Hole 10 is a Par 5 461m. Again, my drive leaves me in the bushes and I am forced to play out from the trees. I just barely make it back to the fairway and I hit a 6-iron at the green. It just veers left of the bunker and I have a tough chip at the hole over sand. I makes it over I have a long putt for par. It goes close enough that I can tap in a bogey. Hole 11 is a Par 3 151m. I hit a good 6-iron at the tee and it land is a good spot on the green. I hit a putt with good speed that lands beside the hole and lets me get back on track with a par. Hole 12 is a Par 4 36m1. Thankfully, I manage to avoid the water hazard here and end up in the middle of the fairway. I hit an 8-iron at the flag and it lands on the green. I have a long putt for birdie and it nearly went in. But I was able to close it out for another par. Hole 13 is a Par 3 146m. I hit a 7-iron and it takes an unfortunate hop into the sand trap. It comes out easily enough and leave myself with a decent shot at saving par. It’s right beside the hole for a bogey and for whatever reason I push it right and end up with a double bogey. Hole 14 is a Par 4 324m dog-leg-right. I’ve been practicing hitting fades for this exact moment. However, I don’t catch it right and lose my ball in the trees on the left. I hit my provisional down the middle of the fairway and an 8-iron to the green. I have a decent attempt at bogey, and then a terrible shot a double bogey. Leaving me with a seven on fourteen. Hole 15 is a 375m Par 4. I hit a good drive down the middle of the fairway. And then I hit my 8-iron to the green. My putt is under hit, but it still leaves an easy enough par putt. It doesn’t fall and I have left at least five easy putts behind me today. At least I know where I need to focus my practice. Hole 16 is a Par 4 370m. I pull my drive left into the trees and have to hit a 5-wood back out. It clips the tree branch on the ground but it works out okay. I hit a good chip to within 5m of the hole and have a chance to save par. But again my putting lets me down and I end up taking a bogey. Hole 17 is a Par 4 322m. I smash my drive right up beside the green. I hit a flop shot over the bunker to the right of the flag. I have a decent chance at birdie that comes up short and I manage to tap this one in for a par. Hole 18 is a Par 4 298m. I hit a decent drive but it just rolls into the trees. I can’t go over the trees here, so I use my 4-iron to run it towards to the green. Thankfully it works out and I make the green in two. I manage to two putt from here and finish out the day with a par.
I had 43 shots on the back nine leaving me with +17 overall with a 13 handicap. That leaves me with 32 points overall and I ended up finishing 12th in the Sunday competition. Which I am happy about for my first every competition, but I have nightmares about all the easy putts I left behind and the lost ball on Hole 14. I am looking forward to playing in another competition and this time moving further up the leader board. Devilbend is definitely up there with one of my favourite courses so far and I can’t wait to play here again. If you know any courses in Melbourne that I should play comment it below, and if you made it this far give the channel a follow to see more of Melbourne’s golf courses.
