Round 1 in the books.
Struggled on the front 9. Bogeyed the par 5 8th hole as I hit it in the bunker and lost focus and tried to hit it out with my 1 iron which went three feet to my left. -3 at the turn.
Back 9 I rallied with 7 birdies and a near eagle on 18.
-10 for the round
I love this course.

I see myself having a struggle in Norway next week. The course is beyooooootiful, the greens some of the best I've seen. But it is slide rule golf, you will have to work very hard on your maths to figure out how to hit really tiny targets. This is probably the hardest course yet this season, not sure it isn't too difficult for the challenge circuit. Hope the wind does not blow too much and the crew waters the course so it's not rock hard. Ok I've said this before but believe me when I say "I didn't see this coming". First of all round 1 was nerve racking. When I saw 187s on the green I started to sweat. Missed the green on the first, then a lucky chip in for birdie. Birdied 5 and 7 but failed to convert on the par 5s. Still turned with a clean -3. Parred the first four on the back, then something clicked and birdied out. -5 back, -8 for the round and I am frankly stunned. Happily stunned. Onward!

Anyway. I managed -8 but par’d a par 5 that feels like a bogie and a par 4 that I have alway birdied So a disappointing good round

I had gotten birdies the last 4 times but I went long on that second shot. In rough, 6 yards and 10 inches down hill - impossible to stop the ball (for me) lesson learned. I would rather hit that ridge short (like I always did). I have a spreadsheet for 5 of my fav courses. LOL

At my worst score through 3 rounds ever. I detest these video game courses which is not improving my mood as the shots pile up!

What has happened to me... end of last season I was fighting for wins and promo marks consistently here in CC-C. Now I can’t seem to crack the top 100.
-3, E, -8, -7 gives me -18 for the tourney. Gross.
