That being the case Ian your round looks to be a pretty good one!! only because it finishes with 2 par 5's BUT - it is a lovely course actually enjoyed the round as will you Bob - "quote it's not about the score it's about the experience" - if you and I were worried about the scores we would be one of those other societies. Keep the conditions tuff mate that's what makes it fun. |

ROUND 1A frustrating round with so many putts burning the edge - then 2 badly played holes on the 8th and 9th suckered me. Got the shots back on #12 and #13 with both approaches coming to rest 2 feet from the pins - back on track. Messed up on #15 but 2 birds on the par 5's at the end meant an acceptable opening score. Not sure if I've ever played this course before - but it's certainly worthy of hosting a US Open, that's for sure! It's going to be a challenging week, but an enjoyable one I think!
You're right Ian, it is about the experience, and I think we're in for a treat this week my friend!!

OMG the course ate me up and spit out little pieces BUT the scenery is great - cart girl stopped on the 3rd hole with a low cut blouse and shorty shorts - and my game went into the tank  Not sure if I am weird in my old age but actually enjoyed a round where I shot +6   |

ROUND 2I know exactly what you mean!!
What a difference a day makes!! The first 7 holes were a dream - approaches good and putts dropping!! Then reality kicked in. The 8th and 9th chewed me up again, but even though I went from -5 to -2 I was very happy. Then I messed up the 10th, another shot went at the 12th, but I rallied with birds on #13 and the monster 14th. Parred #15 and, with 2 par 5's to come I was thinking of a -4 or even a -5 round, but it wasn't to be. A bogey on #16 was followed by a double on #17. That's ok I thought, the 18th is reachable in 2 so I should get a birdie at least. Then I saw the pin position - and remembered the nightmares it caused when I played here before. In the end I was happy with just a bogey - I know it could have been so much worse. Pin 4 is now out of the way so the last 2 rounds should be easier...

ROUND 3When I saw Ian's score I thought "he's gone and done it again!!". But actually the conditions were a lot easier than I foresaw. Like Ian, I managed a bogey-free round, which was very satisfying. Drives, approaches and putts were all good today - a bit of a rarity, and it could have been even better. Highlight was a 78-yard pitch-in on the 11th for eagle. Looking good for me now - barring any hiccups...

HAHA thanks Ian. The most satisfying holes are the par 4's that are not reachable in 2 - but you still manage to par them. I think Round 4 will be different though!!

ROUND 4Grabbed an early birdie on #2 but didn't manage another until the 13th, and that was courtesy of a chip-in. Had to make a lot of missable par putts, the best of which was a 30-footer on #16. Negotiated the dangerous pin on #18 to complete another bogey-free round - very pleasing!
