My First Win

I stated 2 weeks holidays last Monday. With herself working the frst week what better way to spend a few hours every day than out on the course.
I was out with my brother on Monday morning and the golf was very hot and cold. Some great shots and some, eh......not so great. I managed to have a few pars but lost the match 3 and 2. I must admit I was very dissappointed at how I was playing.

Every Tuesday in the golf club there is an open competition. Stableford. We, my brother and I, were on the time sheet for 2.20pm. We were joined by 2 other members. Everything seemd to go right. Drive after drive found the fairway. My iron play was as good as it's ever been and my chipping was flying it ( I chipped in for par on the 13th, as well as stiching 6 more holes). My putting could have been better but was ok.

I played the front 9 for 8 over. The back 9 is were it really got going. I was 4 over giving me 13 over total and 42 points. 42 points was good enough to win by 2. I won the competition. Fecking class. My first win. Handicap got cut back to 18.7 so I'm now playing off 19.

What makes it even better is that I followed up yesterday's 13 over with another 13 over again today. I bet my brother 9 and 8.

I just hope it continues.
