In the medal, played 16 holes and a par par finish would bring me down to the magic number I have been searching for this season, an 8 handicap.
Hit a great tee shot leaving 140 yards to go to a raised green. As we are walking down the fairway I see a member of the 4 ball (therefore in a bounce game) behind us looking for a ball and I point it out for him on the middle of our fairway and he ambles his way towards it.
I set up to the ball, go through my routine, start my backswing, get to the top and start swinging down. At this point I am disturbed by the guy's ball smacking into the tress and end up pulling it to the worst spot on the hole to get up and down.
A quick shout of 'thanks for that pal!' and away I go. End up 3 putting for a double and have obviously let it get to me. I am not normally sensitive to these things but with a massive noise off the trees it really put me off.
It is my understanding that, if you are on the wrong fairway you should wait for those playing it to play their shots before you do or go if they invite you to do so. Surely everyone plays the game this way?
Oh well, still at a 9 handicap!
