Golf Championships

For the past week Narromine have been playing their championships. This is played over four rounds of 18 holes on two Tuesdays and two Wednesdays. I am a pretty average golfer but on the first Tuesday I had the round of my life playing 11 under my handicap(84) which was 26. I lost 5 shots to bring me back to 21 handicap. The next day I played 1 below my new handicap (89)much to my amazement.
I was leading the handicap. Yesterday I did it again playing right to my handicap (90)and today was the final round and I managed to hold it all together to play 1 over my handicap(91). I won the A grade handicap event.Our golf course is all taken care of by volunteers, so we are really lucky to have it in such great condition. As you can see we don't have grass greens, we putt on a mixture of fine sand mixed with oil. We have to smooth out the sand with a special rake everytime we putt.
