Some time ago, there were posts about:
1. your best shot
2. how good are pro's?
Well, I have a new best shot as of today
. It was on the 6th hole today in a tournament. I was 135m out, slight uphill, pin 42ft on and 16ft from the left. There was a slight breeze and I was lying on a slight downhill.
I pulled a 7-iron and punched the ball starting middle of the green with 20yards of draw. It took off right at the middle of the green, drew nicely, pitched on the green, ran all the way to the back and according to the crowd hit the pin, horsehoed out and stopped 15cm from the hole.
Just as I planned. That moved me to 4 under after 6.
Now for the second half of the post.
It was a serious shoot out today, it was supposed to be 36 holes but yesterday was cancelled due to the high winds. 64 of us playing for all the glory in 18 holes of 'deep' scoring ...
I was 4 under after 6
, 5 under after 9 (front of 32)
and was right up there. I ended up with 66 (-7)
which I thought was a great round. I was very happy, but I did make bogey on 17 and only parred the par 5 18th.
It's a tough course, not long but very undulating, very narrow and small greens. Lots of trees lining the fairways.
Where did I finish you rekon?
Top 5? Nope
Top 10? Nope
Top 20? Just ... T17th!
And this is a mini-tour!!!!! For G*D sake ... T17th with a 7-under par score!
The winner shot 63, there were 2 64's and jammed 65 and 66's. I tied with 4 others at -7.
My prize money: $450! For a 7-under 67, I just make the top-20, I still can't quite figure this out...
