Club Championship Round 1

The absolute sublime and ridiculous in the first round. All 3 of us in the final group birdied the first hole, and on the fourth tee I was 1 under par and a clear last of the 3 - the first 3 holes consisted of 6 birdies and 3 pars.
I was 1 under par after 11, and then the wheels came off completely. A double bogey on 12 was followed by a par, but then I went bogey, double bogey, triple bogey, all of which were 3-putts, just to add salt to the wounds.
My playing partners also succumbed to the 3 nasty flag positions, we played the par 3 15th in 7 over par combined, having played the first 3 in 6 under par combined! Some of the flags were in unbelievable positions, but it's the same for everyone I suppose. I finished things off with a stupid 3 putt on the last for a 79. Ridiculously, I am only 3 off the lead in 4th place, but I'm going to have to play exponentially better than the 11 greens and 36 putts from this morning to have any chance.
