So did the comp earlier, funnily enough I'm pretty sure I didn't score well enough to even be close to winning anyway
wasn't that terrible but certainly not my best golf overall.
One thing that was interesting was that I usually cap to 8, nowadays it's not that often I go way over 8 but obviously being a comp/official score no caps in place, which was fine for the first 8 holes, had a few 8's (again, not my best golf
) but nothing higher.
Then on the 9th it kinda went downhill, off the tee I hit it left OB, been a while since I hit one left
, so fine, 3 off the tee on a kinda awkward par 5, decent second drive though. Then I hit an iron right and towards some people near the tee for the 5th :/ shouted fore obviously and thankfully didn't hit them but into a hedge, didn't take a penalty as it was just about playable but not great and still took two to get back on the fairway. Next shot ok but my short game departed me so 3 'chips' onto the green, and a 1 putt... 11 shots total.
Felt overall like the mistakes I made generally hurt, as in sometimes you can make mistakes that 'work out ok', like my first tee shot was a hybrid that went a bit too far right. Hit a tree, got a members bounce and back in the middle of the fairway. But most of them today went for a loss of a shot one way or another, like a few feet shorter or left/right and it'd be fine but just happens to land in the worst spot possible, repeatedly
Still, 63 officially, tied for me worst score (but that was with capping to 8, and was terrible golf), 44 net for 9 over. Not too unhappy with that really, nice round of golf, some fresh air and exercise
Also, forgot to add it yesterday but on the last hole I hit driver off the deck, my drive was meh and was looking at the prospect of having to walk past the ball to the trolley to change clubs and walk back. The ball was on some long-ish grass so was semi-elevated and my playing partners convinced me to give it a try, probably for the lols
It actually worked, sliced a bit and did end in a bunker but the contact was good if low on the face obviously so was a low flying shot, came out like it could've gone a decent distance though...
