Medal 3, Finally!

Medal 12th May

Got a cut!!!

Finally, after starting to believe I would never do it I played a blinder with one sublimely ridiculous hole.

It did not start out too well, 9iron on the first looked mint but took a left bounce off the green and into the steep bunker. I took two to get out, the second was long just to make sure it stayed out, end result a 5 on the easy par 3. Then my tee shot on the par 5 second went left and into the red staked hazard. After that it all settled down, actually I chipped in on the second to make a 5!

One crappy shank on the third while laying up but a rescued it and got a 5 on the par 4 SI 1 hardest hole on the course. After that I just played solid golf, not hitting it that well but started to believe, over compensating to avoid shanks so not to accurate, but out in 46 is not bad after recent performances.

Onto the back nine and I started scoring, my striking became worse but my scoring held

bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, Eleven, par, bogey, par, bogey.

Spot the obvious anomaly in that scoring sequence?

Yes I had an eleven on the par 4 14th.

Crap tee shot, lay up, shank into the water, shank into the water, shank into water, desperate lob to get over the water, chip back onto the green breathing again, one put and run like f**k out of there!

All witnessed by a three ball that just let us play through!

Anyway, That scar will heal and I still scored a 93, net 65 so I will get a cut !!! so I'm one happy camper :)

Going to have a night off now and do this blog. Then I'm not going to get chance to play again till Sunday and the monthly Stable ford, less stressful to a shanker than the medal :p

Next week the one and only goal is to have a lesson to try and get rid of my Arthur J's, it's suddenly become priority number one, two and three! Ha-ha.
