Hi mate,

Dont worry all about it as I had a simular experiance on thursday. The sun was cracking the pavement. So I was playing with my boss and a couple of clients. Anyway we thought of making it intresting and have a match play game with the loser team giving £10 each to the winners. Sound brill to me as the previous weekend I was on form.

I tee'd up at the first and also was the last player to play so with everyone watching I hit a 5 iron long and straight which landed in front of the green (Hole one is par 4 280 yrds but with a downward slope to the pin, if you hit it right your in water save is left but carefull not to over shoot it). I ended up birding this one and first point was to us.

Now it was my go first to drive a long par 5 at 520 yrds, so biggy came out of back hit a fantastic tee shot that went long and straight plus out of sight, but new it was a great shot. All others didnt get close to me in the end I par'd this hole, so yet again another point 2 nil to us. I was on a high that was until the 3rd tee.

A 425 yrds par 4, so driver came out yet again as I do consider this my strong point. I dont know what happened but I ended up duffing up this shot that went 150 yrds left hit a tree bouncing back another 50 yrds. This was the start of the next 11 holes being like this driving into trouble, bad lies, too many puts, wind causing problems by sudden gusts, you name it I had it on those 11 holes.

In the end the customer beat us 10 - 5 to them.

So like you slater we do all have bad days which makes you think of taking up golf sorry fishing instead.

Have a fun weekend
Cheers
Mark
