FROME GOLF COURSE: JONES TWO BALL

Weather: Mostly sunshine with the odd shower. Temp: 15 Celcius

Players: Colin & Simon Jones

Stroke Play.

Handicaps: Col - 14......Si - 24

As usual the first green woke both of us with it's huge down slope from left to right. The front half was steady for both of us but Si didn't do himself any favours with a crazy 9 down the third. My putting which had been on holiday at Pine Ridge last week (85 ...+13) didn't really turn up on the front half with missed chances of birdie on 4 of the first 9 holes. Thankfully Si got his round back on track with a steady few holes from the 4th through to the 9th resulting in a outward 51. My 43 could have been better but I was quite happy with my tee to green play.

Back half started suprisingly well with both of us getting 3's down the 10th. This however was a false dawn with the 12th and 13th biting back as we both came a little unstuck. I managed to get my sole birdie down the infamous 14th before collecting a double bogey down 15.

Si's back half was the more consistent of the twoof us as he managed a 44 to my 43. All in all it was a very relaxing and plesant round of golf with the odd shot of genius amongst a load of very average shots. As usual the car golf was terriffic with a dozen shots taken off both of our scores.

scores: Col....85 gross.....71 net......+2

Si......95 gross......71 net......+2
