June Medal. Neice's wedding in the afternoon so arranged a 7.30am tee with another swindler. Very hot morning with not so much as a breath of breeze.
Driver
We played the back nine first so started on the 10th. First shot of the round, I lined up to the first cut on the right of the fairway and took a relaxed but positive swing. The ball started perfectly on line and drew nicely into the middle of the fairway, approx. 270 yards.

6 iron
The par 3 12th is 169 yards on the card and although it's uphill all the way the flag is right on the front, it's hot and the air is completely still. I line up to the right expecting to draw slightly with the safety of the bank feeding down to the green. I take a calm but positive swing and it looks and sounds perfect. The ball draws straight at the pin and bounces just on the fringe. When I get up to the green the ball had bounced on and finished 3 feet from the hole, pin high.

Putter
I'd hit a nice 5 iron down onto the front of the par 3 5th to 12ft. I was a little dissapointed not to be closer from a well struck tee shot but I took a good look at the line and new I would have to start the putt close to the right fringe of the green. I started the ball slightly lower and stronger than inteded but immediately felt it had a chance. It tracked all the way and hit the middle of the hole for my first of 2 birdies of the day.
