Round Norfolk summer golf round 13 at Rookery Park

Wednesday saw round norfolk summer golf tour round -13 take place at rookery park golf club but would there be any luck involved? As most tour members seemed to have something better to do with their time it was a three ball that headed to the first tee. With nobody to organise them, chaos ensued: Chris tried to head off to the par 3 course Sandie offered to do "balls in the air".  Vince wandered off to find the nets muttering about fixing his swing.  

Vince eventually teed off and stuffed it straight into the long rough, which is also where his third shot returned to ( not the same bit obviously).  This set the pattern for much of the round, despite him taking first hybrids then irons for safety off the tee. After 11 holes he seemed to be targeting the "most blobs in a round" with an impressive 5 blobs and 12 points. 

Sandie meanwhile decided that scrambling was the order of the day, and despite duffing  at least a shot a hole to cries of " oh Sandie" she scored steadily and had a healthy 16 points at the turn. 

Chris decided to see if she could play tidy golf and for once succeeded, with some steady hybrids keeping her out of trouble. With a mixture of pars and bogies she had 20 points at half way and started wondering who had the course record and what it stood at. 

Having been chased round the course by locals for most of the round Chris decided the group should take  a breather in the trees on the 13th to let a group through. This decision had absolutely nothing to do with Sandie having just scored 8 points in 3 holes and the need for a change of pace. It was pure coincidence that Sandie went on to score her remaining 8 points on the final 6 holes to finish on a creditable 32 points. 

The break however did help Vince  who started to rediscover his swing and hit some lovely shots, he managed to score on all the remaining holes and finished the round on 22 points . He was surprisingly good humoured about the whole thing. 

Chris's back 9 continued to be steady, but with some untidy chips thrown in she finished the round level handicap and grumbling about making no headway on the eclectic. She had to grumble very quietly because for some reason Vince wasn't very interested. 

In the bar urgent texts were sent to the Pyrenees to ask how to carve up the winnings and 50ps were passed backwards and forwards across the table as all three sheepishly admitted the had no idea how the money was distributed. 

Having had to actually read the website to find out some facts, we now know that Wednesday's result puts Chris level with Vince at the top of the money list. She also retains her course record at Rookery which she never knew she had ( and improved it by a shot). 

Next week the tour goes to Felixstowe Ferry where a new course record is guaranteed.
