Day 76 - Lucky Tees

Another Saturday, another competition. Today was the turn of the Ron Bennett Centenary Trophy, a medal in the Old Course. I started off loosely but managed to hold it together.

On the second fairway,  I was on litter pick-up duty and came across small bag of tees with a message on them: Martin's Magic Tees. Guaranteed Lots of Holes in One. 

Was this an omen? Well, the answer was yes and no. I forgot to use the tees at the par threes, but still managed to score well.

No holes in one, it must be admitted, but I did manage a 2 on 16 to help me finish on 78, that is 8 over par. Not good enough to win the competition but still very respectable. A handicap cut follows and I am now playing off 9.1, my lowest ever.

I couldn't hang around for the end to see who actually won as I had to get myself to Twickenham. This was for the European Rugby Final and my son had somehow managed to secure free tickets, not only for us two but for a whole host of his friends. We bumped into familiar faces from King's, Durham and EY during the afternoon.

I left them all to it at the end of an exciting game of rugby. It was time for me to head home to get some rest before tomorrow's Captain and Pro game..though I am hearing worrying messages that my partner plans to watch the boxing tonight. It is scheduled to start at 0500 UK time...
