I have been looking forward to playing the Wychwood, its not far away from me and have heard its a great golf course.
Also for the first time I was asked to play in the Pro-Am held the day before the tournament, something I really enjoyed and it was great fun meeting the members of my team and spending the day with them. Unfortunately we didn’t make any of the prizes but we had a great time out on the course.
Day one and not the best of starts as my approach to the first plugged in a greenside bunker leaving me with no shot out and I eventually finished making a double bogey.
Three steady pars before making a birdie at the 5th saw me make the turn in one over par.
Another poor start to the back nine as I bogeyed the 10th, 11th and the 15th before I finally managed another birdie on the 18th to finish round one with a 75 (+3)
Day two and off to a flyer as this time I birdied the first, unfortunately I gave it straight back on the 2nd before another birdie on the 5th got me one under for the round.
A poor tee shot on the 7th left me with another double bogey and through the turn I was back to one over same as day one.
The back nine again started poorly, I did mange to grab a couple of birdies on 16 and 18 but dropped too many coming in and finished 77 (+5)
A week off now before I head off to Telford Golf Club for my next event
