This was not the kind of send-off I had in mind for my caddy JP when we started our last round together before we take a break from each other for a while.
And I certainly didn’t envisage having to carry my own bag up 18 for the second day running as JP went ahead to discover if my ball was playable in the hazard.   The crowd loved it, but I’m glad I’m a player and not a caddie.
I came up short again with a seven iron which was inexplicable really, but that’s the way things went this week.
I can’t expect to contend and shoot four double bogeys as I did over the four rounds.  Every faux pas I made cost me plenty so it’s amazing that I still managed to finish just outside the top 10.
At least I tried on every shot and never gave up and that’s the way it will be when I return to action after two weeks off.
I’m heading down to Spain to have a look at a possible course development down there and then I’ll be using my season ticket at Liverpool on a rare occasion when Manchester United visit.
Thanks for following my progress this week and I’ll look forward to hooking up with you again on my build up to the US Open.
