And here it is. White tees on this course really let you take a whack at the greens on the par 4's!

Hi Guys,
watched Galen's Rd 2 at Hickory Creek last night. Yet again, it was a case of so near, yet so far, with at least four putts and two chips which could just as easily gone in as stay out. They fall in and he is hitting in the fifties. It's a game of inches. Playing nicely Galen!
I'll have a look at Tarheel's final round at Kauri Cliffs later today. By the sounds of it, he had some fun!
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guys,
just watched Tarheel's final round at Kauri Cliffs against my own round, and yet again it was an absorbing contest. Nothing in it until the 7th, where I took a one shot lead, only to see consecutive eagles by Tarheel on 8 and 9 reverse that scoreline. We had identical back nines, to see Tarheel run out a well-deserved winner, with a very impressive 57 in strong winds. Well played Sir!
I think I will have to rename Tarheel to "Muscles" after he outdrove me by some distance on 13 of the 14 driveable holes!
I still haven't heard anything from Juan. I will give him until the end of next week to indicate that he is still competing. If I haven't heard anything by then I will assume he has decided to leave us and I will post the results for our first tournament of the year.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guys,
just watched Randy's Rd 1 at Hickory Creek against Galen and myself. Randy wasn't kidding when he said his putter deserted him. I reckon this round could have been 7 shots better, if his putter had been just a little more friendly. Mind you, he wasn't alone! I think Galen must have borrowed Randy's putter a few times on the back nine, as he was skimming past the edge of the hole quite a bit himself. Another very close contest between Randy and Galen.
Can't wait to see how they fare in Rd 2.
Cheers
Brad

Welcome back Juan. I thought we had lost you.
Thanks for your Rd 1 at Hickory Creek.
I will keep our first tournament open until I receive your Rd 2 from Indian Cypress Resort and Rds 3 and 4 from Kauri Cliffs. Also, completing those rounds will allow me to keep your handicap up to date.
No hurry though!
Cheers
Brad

Sorry to hear you haven't been well, Brad. There is absolutely no rush to get your rounds in. Play them when you feel well and can enjoy playing them.
Cheers
