| Meeting O Madeira, Day 2. Same finish area as yesterday. My performance was not as good as on Day 1. Lost more than 2' to #5 in the green, when I lost confidence to do a direct approach, went back to the road and made much more distance. Two smaller mistakes (20" to 30" each) to #5 and #13.
Anyway, still best time once more and 1st place for the 2 day event. Very useful price won: a bottle of Madeira wine. |
