Cracking morning, although driving through Myponga the temperature plummeted 5°c
Shotgun start
Par 4 - 14th to kick the day off
Driver and lucky to make contact..... get to it, hit 2nd shot trying to get back out onto fairway and played pinball with a tree.
Bout to pick up and realise it's stroke... ffs... gonna be a long day.. and wrote the round off with a 7.
Course is in good condition
Greens recently aerated but didn't really impact putting... I'd like to say it did...
Anyway, we fight back like all good players do, still missed a few putts
Got the driver working successfully on the 3rd attempt from the tee.
Only a Par 70 with some short par 4s.
Couple blind shots, especially when unfamiliar with the course
Ended up with an 83 which shocked me a tad

Or has that been overlooked due to the result....

Feel like my game is going backwards as a result of not playing much of late and my handicap is reflecting this.

Course was bloody busy! I Get to the first tee 3 blokes waiting for a forth to pay, Hey Dutch you can go through if you like? No idea who it was, it turns out I use to play footy with him I reluctantly accept to go as I hadn’t had a swing in the practice net before going off which I like doing, any way I get up on the tee only to see the green keeper up next to the green I’m thinking F**k me what’s going on.
Anyway with a fair few eyes on me, 5iron pin 165m meters bounced 6ft short, then a second bounce bang hits the pin and drops my second ever hole in hole!
Swaggered off the tee like Mick Jagger just giving out high 5’s
Get up to the green and the super says ‘Nice ball’ No shit mate it’s in the hole! Lol

Will be interesting. The Head of Senior School here at work has put together a golf club for some of the staff and I missed the first round, so looking forward to tomorrow. He has set it up with a bit of a nod to the FedEx Cup.
There are 6 stableford rounds and your top 3 scores go towards you place in the finals. Depending on your ranking you get bonus points and then after the 2 round finals, the winner is crowned.
This will allow me to play more than once a year. Happy days...

A nod to the Fed Ex Cup? So a substantial financial windfall if you win?
