The weather was not brilliant and we thought it would be ok as we had booked a buggy. Unfortunately when we arrived we were told that some of the buggy's were broker so we would be unable to use one. They kindly gave my friend a free trolley as i had mine in my car. They were very helpful and told us we could have a buggy half price next time!
So onto the par 3 1st we went. My friend pushed his shot to the far right of the green and i managed to hit an 8 iron to within about 9 ft. A pair of par's to start seems like a good omen for the round and we walked onto the par 4 2nd. After a great drive by Alex and a good drive from me that just ran into the start of the rough, things started to go from good to great! I fluffed my second and then my third shot went down a bank off the edge of the green. I thought if i could chip it close and one put i would walk away with a bogie and be relatively happy. As it turned out my wedge shot bounced a foot away from the cup and rolled it for par!
Unfortunately that is where my good round ended. Im not sure if it was the constant rain that put me off or whether it was just one of those rounds but i shot 8 consecutive bogies and then a few pars for one of the worst rounds i have had in ages. Not a birdie in sight!
I have to say however that this is the second time i have played at Wickham Park Golf Club and i find it a beautiful course that is quite long and also quite challenging in places.
Hopefully the next time i play there i will have a much better round!
