Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Yes thanks. Best perormance ever in a competition so was delighted. 3rd out of 20. 33pts off a course handicap of 10. 14 over but with a bloody 4 over 8 on the first. Smacked a 6 iron to the green, it crashed into the marker post in the middle of the fairway and landed back at my feet. Couldn't do that again if I tried!
