**** this game.
Started on 10th. 2 pts.
Par 3 11th, no draw, so over path amongst trees. Had to hit it low and run it up. Hit it low and bang into a branch....ball basically rolled back to me...
13th ball hit a hazard marker and into the creek. Pick up move on.
Then par 3 15th. Hit a nice 56, but it just started too far right. Hit trees and pinballed further right...pick up.
4pts after 5.
16th, hit a drive into trees, but punched out to 75m and a majestic 56 for a tap in 2 footer
17th horror heel drive but got away with it and made a 5
18th. Used the baffler, pushed it right, caught the trees. Layed up before hazard. But a nice low running hybrid from 180m rolled up nice.
11pts front 9.
It didnt feel that bad, but then it also wasnt that good...
1st, smashed a drive, basically out of the sweet spot and ended up in the trees down the right, a fair way down. Punched thru the trees and made Par.
From there on, it was a scoring feast.
2nd - par
3rd - hybrid runner was short but the chip on was superb, looked like it was gonna drop. Par
4th - driver and faded nicely up the right side. Unfortunately it sat amongst the trees and didnt roll out as they normally do.
Roughly 100m out, 2 trees blocking my run at the green, a few trees on the right about 30m up. Had to hit a draw/hook around the trees and hope with tje lean of fairway i could get it around the green. Well **** me, my plan was executed perfectly, and it rolled out onto the green and settled at the back edge. Just a shot you see on tv....
id never do it again...par
5th, nasty slice, but recovered. Had a putt just off green and as the ball slows down it does a u turn....ffs. 5 and bogey.
6th. A drive that went gun barrel straight. Then a hybrid from 212. Just a 3/4 swing, you only have to really get the ball rolling from the top of the hill and it feeds down. Long eagle putt was nicely lagged. Birdie putt skimmed the edge and another par.
7th - poor slice drive, ended up near GUR, once was a temp green. Ended with a 6 there...
8th par 3, no draw on the 8i and ended up out on the 4th rough. Chipped thru onto green and 2 putt for 2 pts
9th.....horror vanilla slice, out on the 1st fairway. Got the hybrid to run it down there, and clipped the big bloody tree, no idea where it ended. Get down there and just short of green, then an 8i runner to just past the hole and a handy par to finish the day. And 21pts on back 9
32pts overall.....on a day that could've been 22 or 42
