Saturday saw another first in golf for me and in a fortnight of firsts it was the one I was looking forward to the most - a team event.The event itself was a qualifier for the NCBI Holmpatrick Cup(A charity event in aid of the National Council for the Blind) Myself and Ed are close to being on the same page in what we want to get from the game of golf so playing as a team is something we both agreed would work well for us.
It was a day to remember for me as I played probably the best golf I have ever played for 14 of the 18 holes and on the other 4 Ed played some wonderful shots(although he would admit the other holes didnt go his way today.) We were joined on track by Andrew, an 8 year club veteran and self-proclaimed lucky charm. The team of myself and Ed were only +4 through twelve holes in a round that included 9 pars!!! Considering the competition was based on 3/4 handicaps our final score of 42 points was not only respectable, it was only 2 points off the overnight lead. With weather conditions today much worse, the score could be in the top 3 or 4 and a great start to our team playing career in the club. We finished off the day with a pot of tea you could have bathed in and a breakfast that could have fed the five thousand.
We will be back on course on Monday morning for the midweek V Par 9 hole competition.
