Foremost Championships

Last Thursday, 1st May, my alarm clock went off at 4.30am and out the door at 5am. 2 hours later I'm at Hadley Wood Golf Club just inside the M25. I'd not played there before and didn't have the time to get a practice round in either.

So, blind to the course on Monday, it's raining, I've got my carry bag, no trolley and no umbrella. Great preparation Ian, Well Done. I manage to drive down the middle on the 1st with the driver (last years driving problems have departed for the time being). Fellow competitor no1 - right trees, fellow competitor no2 left trees - provisional ball - left trees! To cut a long story short it was about 15 minutes before I played another shot and it was not a good one either. Anyway some how we all had par 5's although it did feel like a dropped shot for me.

Hole no2, my second shot went too far and I didn't get up and down - bogey. Hole 3, par 3 onto the green 2 putts - par. Hole4, 325 yards dog leg left. 4 iron off the tee straight into a ditch that I hadn't even seen - a quick double bogey and 3 over par after 4 holes. Hole 5 stroke 1 I drove down the middle. The group behind were a two ball because one of their group didn't turn up. Another 20 minute wait to hit my next shot. Why am I telling you all this? Well there is a happier ending. I finished my round level par which was quite respectable, Tied 8th. Not bad although it does hurt knowing my final 10 foot for a birdie that I missed cost me £150!

My inner chimp was very prevalent in the first few holes but having watched the Steve Peters YouTube clip did help. If you have 15 minutes watch this link - very interesting.
