ILGU Mid-Leinster Junior Cup Semi-final
Birr v Tullamore in the Heritage.
Winners Birr
I'm one very happy golfer this morning, waking up knowing we are in the district final We had a great match yesterday winning one game on 18, and two on 17 with the other two games on 19 and 18 when called in.
I was last out for our team and got off to a great start and was 2up after 2. Played some really good golf tee to green but because the course was so busy yesterday I got no chipping practise in before the match and it was very obvious as my distance control even with the short chips was very poor. Thankfully my opponent was having an off day in and around the greens too.
From the 3rd hole on our game was very up and down but I managed to do enough to remain at least 1up throughout.
One of the big turning points for me was on 10, a par 5, i was one up and hit a cracker of a drive down the middle, opponent layed up infront of bunkers leaving 100+yard into green, i was 168m from the middle and said to myself i'd nothing to loose so took out the 4hybrid and let it rip and landed right in the middle of the green, took my two putts for birdie to go 2up and my confidence got a huge lift too.
Was back to only 1up after making a balls of 9i into tough 16th green and loosing the hole but thankfully a good 8i to the front of the green on 17 and 2putts was enough to win the hole, and my match and for an overall team win!!
Cant wait until the 29th of August now, playing enniscorthy or new ross in the district final in Tullamore. We have a great advantage as tullamore is only 30mins away from us, we all know it very will, in fact 2/5 of us have country membership there. The fact we can sleep in our own beds and all the night before will make a difference too.
This is my first major win in golf and would nearly go as far as saying it was as good as winning the senior camogie county final for the first time ever last year!! (If you know me you'd know how big that is) :P0 -

Don't ask!!
We got well bet but one positive I can take out of it is I played well and really enjoyed the occassion.
Level par through 5 and 4 up, going stead for whole front 9. Got to 9 a par 3 3 up and my birdie putt to win lipped out and unfortunately missed the putt back and instead of going 4up through 9 I was only 2up. Momentum swong and my game turned to ****e!! Proceded to loose the next 3 holes (4 in a row and found myself 1 down). Had a little chat with myself after blaring my 3rd chip in a row on 14 and then opponent found water on par 5 15, so I took full advantage and bombed one down the middle, she dropped about 280m from green and laid up to about 150m I took out the 3 metal and landed it on the green with maybe a 20ft putt and then we got called in!!! So in my head I would have won that hole, brough it back to all square and have gone on to play my favourite hole I was going to win I swear!! Down in other 4 games though so didn't make much of a difference 0
