    See you in 5 sleeps Weets

    Can’t wait

    You going driver off the 1st?

    Nah, 3 wood is the play here.
    240 towards the pond will leave me a 70m flick up on a better angle in.
    I think that’s better than a cheeky little chip up onto that tricky raised green.

    and depending on how much the southerly is pushing at that stage, being too long and straight with the driver is asking for wet or bunker. The 3 wood should be short enough, if it starts in the right spot that it won’t get wet it it holds out in the wind

    That’s an aggressive line off the tee!

    Given you started with a 240m 3 wood which is a bit out of my league I suspect that your advice wont be very applicable to this chopper!

    That’s where it will finish, the aiming point is about 10m+ right of that, well outside the bunker knowing it will draw back on the breeze and end up there.

    It’s all about putting yourself in the spot you want your second shot from.

    and bearing in mind, it has been 5 months since I have swung a club, anywhere in the air is my first goal

    I play every week and that’s still my goal!

    Better play (pssst don’t tell Bump) is about 40mtrs shorter- takes water and bunkers out of play- leave 100-110m in.

    First tee shot for Bump with all of us watching!

    so if I hit 3 wood and it only goes 200odd I still put myself in that position of a lob wedge in regardless, with a club that even maxed out won’t reach the water and a line that is starting right of the bunker?
    sssh, Mads, your secret is safe with me 😉

    What I think will really happen is my tee shot goes into the water on the right … of the tee block. Then I have to take a drop from behind the tree, knock it out sideways and be 220 out hitting 4. That shot doesn’t turn over and catches the far side of the bank, drop 5, hitting on for 6.
    That rolls off the green to the left and I pick up for a wash without taking putter out of the bag.

    The third hole playing into the teeth of the southerly will be fun.
    Drive goes right, drop 2.
    Hit it fat into the bunker for 3.
    Skull it out over the green for 4.
    drop 5, up and over the green for 6.
    Hit bunker shot for 7
    Putter is still in the bag, untouched after 3 holes

    actual-3rd

    Realising that I have lost 4 new balls and only have one new one left, I aim left and it goes way left.
    Dead behind a palm tree so I can only knock it up the fairway a little bit for 2.
    Hit hybrid, stuck it really well down wind to be pretty much green side, but it looks like it’s rolled into the bunker for 3, i hope it stopped.
    Wasn’t in the bunker and is sitting pretty nicely.
    Chip it in for 4, and laugh at getting 4 a 3 to be 3 points after 4 and still not touching the putter.

    actual-4th
