played white tees. made some nice putts with the scotty from the demo room! conditions were tough, with 20-30mph wind for the whole round.
so…I did not hit 18 cups. Father in law knocked a couple back to me, but nothing over 2 ft.
I also utilized the local rule to take 2 shots and drop along the radius from the hole on a lost ball on 2. It didn’t really help me as I still dropped in the native, made 6 and just as likely could have taken stroke and distance and made 5.
the birdie on 9 might have been the best birdie I’ve ever made. The fan was on, hurting, but mostly off the right. Hit a nice punchy 2i with a draw that rode the wind a little. Not sure how far my 2nd was but there was a sprinkler near me that said 167.
Pin was back right, so I was guessing 170. No wind? 8i. But for this shot I chose a choked 4i 3/4 punchy thing. I started it at the native, over the greenside bunker, and watched it pierce through the wind. My playing parter was saying “hit it wind!” but I knew I had just painted a fucking masterpiece. As it reached it’s apex it started to fall left towards the pin, landed pin high right of the flag, and rested 12’ behind the hole.
Fairly easy read, mostly flat, breaking left but against the wind. Just about a ball right, and with my newfound best friend the mallet, rolled it in with the precision of a fine tipped paint brush.

It was definitely not all highlights. Swing was leaving me the last few holes and fought my butt off to get it in the house.
16 I hit a total queefer 2i off the tee, 218 left into the wind and hit 2i again into a bunker, which I was happy with. Good bogey, it was always a bogey hole with no 3w or driver.
17 I somehow missed a 200yd wide fairway, and got lucky to find it in the native, though in a bad lie. Tried to muscle out an 8i, but it only went about 40yds, in the native again. Punched a 4i to 130yds where I hit another 8i to 15ft and made the putt.
18 turned back downwind, had a downhill lie in the rough from 130. 50deg came out really well and rolled off the back. Pitched up to 4ft and kinda knew I needed to make it to feel semi-legit since it’s a par 70.
I don’t really feel like this counts, but it was still a very fun, memorable round.
Edited to follow the rules and add a bunch of detail only I care about.
