Ok so the time had arrived to play in the biggest golf tournament in disabled golf and excited and nervous is the over-riding feeling as I approached the first tee. Plenty of rain ! Plenty of wind ! And a dodgy prosthetic leg, what on earth can go wrong :-). Slightly squeaky bum time on the first tee but a nice smooth drive down the l/h side of the fairway soon sorted that out. I started quite steady and knocked around a satisfactory 39 for the first 9 holes but then it was time to tackle the back half and this is where this course in Rø gets even tougher and particularly interesting. My driving and chipping were pretty much playing at 100% but I did let myself down with the putting again. Super dunk did his best to keep me on track and as usual was a demon on the bag, knowing just what I want, when I want it. The rest of the round seemed to pass in a bit of a blur, as it was so cold, windy and wet that it was a struggle to think about anything else other than keeping dry and warm. Anyways, when we counted up the score I was presently surprised to be sat in a tie for 6th position out of 94 competitors, so even with my unspectacular putting and a couple of silly little mistakes all is not lost and there is still a lot to play for with my aim of a top 10 finish looking possible.
I have got the same tee time tomorrow (9:40am) and they are hoping for better weather but I will wait and see about that :-).
So that is day one completed and the monk is on plan for the time being, but this is a funny game, that can bite you on the bum quite quickly if you don't keep your focus and with 36 holes left I won't be counting any chickens just yet. :-).
So till tomorrow............
