Hi Guys,
just played my Rd 2 with Randy. I can't get over how good this course is (not to mention its beauty). Add a little bit of wind, and even playing off the shorter white tees doesn't make it any easier. You really have to think your way around and leaving it in the wrong place on the green can result in some serious putts. Some you get, some you don't. I haven't seen a putt wobble in more directions than Randy's on Hole 12. It was an Army putt, left, right, left, then almost about face!
I love this game!
Cheers
Brad

Round 1 at Prospect Pass. One bogey due to a three putt... Ugh! Otherwise happy with my round. Round 2 tomorrow.

Hi Guys,
just watched Galen's Rd 1 against Randy's and what a game it was. There was never more that one shot between them, although they rarely scored the same score on the same hole. Had they been playing Match Play, the result would have been a 1 Up win, but I won't say to whom. You'll just have to watch their rounds to find out.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guys,
just watched Juan's Rd 1 and couldn't get over how much his putting has improved. This helped him to a very good front nine of 31 and, had his approach shot on the back nine been a little closer, he could have posted one of his best ever scores. Well played Juan.
Below are the results for Rd 1 on this beautiful course. As I said when I posted my Rd 1 file, I can't play any better than this (and it probably can't last), but very little between the rest of you guys in the Handicap and Stableford events.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guys,
just watched Galen's Rd 2 against Randy's and mine. We all missed a few putts, but I think that Galen gets the lip-out prize in this round. With a bit of luck, he could have easily been four or five shots better. But, that's golf!
So far, Randy is the only person to shoot better in the medium conditions that he did in the mild conditions. Pretty good effort partner.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guys,
just played my Rd 4 with Tarheel. I said recently that there was little between our abilities and the front nine proves this:
I also said my good form couldn't last, and the back nine proves this. Fortunately, Tarheel also lost the plot on the back nine, which was the only thing that kept me in the game. Talk about a tale of two halves!

I knew that double was going to bust me! I barely put the tee ob in the narrow landing area on that holeā¦

Round 2, and I had the same problem as Randy. Hot start and a cool down.
