As you can imagine it was fantastic to be playing golf today - and in the sunshine too!!!!
Three of the very wet holes had been shortened to par 3s and the 18th was cut to a par 4. This didn't make it any easier and there were preferred lies in operation.
The Scottish team played really well despite the difficult and wet conditions and achieved the target we had set ourselves. This was to finish in the top flight of 8 teams and we actually finished 7th. Unfortunately because of the curtailed tournament, there are only flights of 4 and so we are in the 2nd group. Tomorrow we play Belgium, starting at 10:06am.
Today's top performer was Sheena Wood, who played superbly. She was one over after 15 holes, but 2 double bogeys at 16 and 18 spoilt what had been an excellent round. These are both testing holes over water and caused many a high score. Alison Bartlett also had a good round - very steady play. The others were disappointed in their scores but I can't emphasise just how difficult it was - especially for the early grouping of Mary, Anne and Fiona. They were out when the ground was even wetter with the dew.
Anyway, on to the match play rounds now and I'm confident we will do well
