My wife bought me green fees for the K-Club for my birthday. And I bought green fees for my brother. So we headed off yesterday evening and stayed in Maynooth. We were teeing off at 8.00am this morning. We arrived out at the course for 7.30 to have a look around first and to make sure that the course was still playable - it rained alot the last two days.
We were playing the Palmer Course and because the Ryder Cup is being held there this year we had to start at the 8th.
We managed to make our way around although the course was holding alot of water. Tomas Bjorn had a bit of a nightmare playing the 16th on this course during the final round of last years European Open. I know understand why. I must have put at least 6 balls in the water that surrounds that green. Talk about frustrating. The club nearly went in after the 6th ball. Managed to get around it with 4 pars, 6 bogies, 3 doubles and we won't talk about the other 5 holes.
I really enjoyed it today. I'll be able to watch the Ryder Cup now and be able to see where I was and what shot I played compared to the pros.
Until next time.
