Monday 20th April
Ah well – last chance to get my game together before the trip to Alcaidesa next weekend. Made the most of it too. Not. Lost 4&3 to Ads over 9 holes at Boars Head with not a memorable shot in sight. Told him he peaked too early. We’ll see next week. B*ll*cks.
Monday, 6th April
After a week off (conference in Amsterdam) and a bit of pigging out on rich food, it was time to avenge Ads over 9 holes at Boars Head on a bright and sunny Monday morning. Oh dear. What a disaster.
Skip to the chase – I lost 2&1. While I could argue that Ads sinking a 20 footer on the 2nd last was the difference (I won the 9th), the truth of the matter was he played well and I played like a donkey. In fact, the 9th was the only hole I parred all morning and was 3 down after 4. An uphill battle from there. I won #6 and #7 to reduce the deficit – mainly thanks to Ads skimming a 30 yarder on the 7th over the green and into a ditch though, not because I played it well, and then that putt on the 8th. Grrr.
Only 3 weeks to go until we visit Alcaidesa for the long weekend, and the way I’m playing at the moment, “long” will be the operative word.
