Well I managed to get out on a course again today. It is a 9 hole course so I played round twice. Conditions were lovely and sunny, very cold, pretty windy and the course was waterlogged in places so no run at all, in fact one drive buried below the surface!
It was the best round of golf I have played in years. I hit something like 12/14 fairways (the other two were a couple of yards into the rough but nothing serious) and 10 GIR.
I posted 15 over including 4 3 putts and 3 holes where I duffed the chip leaving it off the green from less than 10 yards away (guess I know what I need to practice!)!!
I hit a PW from 130 yards to 18 inches from the hole and made the birdie, plus I also birdied that hole the 2nd time around when I rolled in a 20 foot putt from just off the edge.
Hit quite a few to within 10/15 feet which was pleasing, on a better day I should have gone a lot lower.
I saved one of my best until last though, wind behind, 174 to the flag, I hit a 7iron (would have been a 4 or 5 with the old set), it landed 5 foot from the flag and ran on another 5 foot. Sadly I missed the putt! But two birdies in one round of golf, I hadn't had a birdie for a couple of years I don't think!
I am so pleased with my pereformance and the consistency of the irons, especially given the conditions.
