At my club we are lucky in getting opportunities to play rounds or 9 holes with our golf pro's.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of playing skins against John Hudson, a Pro of nigh 50 years!

Here's how it went :

  1. He birdied the 1st, I got a 4
  2. He bogeyed the 2nd as I did
  3. Par on the 3rd I bogeyed
  4. We both bogeyed the 4th
  5. He Eagled the 5th! I had a par
  6. Pared the 6th I had a 4
  7. Pared the 7th I had a double bogey
  8. He pared the 8th I had a birdie
  9. And he pared the 9th which I double bogeyed
So the old fella went round in 36, me 44 in his 70th year he can still play a bit!

The tips and comments made by John, make so much sense.
I would not want to have faced him in his pomp!!
