Four ball aggregate competition today. Interesting competition style where two golfers play as a pair. At the completion of each hole both players take their handicap from their score and then add those scores together. Coxy and I scored a 149, which we think will be well off the mark.
Summary of the round:
Date played: 21st January
Score: 90 off the stick
Highlight: Par three scored on the fifth hole. My tee shot (9 iron) flew the green and landed on the tee block, some 15 metres behind the green. My lie was sloped severely and I needed to chip down an embankment. Given the difficulty of the shot I was happy to land on the green and have a 7 or 8 metre putt left. I sunk it. My scores on the par 3′s today = 4, 4, 3, 6.
Lowlight: The par three 8th, which I knocked my tee shot well left. Chipped through the green, duffed a chip back on and then three putted… #lesigh
Last week I undertook an AimPoint putting lesson. More info to post on that later. I was hoping my putting would improve and it certainly did. I only recorded one three putt (break in concentration) and recorded three one putts.
No 7′s on the round! Nine bogeys and three pars.

Putting definitely improved a touch. I played the par three’s better than usual (except the 8th) and no blow out 7 or 8 scores on any single hole. Definite improvement, but had a couple of brain explosions.
My handicap pre-round was 22. Considering the round was inside my best 8 of the last 20, my handicap should drop lower. This round will knock a 95 out of the equation.
