bunker filled with water

First Round of the Year

So the last round of the year was on newyears eve. Temperature was -6 and we were playing the Cleydael wintercourse but with winter greens.

What can I say .. it was one of the best golf experiences I ever had , I don't know why but the scenery was awesome, we never had cold, and we pretty much had the course for us alone. No waiting, just a round of relaxed golf, enjoying the view.

We both played a really great round .. and in close to 3hours we finished the 17 holes, the 18th doesn't have a wintergreen so it was closed .. 6 pars in a round is great golf to me .. even on wintergreens, afterall your one but last ball has to be within that 1 meter range of the hole.

Fast forward 24 days and the weather finally allowed me to go out again for a round . well the weather didn't really allow it .. the course was still soaked, there was a lot of temporary water on the course and again wintergreens were still in play.

But the first shot of the year was a pretty good one.. I couldn't see it into the Sun, but it fealth great and so was it's result ... just a short pitch away from the green. Too bad I didn't find my provisional ball anymore :)

And so was my last approach of that day, a wedge over a tree that landed at approx 5 cm from the cup, too bad the shot was my 4th as I had to drop outside an overflowing bunker , there was absolutely no way to play the ball form in the bunker :(
(Actually had to look up the rulings on that one)

If the last 2 rounds were the prequel to this next season It's going to be fun,I'm a happy camper with a 47 ss score over 17 holes to finish the year and a 21 score over 9 holes to start the year ..

Now if only the weather would become a bit more accpetable :)
