Nice going Ralph crazy how it goes from bad to good or vice versa.
Had a similar feeling this week played a bounce game on Thursday at Alloa and needed a par on the last for a 75 would have been my best score there by 2. Obviously blew the tee shot into no mans land and made a 6 (triple bogey) for a 78. Drove it great all day and somehow managed my big leak on the longer irons which is a turning it over to the left well to keep it on line. Chuffed with the round but that 18th is beginning to annoy me, an incredibly tough par 3.
So was looking forward to stableford on Saturday. Needed to play early so was out at 8am with a couple of guys I hadn't played with before and both were quite a bit lower handicaps to me. For some reason felt nervous on the tee as if I had something to prove, I dunno. Anyway sprayed it all over the place off the tee scrambled ok and played some decent short stuff but quite a few really bad ones for an 89. Still made 30 points as there was a few big numbers on that card
.
Played a 3 man scramble today at Pitreavie just next to my old workplace at Sky in Dunfermline. Strangely had never played there before we had a couple of works outings back in the day but they were at another local course. Started off well birdieing the first 2 which were par 5's and turned 4 under. Back 9 it went cold and we came in at 3 under with 7 strokes a net 61 and at least 6 off the lead when we left with a lot to come in. Course was really good maybe a bit too many blind tee shots for my liking but the greens were great. So many tiered greens it was no surprise that it was designed by the same guy who did Augusta (Alister MacKenzie). Again another gem up here if people are looking for a trip and don't want to pay ridiculous fees for a game.
