Well it's great to be back - looks like I had some beginners luck - clean card - BUT we all know these were pretty mild conditions and we all know BOB very well it will get tougher  |

Round 1Playing with new equipment (laptop) and my driving is much straighter - but I hit too many 95% shots which is not helpful. Putting wasn't bad but there is plenty of room for improvement all round. Like Ian says, it's good to be back - I've missed all that frustration, stress, nail-biting and throwing the mouse around the room...

Round 1. Well seen i haven't played this game since last tour, very rusty, should have maybe practiced first . Went to +3 after 5 but got it back to -1 on 2 occasions but followed up both birds with snots. Good to be back though. Onwards.  |

Round 2Didn't play at all well, my putting let me down badly. Pretty good and fair course though I think...

Round 3Another poor putting display cost me a lot of shots. Saved my best until the 18th, sending a long approach from a fairway bunker to within 6 feet of the cup.

Round 3. Poor start then a great run, putting was hit and miss this round, but a bit of improvement. Now for the easy round. LMAO.  |

ROUND 4 Steady round 3 putt on hole 2 and a lip out for eagle on 15 were the only holes i probably could have done better but happy with my start to the season. Took FAP with me he was unlucky on a few putts on back 9  |

Round 4Well, this was a surprise!! Possibly one of my best ever rounds considering the conditions. Did everything solidly, even my putting was very good, but my approaches were greatly improved on previous rounds. The icing on the cake came on #18 with a chip-in birdie. Now I just have to find some consistency...
