After getting up early and prepping the house for a showing, Neil, Jim, Toby the Elder and I headed off to Sherwood Forest to play some golf. It was the first time I'd played in 7 or 8 years and needless to say I wasn't very good. There was one hole where everything came together for me, though - a great drive from the tee, a nice 5 iron just outside of the green, a nice pitch wedge lay-up and a 2 putt - but that was pretty much a one-off. And it wasn't the hole featured in this picture. Perhaps if the marshall's werent' constantly trying to get us to play faster to get out of the way of the competition behind us I would have had more luck. Yeah, that's it.
Toby ended up winning, with Jim ('Mr Consistent') coming in a respectable second place and Trim-a-lim in 3rd. I'm not discouraged though as my playing does hold some promise - I have a nice backswing, apparently - and I am committed to putting some time in to improve things.
And anyway, it's more about the social aspect of the activity and not whether you win or lose. At least, as the loser, that's how I see it. ;)
