I recently had my best finish in the Dorset Women’s County Championships at Sherborne Golf Club for a few decades. I finished fourth in the 36-hole stroke-play qualifier and then narrowly defeated in the semi-finals of the matchplay stages by a very fine young US college player.
There were many competitors in the field who, on paper, should have performed better than me, but they all scored poorly. The difference, I believe, was in both the mental and physical preparation I’d done before the event this year.
