Well I went in with very low expectations as the burden of 3 children under 3 has had a dramatic impact on my golfing ability over the last couple of years.
The good news is that I actually played quite well.
Shot 71 in the first round, nothing special 2 birdies 1 bogey
Shot 76 in the second, got on the bogey train on the back nine.
Shot 71 in the third round, again nothing special 3 birdies, 2 bogeys
Shot 71 in the fourth, that where the story gets interesting
Total 289 (9 over) very average total.
Went into the final round 4 shots of the pace and in the second last group, not a bad place to come from as anything can happen at Wynnum when the wind blows and the greens get quick.
Made the perfect start, Par, Eagle, Birdie - all of a sudden I am only one back :D . Steady through the front nine and turn 2 under.
Driver on 10 to 20 feet, leave the eagle putt short in the heart. 3 under leading by 2. The disaster strikes. Tripple on 11, I can't relive this again, all I can say is it was bad :( . Back to one behind
I then hung on the best I could made an ugly bogey :oops: on 16 too shot 71.
The bad news is it was one too many, but I was very happy all the same.
It was nice to show signs that I can still play.
