Moonah at the national yesterday. wasnt in right frame to play for a few reasons:
1. one course taken by a corporate day, parking was gonna be a bitch
2. morning tee times on moonah taken by pennant
3. had a guest who has barely played, but wants to get into it.
i just wasnt mentally prepared. anyway, guest and i rock up, no comp. cool i say.
first hole, 2 guests from recip club tee off in front of us. nice guys..it was apparent they would take some time, looking for balls during that hole. cant fault them too much given its their first time at the Nash.
my group about to tee off, another 2 players rock up. they tee off. so in front of me are 2 x 2. ok. play ball.
first hole, my mate guest toes his ball low and hard into the shit. gone. note he's only started playing moreso recently at local public courses. 2 lost balls on the first hole for him. my rhythm was broken throughout the round as we had to wait for the 2 x 2 in front, as there were 2 x 4 womens groups in front of them. ok, that's life. rhythm wise, my fault for not staying focused.
anyway, so were on the first putting (we have 3 players). suddenly the group of 4 behind us are waiting to hit their second shot into the green. wut? we checked the time, they teed off 5 mins early (ie not 20 past, but quarter past!). got my mad.
throughout the front 9 they were always there or there abouts. up our arse. we couldnt move any faster. group in front of us apologised unecessarily for the delays. they were nice people.
reckon hit 107 off the stick. slight wind, but nothing to cry about. just couldnt get things going. my swing was all over the place, here and there.
highlight was paring the par 4 4th (index 2).
grrrr.
