Round 1 - Poor start, but then my driver, irons and putter all seemed to click into gear. It continued until the Road Hole where my approach found the greenside bunker and my second bogey followed. Delighted with my play and score, but I know it's going to get tougher...

Round 2 - Came back to Earth with a bump. Very Fast greens found me out yet again. What a mixed bag this was! Chipped in for bogey on #2, sank a curving 10-footer to save par on #3, nearly pitched in for eagle on #4, then 3-putted for bogey, had a triple on #8 due to that nasty pin, took 6 putts on #11, had a Very Fast on my approach on #15 resulting in a bogey, and on #16 I had another chip-in, this time for par. Bloody exhausting LOL!!! Can't see me coming back from this round, just gonna try to enjoy the rest of the event...

Rd 2 These greens are not very fast friendly.... 7 and 8 were breakers.... Couldn't wait to finish.  |

Sorry to say it is also another very poor rendition of St Andrews, there is a St Andrews Tourney rendition i played to compare and its much more realistic to the real course, better crowds too lmao bit sparse on this rendition must have gone elsewhere as the golf was crap lol. I did Ghost you round 4 and 15 along with others was brutal. Hope all goes well at the clinic buddy take care. |

Round 3 - Thought my putter was going to behave when I sank a 21-footer on the first hole for birdie. How wrong I was. Missed good chances on #3 and #4 before grabbing another bird on #5. Played #9 poorly but not as poorly as #13, the hole that broke my will. Somehow I managed to birdie the final three holes but that 13th did too much damage...

Round 4 Not a bad round considering the conditions  |

Round 4 - The aim was a level par round. At -3 after 10 holes I was looking for something better - then three bogeys in a row put paid to that. Some nasty pins out there. The undoubted highlight came on the 17th. Pushed my drive which clattered the hotel roof and nearly made the fairway, but I had to make do with a lie in the light rough. Hit a good 3-iron and found the middle of the green, then drained the 29-footer for birdie!! The 'lowlight' was on the 18th when I messed up my second and third shots and took a bogey. Achieved my aim, but could and should have been under par. A very frustrating week...

6 pars, 6 birdies, 6 bogies - a pretty balanced round, I would say.  |

Just shows how infuriatingly inconsistent my play can be!! Still enjoyed it though!!
