Tip: take every club out your bag apart from wedges and putter. Take a few balls.

Nothing longer than about 110yds I think. Nice little pitch and putt.

Came last :D

Blame my partner, she needs to buck up her ideas :rofl:

Just scraped in with a 99. Front nine was a pretty solid 45, in very windy conditions. Didn’t have time for practice beforehand, and ended up using my new driver for the very first time during play, rather than practice. 5 solid strikes :D. Need to practice putting more, since I narrowly missed 5 or 6 five-footers, which would have made my score much better. Incorporated most of the recommendations for breaking 100 and 90, in particular club selection (used the driver only on wide fairways, hit a 4 iron off the tee several times to ensure hitting the fairway on narrow fairways and when the wind was particularly strong), didn’t aim for the pin if it was in a risky area of the green, played safe shots out of trouble.

Solid round though. Smart golf is much better than not thinking properly. I've loved playing Earth and Fire recently - no GPS so you have to figure out yardages and consider where the pin is properly etc.
