When I put the 2015 calendar together, as Vice Captain, I was keen that we organize a competition on the day immediately following the EuroPro tournament. To play the course as it was laid out for the final day, with the pins all in appropriately tricky positions and the greens rolling at the same pace as the pros experienced: what more could anyone want? Accordingly, the May Medal was scheduled for today, the 31st May.
To make the event even more attractive, we also nominated this May Medal as being the one to be sponsored by Fuller's London Pride, entitling the winner not only to receive a case of beer but also to play in an
England Golf competition to find the National Handicap Golfer of the Year. For both these reasons, we had a very full field with just under 140 participants.
I played in my usual Captain's slot at 08:42. The practice green gave us all pause for thought as it was rolling very fast...
As things turned out, I needn't have worried about the putting as that club in the bag was performing well (27 putts in the whole round was very satisfying) but should instead have focussed on some of the other sticks in the bag. I leaked shot after shot and ending up recording a net 80. Not very good really but probably a fair reflection of how I played.
No free beer for the Lawrence household tonight...
