P.S you should have played the bunker shot, you messed up because you were going against your first thoughts.
At least it went in.

Interesting pyschological / mental golf question there Ian.
I think the chip and roll was the right shot to play under the circumstances but yes, I saw the ball land in the sand and as I walked to the green I was thinking about splashing it out.
So should I have played my first instinct? or should I have played the chip?
I think that what I needed to do was dismiss my first thoughts and commit to the Plan B; or perhaps better I should have looked at the winter butterflies and waited until I reached the bunker to make my shot assessment.
