I've been playing as if I was a hippo with sticks tied to my arms lately.
However I had entered a competition about 3 months ago and so felt committed to play.
I ended up having 3 decent rounds of 85 - 73, 84 - 72 and 83 - 71 exactly on my handicap and I finished 4th out of a field of around 70. (photo shows me in 3rd before a late card).
We played 27 holes on both Saturday and Sunday, so it was quite an endurance event given the hot conditions.
Winnings were power tools - drill and cutter.
