Golf Highlight

Finally got to play the championship course yesterday. Fantastic. 42 degrees of heat made it a slog. Was a little excited to start with so fired double, double, double before bringing it back to a bogey then a long par streak. 8 pars, 1 birdie and several other scores.

No yardage book and no diagrams of layout so the play was a little difficult. It will be so much better second time around now that I know the layout. Found water on several occasions when I didn't know it was there. They have GPS on the carts so you get your yardage to objects, greens fronts, middles and centres.

Two highlights stand out. If you know the course from the European Tour the 16th hole is a drivable par four with that really large rock mound in front of the green. I think Cambo had it lucky with a great bounce a year or two back. Playing off the whites rather than the blues drove the green and had 20 foot putt for eagle. I was rapt. Took this photo to share my little milestone

Highlight number two. After 290 yards drive on par five 18 was able to hit my three wood into the front greenside bunker. 40 yards to pin I skunked it right over green and rough, missed putting green to hit large concrete area, high bounce last seen heading into clubhouse bar. Went for drink afterwards to check for broken windows. Love this game.
