bring my phone with the rules app or my book.
