Round 1From the sublime to the ridiculous!! Played the first 2 holes perfectly for 2 birdies, and was unlucky on #3 when my birdie putt lipped out. Then the mistakes started to creep in, culminating in a double-bogey on #9. Then my putting started to get worse and more dropped shots followed. Calmed down and bagged a great birdie on #14, holed a 32-footer on #17 for another tweetie, and got another shot back on #18. What a rollercoaster ride!! Gross 74, Net 72. I'm going for a lie down in a darkened room now...

This is one tuff M/F - had a couple rocket putts and fell asleep on one par 5 - other than that I will take it  |

Round 1Ohhhhhhh, deceiving!!! Couple of eagles saved this round. First one on #4 my drive almost went into the water, left me in the heavy stuff, knocked it in for one eagle. (surprised lol) Second E on 18 with a 50 foot heavy breaking putt uphill both ways :-) ( pleasantly surprised lol) I forgot about Bob's warning on #9, jesus! All putting mistakes for the rest of the bogey holes.

Round 1 - no screenshot as I clicked past it thinking I had 1 more hole left. really had difficulty dialing in my putting which led to some frustrating boogies!
Round 2 - front 9 took a big adjustment trying to again dial in the putting as the greens seemed to dry up a lot! the back nine I was able to regroup and get into a nice groove. I'm very pleased with my 2nd round despite the front nine blunders, I feel I've 'found' myself and gained confidence to navigate this course.

round 3 - looks like I found that groove again and stayed in it. I really never looked at my score and took it one shot at a time. my main struggle today was longer puts uphill, left a couple just short of the cup. I kept my composure and just reminded myself that I had an easy tap in for par. overall I'm beyond happy with my card today.

round 4- Go LOW day! The high winds didn't cause too much trouble since the ball stuck to the greens. but to call those soggy greens slow would be an understatement. I found myself begging my putts to get closer or find another roll or 2 to drop in. all in all i felt very confident and played well, I got worried after my 2 bogeys on the back wiped away all my hard work on the front, (both caused by leaving putts just short). I battled and had a nice streak to end the tournament on a strong note!

Round 3This round was all about 2 double-bogeys. The first, on the 4th hole, came after a Very Fast off the tee that found water. The second, on the 17th, came after a pushed approach that also got wet. Without those mishaps this would have been a lot better. It's the same old story - too many errors!!

Wind and slow greens made this round a real challenge  |
