Approach shot to number 8. This is an iron off the tee, to a dogleg with the approach to a difficult green. This is index 3. See how bare the lie is, (like playing in a carpark!!!). I tried to hit a wee punch into the wind with an 8 iron and successfully pushed it into the greenside bunker on the right (unseen). Poor shot!
Green at 16. The guy in the distance plays off a 2 h/c. He is a master of the short game, and he pitched from 40 yards to 3.5 feet and holed for a par! No problem. Again notice how bleached the ground is compared to the greens. btw In the background you see the 1st tee. You also see some diggers! We are getting a new clubhouse and they are remodelling the first hole, so that the tee will push it to even more of a dogleg. On the laft you can see a banner for Tullamore Dew, the sponsor of a big Amateur Golf / Drinking Tournament that takes place each year over 4 courses, including Portstewart.
Andy_79 in all his glory!! Not sure why he is posing with his driver! Fairly boring outfit, standard golfer issue. No charisma, needs a bit of colour injected into his wardrobe.
