Lets just call it lack of interest - giving 12 shots to the field - use this week as a change in clubs and a practice week  |

ROUND 1Slow start for me, mainly due to having an ice-cold putter. Lost count of the number of putts under 10 feet that I missed. On the positive side I had no dropped shots. Don't know how accurate this course is compared to the real thing, but I thought it played very well. Nice to see lots of spectators too - how much money did we take on the gates Ian??!

round 1 - started off hot on the front 9. was able to stick em close and finally drained some birdie putts. back 9 brought me back down to earth right away but I was able to string a few birdies in, pin placement on 17 really screwed me up, I believe it was on a bit of a mound and I ended up 3 putting but I was able to escape without anymore damage on 18.
Round 2 - Wind seemed to pick up or at least the direction, battled a lot of cross wind blowing my approaches off line which caused plenty of long putts that I had to take my medicine and settle for 2 putt pars (with the exception of #11). The birdie attempts were very hard to come by and the ones I did convert were well deserved long putts. this round could have been way worse, #18 played like a par 5 with the wind and could be a round killer with the hazards, leaving with a par is very impressive in my book!

ROUND 2Had a dream start and then missed an ace on #8 by 12 inches. Looking good after 2 more birdies and I was playing well. Then I was ambushed on #16 when I inexplicably had 2 (!!!) Very Slow downswings and did well to card a triple bogey. Sank a good putt on #17 to get one back, and decided I couldn't reach the 18th green in regulation so laid up. Couldn't get down in 2 so dropped the shot I'd pulled back on #17. An eventful round but still very enjoyable - except for that 16th hole...

ROUND 1 took the boss man around with me looking for some tips but all i got was "dont eat the snow where those huskies go" from him, anyhow had a good round for a change, one snot spoilt the clean sheet but 3 birdie finish was a bonus. Still got the yips on my tempo but had better control over it this round. Lets see what happens next round.  |

ROUND 3Didn't have the best of luck on the greens, left a few on the edge, and a couple of chips went very close. The more I play this course the more I appreciate and enjoy it. Came good at the end with 3 birds in the last 4 holes so I'm quite content and relishing the final round...

ROUND 4Very pleased to go under par in this round, in the worst possible conditions probably. Enjoyed the course a lot more than I thought I would too.
