Unfortunately the course seems tougher than I remember. I was troubled today with a stiff left hip joint but played ok despite struggling with it. The course is demanding and requires every part of your game to be working. Driving the ball has to be spot on due to out of bounds being in play on most holes. After getting it in play off the tee, the 2nd shots are difficult as most of them are uphill to elevated and sloped greens. If you manage to negotiate that, the greens are undulating and if you hit it in the wrong spots......good luck
So the great part about all of that is that it will sort out the crowd!! If I play good I should get through ok. Importantly I want to start well tomorrow and Wednesday and put myself in a good position, as trying to play catch up on this course, won't work!! I have a game plan for the course and am confident with it. I look forward to getting out there and certainly will be putting everything into this week as I really want to play up here again next year. Will be back tomorrow night with the round 1 update
