Moaned it in a bit I suppose. Played first division open today at a very Windy Alloa. Driver worked pretty well today apart from big pushes on 5,9 and 12 bringing the big scores. 5 was a decent 6 as was hitting my 4th from about 190 into the wind. 9 blew it into horrible spot, hack out then blow the next into trees and 12 lost it right so a decent 6 again par on 2nd ball. Couple of 3 putts on 10 & 16 was annoying but can't moan putter worked really well holed a lot from about 10 - 15 feet. 18, usual nemesis, had it in my head all day 221 yds into the wind brutal hole and the cause of most of my blow ups. Tee shot lost had to walk back to tee (it wasn't too far
) 2nd under a tree at side of green but no way could get a club to it, dropped an unplayable and made a good up and down for 6.
Was typing this out with the intention of saying don't know if I am happy or disappointed with it but after typing that out I've remembered more of the good bits. Ended up with an 81. Not sure I've birdied 4 holes in a round many times before, wind helped on 2 (even though the 2nd shot was topped) and 6. 13 I can get it near the green on a good day from yellows we weren't that further back but not with todays wind, hit a really good pitch. 17 right into it from a high tee good drive pulled 2 so had to avoid the side of a tree to my left from about 80 yards. Then shit the bed on 18 again
and lost it on a countback
