Sedlescombe 16th and 17th of June

Playing the front 9 on Thursday and the back 9 on Friday. Finishing level par, I made better choices for shots than on previous rounds.
1. Tee shot on the first was straight into the wind and I hit it well just right of centre. I left myself 165 uphill against the wind, I gripped down a 5 iron and held my wrists off to keep it low. It fired off low straight at the flag , never moved from the stick and finished 4 feet away. I rolled it in nicely.
2. Hit long tee shot on 6 downwind , nearly hit people in front! Left 85 yards over a bunker to a tight pin. Cut a SW over the pit past the flag. Rolled in the 15 foot putt for birdie
3. Tee shot on 10, 150 yards with 8 iron that pitched 5 foot short and ran up to 18 inches.

Hit a wedge on 4 to a blind pin, landed nicely in middle of green.
Hit som good recurs tee shot, caught them out the middle , not heel! Putted the ball in from just off the 14th green for a par!

Knole Park 15th of June

Played skins again with Tim and Tom.

1. On the third hole I hit a good rescue club down the hill to the fairway, then played a wedge from 120 straight at the flag, leaving me ten feet down the hill, which I holed
2. On the 16th par three I cut a 6 iron against the wind and it held up nicely and went to 10 feet.
3. On the last hole I drove well on the blind hole leaving 109 to the flag, I hit a three quarter SW that swung in from the left with the wind, pitched on the front edge and rolled down to 3 feet which I rolled in for birdie

Had 3 birdies and had the lowest score of the three of us, but won the least skins

Played skins again with Tim and Tom. It was very windy, but the recent rain had made it less bouncy.
started shabbily again but was unfortunate a couple of times, driving into ditches. Best shot was a cut 6 iron into a coss wind on 16 which pitched on the green pin high, and I two putted to win a skin
On the last I hit a five iron into the wind and pitched nicely on the green
Drive a blind par 4 10th with an intentional slice round the corner
Tim 8 skins
Tom 6 skins
Phil 4 skins

Played with Tomo and Tim, Oliver cried off due to the prospect of rain. We played skins again. I started very scrappily and Tom was a couple of skins up quickly. My first decent played hole was the 9th, hit an iron off the tee (first fairway hit,lots of pulls!) and played a sandwedge at the flag from just over 100 yards. I spun it just off the green, still close to the flag though. I took the flag out and chipped up the hill with a 7 iron, it bike hard left at the hole and dropped perfectly in the hole.
On the last par 5 after pulling my tee shot again, I hit a 9 iron over the trees back to the fairway. Tom had hit the green in 2, but the flag was at the back. He had left himself a long putt. I had just over 100 yards and flew my ball right to the hole and rolled it in for a birdie. Tomo missed his putt and I won the hole.
Recovery shot on the 17th was good, had to slice a low 4 iron out the trees and run it down to the green. The ball finished just short and I nearly chipped in with a sw!
Played the last well, good drive and a sw from 100 the pitched next to the hole, missed the putt, and Tim won his first skins!
