Soldato
Using GolfNow I booked a tee time for this afternoon at Haydock GC, normal price would have £50, but GolfNow had an offer for £27 each. Never having any issues before I didn’t read the booking conditions for the course.
I arrived first and went into the clubhouse to book in and to have a chat, apparently we had to either carry our bags or have winter wheels on our trolley’s, or hire a trolley for £4. Then I was told we needed a mat to play off the fairways , £10 each, or pick up the ball and play from the first cut. We weren’t happy, but rules are rules and we decided to play elsewhere, £54 down the pan.
So, we headed to Berrington GC, played there a few times before and because it was now 2pm we paid only £20 each, we knew that playing 18 before the light failed was going to be tough, we were lucky because there was no one ahead of us.
Majority of the tees were from winter tees, so holes were shorter than from the tee boxes. I was a bit tentative because of my last round, but I had a fairly decent 14 holes, driver was straight and true, iron play was fairly good. Tried a different putting style today, a bit like Tommy Fleetwood, and my putting was pretty solid, too only scoring two three putts. Apart from a 9 on one hole I came off after 14 holes scoring 71, confident in the knowledge I would have broken 100 for the first time this season. Far more positivity from my round than of late and I can’t wait to get out again next weekend and hopefully continue where I left off today.
