There's always one isn't there. I'm now 2/101 with 2 scores yet to be entered.
We played the competition from the white tees and despite hitting three poor chips from just short of the greens on 5,6, and 7 to make bogey on each of them I still managed to play the front nine in 42(+6) for 20 stabbos as I get 15 shots, so as long as I can avoid double bogeys I feel like I'm always going to be competitive. Played better on the back nine getting up and down a few times and was in decent shape until I had my Ryan Fox moment on the longish par3 17th. I pulled my 5wood into the left greenside bunker and it ended up about a foot from the left-hand edge in a footprint(grrr). I had to play out backwards and failed to get up and down despite going very close with my putt for my one and only double-bogey of the day. Made a par4 at the last to come back in 40 for another 20 stabbos making 40 total and shooting a season's best 82 off the whites. The guy who pipped me must have had a good back nine as he got 40 points too off a similar handicap.
Not really that far off shooting my age for the first time since I deffo left a few out there today. Encouraging.
Awesome! Well done Ralph.
